** [[HollywoodSatanism Richard Ramirez]], also known as the [[SerialKiller Night Stalker]], is Satan's own bloodthirsty PsychoForHire. A violent Satanist wreaking havoc around Los Angeles, Ramirez nearly decapitated a woman and disemboweled a rude aerobics student to earn the heart of his teacher, Montana Duke, promising to kill Brooke Thompson for her. Following Brooke to Camp Redwood, Ramirez makes the sympathetic Benjamin Richter sell his soul to Satan to recruit him as an unwilling partner-in-crime, going back to Los Angeles and killing dozens of random innocents with no signs of stopping while Benjamin had to watch everything. After Benjamin finally exposes Ramirez and gets him arrested, Ramirez tries to [[TheCorrupter corrupt]] Brooke in prison before escaping to get his revenge. Finding Benjamin's family in Alaska, Ramirez murders his wife and challenges Benjamin to return to Camp Redwood once more for the safety of his baby son, Bobby; at Camp Redwood, Ramirez slaughters the members of Kajagoogoo shortly after his arrival. Happy to assist Margaret Booth in her plans and serving as a "major inspiration" to another serial killer, Ramirez teams up with him to participate in a massacre, and when that fails, Ramirez tries to return to Alaska [[WouldHurtAChild just to kill Bobby]] as his own twisted idea of a "final revenge".

* {{Satan}} himself is the GreaterScopeVillain of the ''American Horror Story'' universe. As the orchestrator of several tragic events throughout the anthology, Satan directly assisted the perpetrator of the Night Stalkers murders that started in [[Series/AmericanHorrorStory1984 1984]], Richard Ramirez, granting him immortality and breaking him out of San Quentin State Prison to take more lives. Arriving at [[Series/AmericanHorrorStoryAsylum Briarcliff Asylum]] through Jed Potter, Satan possesses the young and innocent Sister Mary Eunice, driving her to lewd behavior and trapping her in perpetual agony. Inside Mary's body, Satan personally murders people; helps a Nazi war criminal with his unethical experiments on inmates; inspires a budding psychopath who proceeded to kill her entire family; and unleashes a mass murderer on Sister Jude. When Jude is stripped of her position, Satan tortures her to the point where her reflexes are severely impaired and later rapes Monsignor Timothy Howard solely to debase him and mock his vows of celibacy, intending on rising to the top of the Catholic Church and destroy it from the inside. Using the ghost of Tate Langdon as a conduit at the [[Series/AmericanHorrorStoryMurderHouse Murder House]] to give birth to TheAntichrist via rape, Satan watches from behind the scenes as his son kickstarts the [[Series/AmericanHorrorStoryApocalypse Apocalypse]] in his name with a nuclear holocaust.

As Dr. Thredson, he is tasked with evaluating a man accused of the Bloody Face murders, which he takes advantage of by convincing the man to confess. Tricking protagonist Lana Winters into trusting him, Bloody Face lures her from the insane asylum to his house, where he reveals that he has murdered her girlfriend and kept the corpse on ice. Tormenting Lana, Bloody Face tries to get her to become intimate with the corpse and then [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rapes her]] when she tries to flee.

When the twins become interested in Chester, Dandy researches Chester's background and learns that he has a history of mental illness. He uses this information to manipulate Chester into complete insanity, reducing the man to a wailing, delusional wreck. Finally, after buying the freak show, Dandy treats his new employees horribly, and causes them to walk out on their contracts. In response to this, he strolls calmly around their campground shooting them dead as he sees them.

He has also served as an EvilMentor to some of [[HistoricalRapSheet history's most prolific serial killers]], and is responsible for corrupting John Lowe into becoming the Ten Commandments Killer.

