Jessica Lange
A chilling end to a killer first season, Constance's adopted son is basically already a killing machine.
Dylan McDermott & Connie Britton
Ben has a chat with his recently deceased wife about taking their baby and getting the hell out of that awful house.
Dylan McDermott
Moments before Ben gets murdered by house ghosts, he contemplates killing himself to join his family on the other side.
Connie Britton & Frances Conroy
Vivien gets the AHS version of a happy ending: taking care of her ghost baby in the afterlife.
Connie Britton
Poor Vivien. She managed to deliver her twins, but not without consequences.
Dylan McDermott & Connie Britton
When this photo was first released, fans had hope that Ben and Vivien might have happy times ahead. Alas, it was only a flashback to Violet's birth.
Taissa Farmiga & Dylan McDermott
What's a dad to do when your daughter won't leave the house? Drag her out! Too bad she physically can't leave her house.
Dylan McDermott
Ben fights off Rubber Man...in a towel. Just that fact alone should put this scene in the running for the greatest fight in the history of television.
Jessica Lange
Constance getting grilled for all those "disappearances" gave us a nice flashback to how she disposed of her husband's body. We'll never look at dog food the same way again.
Denis O'Hare
Back when Tate was alive, he made sure to tell Larry how he really felt about him by setting him on fire. Why talk about your feelings when you can just do that?
Dylan McDermott
Poor Ben. He thinks his wife cheated on him with their security guard and he has yet to find out that Tate is sleeping with his daughter. Oh, and his wife.
Jessica Lange
Constance has been through more heartbreak than anyone on the show, but she never forgets her Southern-bred manners.
Matt Ross
Dr. Charles Montgomery used his "talents" to get rid of the dead bodies of the Black Dahlia in the '40s and Constance's lover Travis in present day.
Connie Britton & Jessica Lange
Vivien has had probably the worst year ever, and on top of everything, she's in a mental hospital. And she can't hide when Constance visits her.
Taissa Farmiga & Evan Peters
Star crossed lovers? Kind of. But if Violet is really dead, then they'll definitely be together forever.
Connie Britton
Hayden took revenge on Ben and his family by messing with Vivien's mind, which eventually caused her to be shipped off to an institution.
Taissa Farmiga
Violet may have been spooked by the ghosts of the house before, but now she's basically buddy-buddy with them.
Connie Britton
Vivien is having twins! And since she slept with two men in one day, we can only assume one baby is Ben's, and one is...the evil spawn of Rubber Man.
Dylan McDermott
It's hard to hate Ben when he looks like this. But he has a definite dark side, and when it comes to his family, he's willing to do anything to make sure they all stay together. Even after Vivien kicks him out of the house when crazy Hayden nearly killed her.
Matt Ross
Truly one of the most disturbing TV characters ever, Dr. Charles Montgomery's story is twisted and fascinating all at the same time. Only someone truly messed up in the head would sew back together the mangled body of his baby son in hopes to save him. Unfortunately, he/it turns into an immortal killing machine.
Evan Peters, Jessica Lange & Frances Conroy
They may be dysfunctional, but they are a family in their own right. Especially when they take it upon themselves to kill anyone who endangers the well-being of the house.
Dylan McDermot & Denis O'Hare
One of our favorite "OMG" moments on AHS was when Larry popped up out of nowhere to whack Hayden (Kate Mara) over the head with a shovel, killing her. She may be dead, but she is not going anywhere.
Alexandra Breckenridge
The maid Moira, who is seen as both a beautiful seductress and an old woman, remains one of the biggest mysteries surrounding the house. One thing we know for sure, Constance (Jessica Lange) killed her in a truly grusome fashion: a bullet through the eye.
Connie Britton, Dylan McDermott & Taissa Farmiga
A picture perfect happy family, right? Until it's revealed that Ben knocked up someone other than his wife. But we forgive him for having such a rockin' body.
