The 10 Most Disturbing 'American Horror Story' Moments, According To Fans

Posted by a former Redditor:

Elsa Mars getting her legs sawed off with a chainsaw in a snuff film.

From Redditor u/SplatterFrogs6:

I've been binge-watching AHS and I'm only halfway through Freak Show, so having seen some sh*t, what disturbed me the most was episode four with Elsa's confession. Elsa talking about losing her legs to a snuff film (and seeing it) was hard to watch. But nonetheless, [it was a] powerful scene and amazing acting from Jessica Lange…

From Redditor u/mike_emichal_romance:

100% the weird relationship with Kyle and his mom from Coven.

From Redditor u/lucyvgu:

Kyle being sexually [assaulted] by his mother in Coven, and then becoming the equivalent of a sex doll for Madison and Zoe.

From Redditor u/smallleprechaun:

What Doctor Arden did to Shelly. When she crawled out and all the kids saw her, it made me feel sick.

From Redditor u/Otkast:

In Asylum, Shelly's fate at the hand of Arden is the worst. It's disgusting and dehumanizing. Her legs are cut; she feels so hopeless. Every single scene with her made me sick and sad, so I legitimately felt relieved when she was killed by Father Timothy. I know this is a show, but poor thing…

From Reddtior u/hermajestie:

Definitely Dandy shooting everyone in Freak Show. It was so anxiety-inducing the way it was silent as he hummed and took his time walking around the [circus] camp. He was so ruthless about it, too, it was nerve-wracking. It’s chilling to watch him be so brutal so casually.

From Reddtior u/Next-Firefighter-753:

It was an emotional scene watching the freaks we got to know and love all get blown away like that. Needless to say, I loved it for the shock factor, and him just nonchalantly whistling while doing it made it that much more chilling.

From Redditor u/Moonkitten09:

Addiction Demon introduction; I remember my concerns regarding "kids" who were likely watching it for the first time because of Lady Gaga star power perhaps - that was in my mind at the time, all personal things considered.

I was very disturbed by it. Kinda stopped there because I had other things to tend to in my life and only watched Hotel a few years later.

From Redditor u/ExcitementVarious646:

The scene where Hypodermic Sally was sewn to those dead people 🤢.

From a former Redditor:

For me it’s probably when Sally was giving her backstory and she sewed herself to her friends [who would eventually OD]. It was both beautifully and tragically written and at the same time the perfect amount of gory horror.

From a former Redditor:

Sally sewing herself to those two people only for them to die of [an] overdose. Then she was sewn to their dead bodies for days while getting [attacked] by the Addiction Demon until she tore herself free.
