Evan Peters, Jessica Lange, and the rubber man from Murder House

American Horror Story has been charming viewers with its blend of horror tropes and camp since 2011 and, with a new season in development, it shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. Although the seasons of this anthology show vary in quality , they can always be counted on to serve up some delectable acting. Indeed, showrunner Ryan Murphy is great at handing his casts juicy roles to sink their teeth into.

9 Frances Conroy Moira O'Hara - Murder House, Asylum "I don't want to be here anymore! I'm frightened!" Series regular Frances Conroy has turned in various performances across the seasons: the witch Myrtle Snow in Coven, the Angel of Death in Asylum, the wealthy Gloria Mott in Freakshow, and cult leader Bebe Babbitt in Cult. That said, her best performance is her Emmy-nominated turn in the first season as Moira O'Hara, the long-serving maid-turned-ghost.

7 Evan Peters Kai Anderson - Cult "To what do we give our highest value? Is it family, friends, our homes, money, notoriety? No. Above all, humans love fear." Evan Peters is a consistent highlight of the show, clearly delighting the coterie of macabre and eccentric characters he gets to play. Cult, the season that focused on American politics, was one of the weaker installments, but Peters was terrific as charismatic and dangerous cult leader Kai.

5 Angela Bassett Marie Laveau - Coven "When the gods see this willingness to suffer, to sacrifice, they pay attention." Coven is all-around one of the strongest seasons, including the caliber of its acting. Angela Bassett charms and unnerves as Marie Laveau, the Voodoo Queen of New Orleans, a charmer of snakes and caster of curses. She's a memorable mix of strength, mystique, and thirst for vengeance.
