I will place each of the first four seasons in order of which I think was scariest, to least scariest. Asylum: There is no doubt that this is would be number one. Considering the whole story is centered around "Bloodyface" and Christianity. It is expected to be scary in terms of Paranormal activity and everything that comes with that. Death. possession, corrupt nuns. But if we put aside the scariness we can see dramatic story lines which represent bigger ideas out of the show.(I don't want to spoil anymore than I have for you :) ) Murder House: Now I am placing this here because for me it only comes second because the heavy connections it had to REAL life murderers. The fact that a character can still be around if they have died just scares me. Not to mention the scary goblin looking baby that wants your blood. Murder House probably had the most sexual content in it thus far. Coven: Now for people who have seen all the first four seasons they must be wondering why this is third? Its because it ACTUALLY was scary but was watered down with comedy; and I liked that. The whole season is based around Mothers and Daughters, the salem witch trials and how the "real witches" escaped and moved to New Orleans. We also see again a real murderer named Madame Delphine LaLaurie and how this is made to intertwine with rascism and "hollywood Voodoo" and Witchcraft. This season is worth the watch, but you should watch it after the 1st and 2nd season because Coven will give you a break from the Horror ! Freakshow: This is here because it was not HORROR it was more on the thriller side as it was disturbing and less scary. I can think of several times where I just did not want to look at the screen cause it was gory or disturbing again in general. I was never scared but more put off but some of the gruesome murders. Twisty was scary but then they killed Him off early.
