The fourth season of American Horror Story would be the first to break the series’ anthological tradition, as it featured returning characters from the second season. Freak Show featured Lily Rabe, Naomi Grossman, and James Cromwell all reprising their roles from Asylum.

Starring Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Michael Chiklis, Frances Conroy, Denis O’Hare, Emma Roberts, Finn Wittrock, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, and Jessica Lange, the season would follow the so-called “freaks” of one of the last remaining freak shows in the United States.

The creepy circus setting would make American Horror Story: Freak Show scary enough to be on the list, but the way the story preys on the viewers’ fears of being an outcast and the portrayal of the exploitation of the “freaks” adds an extra layer of existential fear and dread.

Visually, the show is as sharp as ever, and every frame drips with creepy style. It’s one of the most remembered seasons of the show and should provide you with plenty of thrills and fear.
