Violet discovering her own body is the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever seen
Caitlyn Williams agreed
Yes that’s when I was like this show is really good.
Mine was when Shelly realised her legs had been amputated
Caitlyn Williams Not a fan of the show but that twist was fucking amazing.
I just gave u 1k likes
I also think Elsa getting her legs cut off and sally being sewn together to corpses
That Sally scene was messed up
This happened? Wow, Frozen 3 must be going in a totally different direction.
Oh yes both were super disturbing
@@VigilanteVegan HAHAGAHA PLSSS IM SCREAMING
@@sofievugts3028 BAHAHHA
Penny: If you want to stop me you'll have to kill me
Everyone watching American horror story: very poor choice of words
My butt burns
Rose Punch tmi!!
Rose Punch see a doctor
Facts
Lol opinions are like assholes...every living thing has one
This should be titled “Most Disturbing”, not scariest.
ChewwwBeccca actually tho
True most of these are just plain disturbing
I know right? I can't believe I kept on watching till the end. Damn it
ChewwwBeccca I feel like the only scary scenes from the show all happened in Roanoke.
tbh to me ahs is necessary scary but more disturbing
No. 1 should've been Jessica Lange leaving AHS.
@@ebony5285 i found someone dumber than me omg
e b ! Are you dumb or something
@@ebony5285 she left because she wanted to
At least her exit from the show couldn't have been a more iconic send off.
Great Grande it was sad/scary when she ahs bc it wound never be the same without her:(
Hotel doesn’t have enough recognition, the whole season is one big acid trip.
Alice Morris LITERALly and not only that as someone who particular favors goth music the soundtrack was phenomenal
dead boy yes it was amazing!!
That season got Emmy what u talking about 😂😂
Alice Morris fax
yeah hotel was badass. i was on the edge of my seat.
The bloodyface twist in Asylum will always get me. Best twist of the whole show
IT MADE MY HEART FALL LITERALLY I HAD NO IDEA IT WAS HIM
he played it so well too. to the point i cannot look at the actor the same way anymore.
the second he called her “mommy” i was literally terrified
The scariest for me was the season 4 finale when dandy shoots all the freaks. It's the realism that makes it scary.
And with all the nonchalance of sweeping up some crumbs off the floor, because that's how he viewed other people, especially freaks.
id like to forget about that
I think that was the best scene from the whole series
That scene was incredible. The acting, the humming, the whole thing was amazing. (although it was sad)
True
"There's a reason it's not called American Comedy Story."
Have the people at Watchmojo ever actually seen how funny this show often is?
Coven:
Cordelia: Any last words?
Myrtel: Balanciagaaaaa
😂😂😂
Yeah but that's not what the show consists of
"The stew is Stu"
What are you talking about? Everything is scary in AHS.
AHS: "The name game"
*THE NAME GAME*
When Lana looked at the lamp in Olivers house and you felt something wasn't right, that was the most terrifying moment in the whole show
watch roanoke
Sarah Paulson's cries/screams always make my skin creep. 😭
Agreed! Lady's got some pipes. I always cry when she cries. She's so good at emoting. Her eyes are so beautiful, happy and sad at the same time. Love her!
Exactly
It’s a bit annoying tbh
Asylum is the best season. Perfect mixture of psychological, possession, torture and slasher horror with lots of gore, monsters and even fucking aliens. OG season.
Yep. It's my favorite season and always will be. It was the darkest and twistiest.
I was all for asylum but I felt like it didn’t pace well. The more I watched the quicker it slipped down my list into 6th place 🤦🏿♀️
It was way too gory for me could finish after 3 episodes
@@rossy2056 None of the seasons have good pacing. The story is always drawn out and rushed at the end.
Hugh Jass I actually thought roanoake was the best for pacing!
How the hell did NONE of the scenes with Delphine in the 1800s make this list? Especially Bitchcraft's opening.
Fernando Hernandez I thought the same thing!
