American Horror Story: Every Villain Ranked Worst To Best
2. Bloody Face (Asylum)
Much like fellow Asylum villain Sister Eunice, Bloody Face worked due to the performance of the ever-dependable Zachary Quinto.
In Asylum, Bloody Face was the figure guiding the season's story forward. Kit Walker was imprisoned at Briarcliff as a suspect in the grisly Bloody Face murders, whilst journalist Lana Winters ventured into the Manor to investigate the killings for herself. Later, Briarcliff's seemingly compassionate psychiatrist Dr Oliver Thredson was revealed as the prolific, mask wearing killer.
Quinto's ability to shift between calm and caring to threatening and unhinged was an absolute revelation, perfectly capturing Bloody Face's larger-than-life reputation and his unassuming secret identity.
Bloody Face, with his mask, chilling voice and sadomasochist tendencies, remains one of AHS's greatest evils, but just misses out on the #1 spot...
