Top Horror TV Series From the Last 25 Years as Ranked by IMDb Users12 of 20
9. "American Horror Story" – Rating 8.2
Fans have strong feelings about FX's anthology horror series, or at least about each individual season. Overall, "AHS" is ranked high by IMDb users. When "AHS" was renewed for a sixth season, FX CEO John Landgraf noted that the series had become FX's highest-rated show "while also pushing every conceivable boundary of creative excellence and audacity."
But each season is essentially its own unique show, and not all of those shows have been well-received. The highest individual episode ratings have gone to Season 1 ("Murder House") and Season 2 ("Asylum"), with occasional higher ratings for Season 4 ("Freak Show") and Season 3 ("Coven"). Nothing from the most recent season, "Hotel," is anywhere close to the top. And yet more than 186,400 users took the time to rate the series on IMDb, and liked it enough for it to have a 8.2.