''[[AC:[[Series/AmericanHorrorStory1984 1984]]]]'': Both members of the BigBadDuumvirate are equally nasty:
* [[ManipulativeBitch Margaret Booth]] is a deranged camp counselor who gradually evolved into a SerialKiller. Upset over the various counselors who bullied her at Camp Redwood, Margaret tried to persuade Benjamin Richter into murdering them for her. When he refused, she killed them all herself and [[FrameUp framed Benjamin for all the murders]], which led to him being tortured inside of a mental institution for fourteen years. After Benjamin escapes and goes on a killing spree as Mr. Jingles, Margaret decides to murder the new employees at Camp Redwood so she can pin the blame on him again. When this fails, she frames Brooke Thompson instead, resulting in the latter spending five years in prison and seemingly being publicly executed. When Margaret becomes wealthy exploiting various massacre locations as tourist attractions, she decides to do the same for Camp Redwood by holding a musical festival there. After the members of Kajagoogoo are killed, and Margaret runs into Richard Ramirez and another serial killer inspired by Ramirez's murders, Margaret sanctions them to slaughter dozens of musicians and civilians at the festival just to [[FameThroughInfamy thrive off the camp's subsequent infamy]].

As an adult, he has become bored with his lavish lifestyle.

-->--'''Stanley''', to his accomplice '''Maggie''', ''[[Series/AmericanHorrorStoryFreakShow Freak Show]]'', "[[Recap/AmericanHorrorStoryS04E06Bullseye Bullseye]]"

While ''Series/AmericanHorrorStory'' is an incredibly dark anthology series filled with rapists, psychopaths, and murderers, there are still some characters who manage to go above and beyond the rest. These are the [[CompleteMonster most vile, disgusting villains]] that this already twisted series has to offer:

----
[[AC: ''[[Series/AmericanHorrorStoryAsylum Asylum]]'']]
* TheDevil itself is called up in a failed exorcism and possesses an innocent young nun, driving her to uninhibited and lewd behavior as a start. The Devil begins murdering other inmates and sowing the seeds of chaos around the Briarcliff Asylum, solely ForTheEvulz. When it learns that the resident doctor is really a Nazi war criminal escapee, it's actually excited and murders a concentration camp survivor who might expose him. The Devil later confronts the Monsignor about his rather un-priestly ambition and to top it off, rapes him solely to debase him and mock his vows of celibacy.
* [[spoiler:Dr. Oliver Thredson]] initially appears to be the sole reasonable person at Briarcliff. However, it is later revealed that he is in fact the original Bloody Face, a SerialKiller who preys on women. An [[PsychopathicManchild emotionally immature psychopath]] with ParentalAbandonment issues, he kidnaps women with skin he believes feels like that of a mother's. Those whose skin he judges to be inadequate get skinned and beheaded, and their skin is used to make [[GenuineHumanHide furniture]] or [[MalevolentMaskedMen masks]]. Tasked with evaluating the sanity of Kit Walker, the man accused of committing the Bloody Face murders, he persuades Kit into admitting to the killings and records him in order to brand him as the perpetrator. Gaining the trust of [[TheProtagonist Lana Winters]], he lures her to his home after helping her escape Briarcliff. Revealing to her that he has killed her girlfriend and kept her corpse on ice, he encourages her to [[ILoveTheDead sexually experiment with the body]] to "help" with her [[CureYourGays conversion therapy]]. He intends for Lana to become a replacement mother figure to him, but rapes and tries to kill her when she attempts to escape. This results in her getting pregnant. While he appears disgusted at the possibility of his child being aborted or going into the foster system, he later shows exactly how much he cares about the child when he makes another attempt to kill Lana when she threatens to expose him, smugly gloating that he'll avoid prison with the insanity defense. Depraved, psychotic, and perverted, there were no lows that this deviant wouldn't sink to fulfill his twisted desires.

''[[AC:[[Series/AmericanHorrorStoryFreakShow Freak Show]]]]'': Both halves of the BigBadEnsemble are equally nasty:
* [[PsychopathicManchild Dandy Mott]] is a [[SpoiledBrat spoiled heir]] who exhibited signs of sociopathy even in childhood, and is heavily implied to have caused another boy's disappearance.