I'd say those scenes arent necessarily scary, but deeply deeply disturbing
so scary
Yea I had to look away
I felt sooo bad for penny when her father had her tattooed:(
I know right
Nobody deserves to get turned into a lizard girl 😔
Me, too. But I don’t think it should’ve been on this list. It wasn’t scary at all... just really, really sad.
The minute Lana stepped into Oliver’s house, I knew something bad was finna go down
literally i got those vibes
Same or when he made kit confess to the murders
The nail gun scene from cult, the school shooting scene from murder house, and the metal cone rape from Hotel are the scenes that made me feel physically unwell, and i've seen EVERYTHING (hostel, a Serbian film, etc.)
the rape scene was unbearable like jesus
That nail gun scene left me in a cold sweat
ive been having a lot of recommendation for Serbian Film, is it rlly scary??
@@misshantrope dont watch it...its not scary...its worse than that
Have you seen Salo, though?
Never seen Serbian film, never wanna see it.
neil patrick harris being a total psycho and sawing emma roberts in freak show definitely got me at the edge of my seat
Omg forsure
That one had me thinking because I didn't know whether to find it funny or disturbing.
Honorable Mention:
Pepper's sister set her up for murder
Juanesha Franklin that was so sad
That damn episode made me go from sad to pissed so quick
the saddest moment for sure
Damn you Rita Gayheart 😭
pepper was the one who i felt sorry for the most i literally cried i love her so much
like, her story was already soo bad in asylum, but then you realise it was even worse,,, i just i cant stand it
I don't think that Violet discovering her own body is scary, but it is definitely heart-breaking and devastating.
Roanoke was the scariest season to me.
Because of the POV effect?
Y?
People hate roanoke for some reason but it’s so GOOOOD
@@yarriegiddings8533 congrats on being the only person on the planet to like that season
Agree. It might not be the best season but it is the scariest
Nora walking in on Charles trying to stitch their dismembered baby back together in season 1 still gives me chills
That has still got me fukd up
And when he sucks on that cloth thing with the drugs scares the shit outta me
Murder House, Coven and Asylum will always be the Unholy Trinity of AHS Seasons ❤️
Macs Utopia what about hotel I really like that season
Murder house, asylum, coven*
what about freak show
maya I only liked the first few eps of Freak Show. When Twisty is killed that’s when the show dropped in my opinion, besides the Pepper episode, I enjoyed that.
Gillian Fleischer I think it was a little messy, they only brought other characters from older seasons just to kill them off (MH’s real estate agent and Coven’s Queenie). I loved the first episode but it had one of the weakest demon’s and I didn’t really care about most of the cast, besides the Countess
Devil's Night was an amazing scene. It wasn't scary to me, just shocking when the realization hit. One of the best scenes in Hotel's season.
Alex Finch I think it was more scary as you don’t realise until later that they’re based off actual serial killers. I only knew that Richard and Aileen were real killers immediately
YESSSS
@@idarkdark i knew all of em when he first mentioned them but i see where your head is at
Yes that was my favorite scene.
@@idarkdark i knew jeffrey dahmer right there.
Asylum will always be the best season
Fight me.
Asylum and Coven are probably my top 2 with Apocalypse and then Hotel
Preach! I got ya back
Jason Mistretta THATS WHATS UP 💯
I will not. I will stand with you. Season 2 took season 1’s mindfuck and added 6,000 machetes, shoves right through my soul!!!!!
Murder house. Hotel. Coven. Asylum. Apocalypse. Cult. Frek show. Roanoke. In that order. Asylum could have done with having obe of the story lines dropped: incarceration, aliens, possession,, nazi war criminals, mutilation and a serial killer.... drop one would have been better to focus on. Aliens wernt needed
What about the school shooting that was pretty damn scary
Edit thank you for all the likes
Agreed
Eh wasn’t too scary . Ahs knows how to turn the scare up a knotch
what made it scary was that it only ever left your mind to fill in the blanks
you never see anyone get shot until the end
only the horror on the character's faces as they prepare for the end
@Joseph Hernandez Season 1 called Piggy Piggy of episode 6
This scene was disturbing because most of the victims were in a library just like Columbine. Ironically when I was in high school back in 2004 a family friend of the first Columbine victim(Rachel Scott) came to my school.
