The American Horror Story episode most hated by fans (and the most popular)
By Sandy C.
AHS fans are loving Double Feature so far, from the performances, new actors (Macaulay Culkin is a new favorite) and the story, it may be one of the best seasons yet. But they haven’t all been great. Do you know which American Horror Story episode is the most hated by fans?
GreatBeanBags did the work so you wouldn’t have to! The source analyzed the IMDb fan ratings of all American Horror Story episodes so far (not including the current season) and what they have found is interesting.
I say interesting, but, truly, you’ll see that the results aren’t all that surprising. When you think of which AHS season is the most hated, the answer may quickly come to mind, it’s AHS: Cult, isn’t it?
That season was just…not what we wanted during that time. Many were searching for a distraction to the real-life horrors happening, not more of it.
So how do the ratings work to determine the most “hated” episode? GreatBeanBags shares that, on average, each episode gets a rating of 8/10, anything with a 6/10 is not great.
What is the worst episode of American Horror Story according to fans?
The source shares the bottom three rated episodes:
No. 3 American Horror Story: Cult, episode 1, “Election Night”
That’s right, at No. 3, we have the premiere episode of Cult, titled, “Election Night.” It has an IMDb rating of 6.5/10 with reviews calling it “lousy” and “horrendous,” yikes!
No. 2 American Horror Story: Roanoke, episode 10, “Chapter 10”
This episode has an IMDb rating of 6.4/10 and the reviews call it “boring” and name it the “worst finale of the entire series,” now that is bold.
No. 1 American Horror Story: Cult, episode 7, “Valerie Solanas Died for Your Sins: Scumbag”
Finally, it’s no surprise that another AHS: Cult episode lands in the bottom three. That’s two out of three so it’s safe to say it’s the least popular season. This episode has an IMDb rating of 6/10 and, ready for the harsh comments? Reviews call it “Hot garbage. Atrocious” and “Pointless, preachy, gender-baiting crap.”
What is the most popular American Horror Story episode?
We can’t leave without sharing which episode is the highest rated by fans we have to leave you on a good note! Can you guess it?
When you ask a fan which season is their favorite, they’ll likely say Coven, Asylum, or Murder House. It’s almost always one of these three. But, surprisingly, the top rated episode is from Apocalypse.
The top rated episode is American Horror Story: Apocalypse episode 6, “Return to Murder House.”
“Return to Murder House” has an IMDb rating of 9.3/10 and over 5k reviews. This episode sees the long awaited return of Jessica Lange as her Murder House character Constance Langdon, so you know fans were not about to miss this one! And, as you can see, it was a hit!
