    The Ten Scariest American Horror Story Episodes

    In preparation of the new season of "AHS" which will premiere Wednesday, October 8th at 10/9c on FX, I have put together an unofficial list of the scariest episodes in AHS history. Not for the faint of heart. Spoiler alert!

    10. "Pilot" Season 1 Episode 1

    The one that started it all. Not only are the asshole twins brutally murdered in the basement, but in the present day of this episode, we get our first scarring (no pun intended) glimpse of Larry, the burned man. We are also introduced to Leather Man and are witness to Tate's maniacal psychological torture of a drug-addicted bully. Give yourself a pat on the back for braving the rest of the show after all that.

    9. "The Seven Wonders" Season 3 Episode 13

    Visiting the witches' various hells were pretty bad, but poor Misty Day. Stuck forever in a science lab having to slaughter and reanimate frogs for all eternity. Her screams of anguish are enough to give you nightmares. Shudder.

    8. "Madness Ends" Season 2 Episode 13

    7. "Burn Witch Burn" Season 3 Episode 5

    6. "The Magical Delights of Stevie Nicks" Season 3 Episode 10

    5. "Protect the Coven" Season 3 Episode 11

    4. "Unholy Night" Season 2 Episode 8

    3. "Birth" Season 1 Episode 11

    2. "Tricks and Treats" Season 2 Episode 2

    1. "Piggy Piggy" Season 1 Episode 6

    Because clowns are by far the scariest thing ever. In existence.