What about dandy’s Bette and dot puppet made from his moms body!?!?!?
I thought that scene was hilarious, not scary
I’d definitely classify that as more disturbing than scary. Everything with Dandy was disturbing.
@@Hiiiiiiiiieeee Yea. Especially since he was so nonchalant about all of the horrors he committed. He was like a creepy man child.
What?!?! I swear I miss too much in episodes when the fuck was this
Or just Dandy in general.
I think the scene from the last episode of Roanoke should’ve been number 1, seeing the group of teenagers getting impaled and burned alive was the most stomach turning scene in ahs history
Evan 2nd to last
Except they said they were focusing on psychological scares, not gore.
Roanoke was the most demonic season to me. Scary.
Evan right next to the scene in Freak Show where Maggie gets literally sawn in half and her organs spill everywhere. 🤢
Meh..
The saddest scene for me was in freak show when we find out the rest of peppers story and she says goodbye to elsa😢😢 I think one of the most disturbing scenes is definitely the shock therapy and conversion therapy in asylum and when sally sews herself to her friends in hotel
Omg that was sooo sad
I cried
8/10 of these “moments” were just more shocking than scary.
Which ones do u think we’re scary
You said it! There's a difference between 'scary' and 'sick'.
Dude, I still feel awful for Shelley.
I dont she cheated and killed malcom
@@Rbcinema68 Huh lol
@@Rbcinema68 bruh that’s Shelby not Shelley
@@sabershikik9351 o shit 10 months later I'm tripping 😂😂
I get so mad when people say Hotel isn’t a good season. It’s literally a masterpiece, the acting, the scenery, the costumes.....just beautiful. I can’t remember her name but the mother who lost her son (Holden) did such an incredible job acting that I forgot it was just a show.
As much as i hate Roanoke i can't deny it delivered on the horror.
Edit: How is the first episode of Apocalypse not even mentioned on this list?
Covenfan1234 I just want to forget I ever saw it 😎
Roanoke is one of my favorite seasons!
Coven wasn’t on the list either.
@@joejoe5673 It's so underrated. Definitely the most straight up horror of any season thus far (although I think 1984 may match it). It also had a contained storyline with no plotpoints that went nowhere, which is a common problem for the show.
TwilightLink77 coven wasnt scary it was more dark humour than horror
Violets scene is really scary because I’m 1000% sure that’s what being dead is like 😩
Scariest thing for me was finding out Sarah and Evan weren’t going to be in 1984
Roanoke was one of the scariest seasons, there should've been more than 1 scene from there on this list
I really miss Zachary Quinto on the show. He was such a chilling villain
anything with twisty should’ve made the list.
Chloe Sevingys character crawling up the stairs at the school was the scariest moment of all the shows from Asylum
The house of that sick priest man in "Cult" is also really really scary
AHS videos 2 days in a row - well done Watchmojo - please keep them coming - I love them💕
Why is Violet's death almost always number one of these lists? There are so many other things that have happened n this show that are more shocking.
Bella Rafter I was literally thinking the same thing. 🤦🏼♂️
Maybe because it was such a shocker at the time and it's kind of an iconic moment in the show's history. But I agree, it's not #1-worthy.
Ikr the second she couldn't get outside I knew she was dead
Violet: "I don't wanna die"
Resident Ghost: *"Omae wa, mou shinderu."*
Strangely, AHS seems to love happy endings at the end of a season, just not for every character.
Unpopular opinion- Zach Quinto should have won the Emmy for Asylum, not James Cromwell
cazia9 why unpopular? I think everyone agrees that quinto did a better job
Fucking yes
they were both amazing in their roles!
Bloody face reveal was the scariest moment for me.
