You'll Never Get 100% On This American Horror Story: Murder House Quiz

How well do you remember the first season of the major genre favourite?

With eight seasons already in the bag, American Horror Story is showing no signs of slowing down any time soon.

Not just a ninth season - the slasher-centric American Horror Story: 1984 - on the way imminently, but FX has already confirmed that a tenth season of AHS will be arriving in 2020.

To date, the genre favourite series has taken in sinister houses, mental asylums, witches covens, evil carnivals, eerie hotels, native indian burial grounds, and pretty much any sort of chilling, atmospheric location, characters and plot points that you could imagine.

Here, though, we're going to turn our attention to the season that launched this anthology horror series - that being Murder House.

In Murder House, the focus was on the Harmon family as they moved to Los Angeles to deal with the miscarriage of a child and of patriarch Ben's cheating ways. But it was far from all sunshine and rainbows for the family, for their new house and neighbourhood was laced with all kinds of unsettled spirits and tormented pasts.

How well do you remember this first season, though? It's time to find out, for we've put together a quiz that even the biggest AHS fan will struggle to get 100% on.