* [[SmugSnake Stanley]] wants to kill the freaks just so [[{{Greed}} he can make money]] off selling their bodies to a museum. Posing as a talent scout to lure Maggie into becoming his apprentice, Stanley attempts to manipulate her into killing Jimmy for him, admitting he would kill her too if her body could be sold. Constantly dreaming of killing the freaks and the money he will make off the freaks' bodies, Stanley tries to poison Bette and Dot with cupcakes, and when he sees Dell at a gay bar, blackmails Dell into killing Ma Petite for him, taunting him about the guilt he feels. When Jimmy gets arrested, Stanley convinces Jimmy to let him saw off one of his deformed hands and sell it to get Jimmy a lawyer, only for Stanley to cut off both his hands and keep all the money from selling them to himself, leaving Jimmy imprisoned. When Maggie tells the freaks of Stanley's intention, the latter, greedy and self-serving to the end, cowardly tries to save his own life, outing Elsa as Ethel's murderer to try and redirect their hatred.

[[AC: ''[[Series/AmericanHorrorStoryHotel Hotel]]'']]
* [[ManipulativeBastard James Patrick March]], the [[DeadAllAlong deceased]] first owner of the Hotel Cortez, is a [[ManOfWealthAndTaste wealthy]] SerialKiller who murdered countless people in life and continues to do so as a ghost.

[[AC: ''[[Series/AmericanHorrorStoryFreakShow Freak Show]]'']]
* [[PsychopathicManchild Dandy Mott]] is a [[SpoiledBrat spoiled heir]] who [[TheSociopath exhibited signs of sociopathy]] even in [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior childhood]], and is heavily implied to have caused another boy's disappearance. As an adult, he has become [[RichBoredom bored with his lavish lifestyle]]. This is alleviated when he meets [[MonsterClown Twisty]], a SerialKiller who has kidnapped several young children, whom Dandy is shown [[MindRape gleefully tormenting psychologically]].[[note]]This becomes even worse in hindsight, because while Twisty is later revealed to be an ObliviouslyEvil KindheartedSimpleton, Dandy is fully aware of the trauma he's inflicting and [[{{Sadist}} enjoys every minute of it]].[[/note]] Dandy later becomes a killer himself, after being introduced to "the sweet language of murder."

* [[TheSociopath Stanley]] is a {{smug|snake}}, {{greed}}y [[ConMan con artist]] who wants to kill the freaks and sell their bodies to the [[MuseumOfTheStrangeAndUnusual Museum of Morbid Curiosities]]. Taking advantage of Elsa's dreams of stardom, Stanley gains access to the show by posing as a Hollywood talent scout under the name "Richard Spencer." He pressures his accomplice, [[GuiltRiddenAccomplice Maggie]], to kill Jimmy for him, and admits to her that if her dead body were worth anything, he'd kill her himself and send her to the museum. He spends much of his time at the freak show daydreaming about killing the freaks, and tries to kill Bette and Dot by offering them poisoned cupcakes. When he sees Dell in a gay bar, he [[{{Blackmail}} uses this knowledge against Dell]] to make him [[KillTheCutie kill Ma Petite]]. Dell is clearly wracked with guilt, and Stanley [[{{troll}} seems to enjoy taunting him about it]]. When Dandy [[FrameUp frames Jimmy]] for his own crimes and has him sent to jail, Stanley persuades Jimmy to let him saw off one of his deformed hands so that he can sell it and get a lawyer for him. Stanley instead saws both of Jimmy's hands off and keeps the money for himself, with the intention of leaving Jimmy to rot in jail. After Maggie has finally had enough of working for Stanley and sells him out to the freaks, they surround him. In a panic, he tells them that Elsa murdered Ethel and he assisted in covering it up. He does this not due to any sense of morality, but in a last-ditch effort to save his own skin by trying to get the freaks to exact their revenge on her rather than him.

