For 11 seasons, fans of "American Horror Story" have fallen prey to the creators' fearsome plots and infamous characters. Creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk use potentially scary situations and current events to reel in audiences and make unforgettable season-long storylines.

Despite being around since 2011, "American Horror Story" has continued to give audiences new ideas. What's not so new about the show, though, are the faces fans are used to seeing each season. As an anthology series, each season is unrelated to the last. However, actors like Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, Lily Rabe, Frances Conroy, and Denis O'Hare have each appeared in more than eight of the 11 seasons.

With so many seasons of "American Horror Story," though, there are bound to be seasons that are scarier than others. Overall, each concept could affect fans differently — some fans are more scared of clowns and witches, where others fear settings like slasher-stalked summer camps and haunted mental asylums more. However, in terms of general fear factor, script development, and characters that uneasily stick with you, here are all 11 seasons of "American Horror Story" ranked from least to most scary.