For me the Dandy's gruesome crimes were the most purest evil of all time. Not just that he was creepy af for a normal looking guy
My favorite season is Murder House, it's so nostalgic seing this now.
I think there should have been a twisty scene in this
The show is more dramatic than horror thats fact
Can someone tell me what’s scary or fucked up about the hotel dinner scene I felt like that was one of the best scenes in the season
right, like what was scary about that?
Violet seeing her own body after finding out she didn't survive the overdose
Maylen Rose yeah that was messed up giving you the 6th sense vibes
I can't wait to watch AHS: 1984, this Wednesday on FX
This shit fr ab to be crazy
Yea. I'm curious to see what they do with it. It's marketed as straight up slasher horror which I enjoy. But I feel like AHS never takes the typical path and there will be some kind of twist that makes it not what it seems.
SPOILER ALERT:
The wedding scene was really horrible
Whitley's Dollhouse Did u watch it?
Lmao. Looking at this in 2021 and laughing because I think we can all agree that 1984 was the most disappointing season. Close second for me was Roanoke.
Paul saying "what have I done?" broke my heart
To be honest, these are not the most scariest moments in the show. And Violet discovering her body is the scariest thing, seriously?
@Hoang H. Nguyen totally!
These are psychological scares as opposed to the obvious and gory scenes and jump scares , it made sense to me why these were selected
Tanya Dudik lets be honest they probably would’ve been demonetized
honestly i feel like number 1 should have been when lana figured out who dr thredson was, and the fact that in murder house when she was fed a human heart raw and enjoyed it should have been on the list, or the part in murderhouse when they were sewing the demonic babies body parts back together with animal body parts also shouldve been on the list. like violet seeing her dead body, not even disturbing or scary at all, like so she has a couple holes in her face and flies are all around her? not the first time we've seen a mutilated dead body.
@@camerabunny6600 idk finding out you're dead after months of thinking you're alive and to see you're decompsing body would be absolutely horrifying. and it was brain and i believe liver but there wasn't a heart and it was animal organs not human
Asylum was definitely the most disturbing season
“Well there is a reason the show isn’t called American comedy story”
Despite having some of the best jokes in TV history.
The coven episode where the nature chick is just cutting the frog. Not scary, just uffed up.
True it was chilling
Probably bc we all know a gentle soul who can’t handle biology dissections
misty you mean?
Isn't that in Apocalypse? Or was her hell inspired by Coven?
@@lbghaze it was coven when she died and then for apocalypse they recreated the scene,to get misty out of her hell
I love Taissia Farmiga she's so beautiful 😍.
I would say one of my favorites I wish was on here is the Santa Killer from Asylums flashback when he killed that family.
I definitely found the coffin murders to particularly unsettling! I had forgot about it, but upon being reminded, I am kinda creeped out all over again.
The couple in the coffins, and the young man with nails in his head are honestly the most disturbing in the entire series, for me. Cult was such a brilliant horror story. I'm in the very small minority who absolutely loved it.
Roanoke is so under appreciated. Even if you hated the documentary/reality style filming, it’s still the one of the scariest seasons since season 2.
Watch Mojo hasn't seen a single episode of AHS.
Exactly like theres so much more HORRIFYING scenes that they shouldve put instead of this thing
@@igothooeesss759 they said at the start this list was more for psychological horrifying moments rather than the gory ones
i remember watching the bloodyface twist in asylum and literally gasping and being in shock THAT TWIST WAS AMAZING
You know what was really scary? When the Angel of Death meets her cousin in the body of the nun..and during their conversation she breaks free momentarily of it's control, to cry out and say "Release me"..
When I saw this Top 10, I was expecting that scene.
The murder house season was probably the best
Not gonna lie Roanoke deserved to have more slots on this list. That season is the only one that has me actually scared and jumping. It is such a good season.
#10. YOU PICKED THE WRONG HOUSE, FOOL!!!
Nuclear bombs dropping was the scariest for me because of the real possibility that it could happen.