* The SerialKiller Bloody Face, AKA [[spoiler: Dr. Thredson]], is a killer of women who takes their skin and teeth and later frames an innocent man for his crimes. After killing the lesbian lover of the heroine Lana, Bloody Face keeps the corpse on ice to "help" with Lana's therapy, luring her into his home so he can hold her hostage and rapes her multiple times before trying to kill her. After her escape, she ends back in Briarcliff where he attempts to assert his hold over her again and eliminate her there. When he learns she's pregnant, he seems to relent, but when threatened he decides to murder her again without a trace of remorse and gloats to her before the attempt how he'll never see a day in prison with the insanity defense.

* [[BigBad Dandy Mott]] is a [[SpoiledBrat spoiled heir]] who takes the PsychopathicManchild trope UpToEleven. He [[TheSociopath exhibited signs of sociopathy]] even in [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior childhood]], and is heavily implied to have caused another boy's disappearance. As an adult, he has become [[RichBoredom bored with his lavish lifestyle]]. This is alleviated when he meets [[MonsterClown Twisty]], a SerialKiller who has kidnapped several young children, whom Dandy is shown [[MindRape gleefully tormenting psychologically]].[[note]]This becomes even worse in hindsight, because while Twisty is later revealed to be an ObliviouslyEvil KindheartedSimpleton, Dandy is fully aware of the trauma he's inflicting and [[{{Sadist}} enjoys every minute of it]].[[/note]] Dandy later becomes a killer himself, after being introduced to "the sweet language of murder."

Though he presents himself as a cultured aristocrat, Dandy is ultimately just an overgrown child who never quite grew out of [[ItsAllAboutMe the mentality that everyone and everything exists solely to entertain him and bend to his will]].

* [[SerialKiller Leigh Emerson]] is perhaps the most vicious inmate at Briarcliff. Originally put in prison as a young man for stealing a loaf of bread, [[HadToComeToPrisonToBeACrook Emerson was raped by several inmates, which twisted him into a maniac]]. He later murders several families on Christmas, [[WouldHurtAChild children included]], while [[BadSanta dressed as Santa Claus]]. As an inmate at Briarcliff, he attacks an orderly during a Christmas photoshoot, which results in a year-long stay in solitary confinement for him as well as a banning of further Christmas celebrations. When the Devil frees him from this solitary confinement, he is eager to resume his killing spree and his first act is to attack Sister Jude with beating canes and attempt to rape her. Though she manages to non-fatally stab him, he still successfully pins the blame on her. Claiming to want redemption, he convinces Monsignor Howard to baptize him. Afterward, he dunks Howard's head in the tank in an attempt to drown him and nails him to a cross in place of Jesus before escaping from Briarcliff and murdering at least seven nuns.

-->--'''Dandy Mott''', ''[[Series/AmericanHorrorStoryFreakShow Freak Show]]'', "Blood Bath"

* [[PsychopathicManchild Dandy Mott]] is a wealthy young man and a self-styled "bringer of death." [[SpoiledBrat Ridiculously spoiled]] by his socialite mother, Dandy exhibited signs of [[TheSociopath sociopathy]] [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior even in childhood]]. He is heavily implied to have caused the disappearance of another boy. In adulthood, he has become [[RichBoredom bored with his lavish lifestyle]]. This is alleviated when he makes friends with Twisty, a [[SerialKiller murderous]] MonsterClown. Dandy delights in torturing the children Twisty has captured, and attempts to stab them with a knife. After Twisty is killed on Halloween, an inspired Dandy begins a killing spree of his own. One of his victims is [[{{matricide}} his own mother]], whom he coldly [[BoomHeadshot shoots in the head]]. He then [[BloodBath bathes in her blood]], [[DeadGuyPuppet turns her corpse into a giant marionette]], then stitches the head of a random Avon lady he killed to her shoulders as a twisted reference to the Tattler twins. When his childhood friend goes to the police about the disappearance of her mother ([[SlashedThroat whose throat Dandy slashed]]), he pays [[DirtyCop the police officer]] to murder her and work for him. Using his newfound connections, [[FrameUp Dandy frames Jimmy for a bunch of murders he committed]] and has him sent to jail. After he buys the freak show from Elsa, the freaks walk out on their contracts when he mistreats them. He responds to this by [[TranquilFury calmly strolling around their campgrounds]] [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge and shooting them dead as he sees them]]. While he claims to be in love with Bette and Dot, the way he acts makes it apparent that the "love" he feels for them is more along the lines of how a child "loves" a toy, rather than any genuine affection. Despite his assertions that he identifies with the freaks, [[{{Hypocrite}} he talks down to them, and uses the word "freak" as an insult]] when they annoy him. Psychopathic to the core, Dandy is nothing more than a five-year-old child in an adult man's body, who never quite grew out of the mentality that [[ItsAllAboutMe everyone and everything exists solely to entertain him and bend to his will]].

