5 Evan Peters' Most Terrifying 'American Horror Story' Villains, Ranked From Least to Most Evil

Evan Peters, along with Sarah Paulson and Emma Roberts, was one of the permanent actors in American Horror Story for a long time – he appeared in almost all seasons.

We decided to look back at the most terrifying and dangerous AHS villains that he played.

5. Jeff Pfister – Season 8 "Apocalypse"

In Season 8, Evan played an evil IT guy. Jeff Pfeister and Mutt Nutter were leading specialists at Kineros Robotics who later became servants of Satan himself after selling their souls for drugs and a decent bank account.

Pfister embodies human hedonism at its darkest. He's not the scariest psychopath, but he's the most relatable one played by Peters.

4. Austin Sommers – Season 10 "Double Feature"

Austin Sommers, a writer from Season 10, is obsessed with career success and will do anything to feel special.

His narcissism reaches alarming proportions when he gets his hands on a magic pill that grants talent. He is a victim of his own inflated ego – in his desire to become great, he forgot about other people.

People like Sommers believe that nothing and no one in the world is more important than themselves. For Sommers, even killing a person is not considered a sin.

3. Tate Langdon – Season 1 "Murder House"

The romantic sadist from the first season broke the hearts of many viewers. His melancholy love of sad songs, striped sweaters, and wounded soul evoked empathy.

However, in his relationships with others, Tate reveals himself to be a classic abuser, incapable of sincere feelings or sacrifice for his loved ones. He is a liar and a manipulator, the perfect killing machine.

2. Kai Anderson – Season 7 "Cult"

In Season 7 Evan Peters played several roles, most of which were real historical figures. For instance, in one episode, he transformed into Charles Manson; in another, he played Andy Warhol.

However, Peters's main character in Cult was Kai Anderson, who strives to become the country's new political and spiritual leader.

Anderson is a classic psychopath with a god complex. His desire to rise above others, assert himself at their expense, and spread his spiritual message to the world knows no bounds.

1. James Patrick March – Season 5 "Hotel"

James Patrick March, the owner and creator of the infamous Hotel Cortez in Los Angeles, designed the building so that no one would ever hear his future victims' screams or find their bodies.

Even after his suicide, March returned to the hotel to continue his evil ways in real life and the afterlife. March also hosts an annual Devil's Night, which brings hundreds of murderers and maniacs back from the dead to attack unsuspecting hotel guests.

Evan Peters's portrayal of this character is the most terrifying of all because his thirst for violence does not subside even after death.
