Summary

“American Horror Story” has given audiences a lot to chew on over the years: wildly inventive themes, sadistic imagery, over-the-top performances and gleefully macabre mythology. But arguably its greatest contribution to television since its debut in 2011 is its characters, an ever-expanding company of ill-fated spooks and kooks who rarely find a happy ending, and yet we relish in watching their descent into whatever brand of hell the series is conjuring that season.