Yeah the realistic stuff is the scariest for me too. The entire season of Cult terrified the shit out of me because I lived in St Louis during the clown threats and also lived next to Trump extremists so that season fucked me up so bad. I hated the nuclear bombs, too.
Yooo the scene where shelly climbs up the stairs was filmed at my school!! We do a haunted basement every year right by their in the basement.
Tate walking down the hallway to the whistling. I grew up during Columbine-trust me, those were terrifying times.
I can’t believe you skipped the burning of the streamers from Roanoke, that had me fucked up for days
The thumbnail: a pig man thing
Me: Inosuke is that you
I don't think it's him. He's from Demon Slayer, not American Horror Story
That’s wasnt conversion therapy. That was electroshock therapy but ok. And that was not Shelby
Girl bye
Which they used in conversion therapy but go off I guess
It was indeed conversion therapy. Trying to force her to have sex with a man. Electric shocks when looking at beautiful women. And that is Lana not Shelby.
I agree. Very scary moments. Very unsettling and uneasy. Very chilling moments
Number one broke my heart and made me cry, that scene was a lot and yet made me love the show so much
violet finding her own body was such a mix of emotions for me..i remember see it for the first time, and i was literally on the edge of my seat screaming at the tv, WTF just happened?!? murder house is my favorite season tho, with asylum being #2..i absolutely HATED cult and apocalypse, but the franchise redeemed with 1984
6:43 Omg.........Commander Waterford?! You were a priest "before"?!
omg i said the same thing haha
Under his eye
Praise be
the twist in season 2 ep. 5 was amazing. It was really unexpected, and Sarah’s acting was fantastic
So excited for 1984!
God what happened to Penny made me sad and not scared. At least she got a happy ending in the afterlife with Paul.
As a claustrophobic, the buried alive scene in Cult was genuinely hard to watch for me. If you agree but can handle a scene like that, you should watch The Vanishing (1988).
they should've had an honorable mentions list cuz there's so many more scenes that are golden in AHS...
I got scared in that one scene in Coven when Sarah was locked in her house lights off waiting to be attacked
1984 premieres this Wednesday!!!
The bit in Freak Show inspired by the film Freaks where his head is attached to Meep’s body gave me nightmares.
Oh my!! Now this is a list. I love AHS. Cant get enough!! Excited about the new season.
I will really miss Evan though. It was the same when Jesscia Lange wasnt in Hotel...you definitely missed her presence....but once I got stuck in , I enjoyed it. In my opinion Jessica was the Queen of early AHS.
For me it was both the introduction and backstory of Twisty the Clown that both creeped me out & made me feel sorry him at the same time.
Ok, but how are 2 of AHS's greatest plot twists scary? They're just great twists. Threadson being bloodyface isn't scary, it's a revelation. Violet finding her body isn't scary, it's an aha moment. idk man.
The demon with the strap on taking that guy’s cheeks in that hotel room scarred me for life
Number 4 was “lee” meeting pig man not “Shelby”. Smh
I didnt catch her saying that and my name is shelby so I just got very confused but we Gucci now
I like how Murphy and Falchuck made callbacks to earlier seasons as the show went on, like going back to the Murder House in AHS Coven. It’s nice to see the events in older episodes in a new light.
Since watching "Saw" I don't like anything with Pigs....
I cannot wait for the new season omg
roanoke should’ve been on the list. it’s one of the most gory, horrifying, underrated as fuck seasons in ahs.
I’m forever sad that I wasn’t paying attention when violet discovered her body. The moment does hold as much shock for me, as I didn’t fully process it
Ryan Murphy is a genius with all his shows, especially pose and Hollywood.
Where’s Dandy’s shooting rampage from the season 4 finale?!? That was a very unsettling, terrifying scene.
They didn’t even include the school shooting in season one. I guess we’re truly desensitized to shootings.
8:34 that part always gets me lmaoo 😭😭
Sarah Paulson's acting when thredson catches her in his little workshop or whatever. Amazing. It's like she's trying to convince him she's ok with it or unaware of what's happening.