He is heavily implied to have caused the disappearance of another boy. In adulthood, he has become [[RichBoredom bored with his lavish lifestyle]]. This is alleviated when he makes friends with Twisty, a [[SerialKiller murderous]] MonsterClown. Dandy delights in torturing the children Twisty has captured, and attempts to stab them with a knife. After Twisty is killed on Halloween, an inspired Dandy begins a killing spree of his own. One of his victims is [[{{matricide}} his own mother]], whom he coldly [[BoomHeadshot shoots in the head]]. He then [[BloodBath bathes in her blood]], [[DeadGuyPuppet turns her corpse into a giant marionette]], then stitches the head of a random Avon lady he killed to her shoulders as a twisted reference to the Tattler twins. When his childhood friend goes to the police about the disappearance of her mother ([[SlashedThroat whose throat Dandy slashed]]), he pays the police officer to murder her and work for him. After he buys the freak show from Elsa, the freaks walk out on their contracts when he mistreats them. He responds to this by [[TranquilFury calmly strolling around their campgrounds]] [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge and shooting them dead as he sees them]]. While he claims to be in love with Bette and Dot, the way he acts makes it apparent that the "love" he feels for them is more along the lines of how a child "loves" a toy, rather than any genuine affection. Despite his assertions that he identifies with the freaks, [[{{Hypocrite}} he talks down to them, and uses the word "freak" as an insult]] when they annoy him. Psychopathic to the core, Dandy is nothing more than a five-year-old child in an adult man's body, who never quite grew out of the mentality that [[ItsAllAboutMe everyone and everything exists solely to entertain him and bend to his will]].

* [[TheSociopath Stanley]] is a {{smug|snake}}, {{greed}}y ConMan who wants to kill the freaks and sell their bodies to the [[MuseumOfTheStrangeAndUnusual Museum of Morbid Curiosities]]. Taking advantage of Elsa's dreams of stardom, Stanley gains access to the show by posing as a Hollywood talent scout under the name "Richard Spencer." He pressures his accomplice, [[GuiltRiddenAccomplice Maggie]], to kill Jimmy for him, and admits to her that if her dead body were worth anything, he'd kill her himself and send her to the museum. He spends much of his time at the freak show daydreaming about killing the freaks, and tries to kill Bette and Dot by offering them poisoned cupcakes. When he sees Dell in a gay bar, he [[{{Blackmail}} uses this knowledge against Dell]] to make him [[KillTheCutie kill Ma Petite]]. Dell is clearly wracked with guilt, and Stanley [[{{troll}} seems to enjoy taunting him about it]]. When Dandy [[FrameUp frames Jimmy]] for his own crimes and has him sent to jail, Stanley persuades Jimmy to let him saw off one of his deformed hands so that he can sell it and get a lawyer for him. Stanley instead saws both of Jimmy's hands off and keeps the money for himself, with the intention of leaving Jimmy to rot in jail. After Maggie has finally had enough of working for Stanley and sells him out to the freaks, they surround him. In a panic, he tells them that Elsa murdered Ethel and he assisted in covering it up. He does this not due to any sense of morality, but in a last-ditch effort to save his own skin.
