No one knows how to terrify us quite like Ryan Murphy, which is a big part of what makes his American Horror Story Halloween episodes a nightmare experience of epic proportions. And, I mean that in the best way possible, of course. After all, I wouldn't be watching a show with the word "horror" in the title if I didn't want to be absolutely frightened out of my mind, which is why Halloween is one of my favorite holidays of the year. And, these spooky festivities just wouldn't be completely without a good AHS Halloween episode to help jumpstart the ghoulish shenanigans that usually ensue around All Hallows Eve.
So, in keeping with that way of thinking, I've decided to create a little game that will test your AHS knowledge of Halloween episodes' past and present. (I know AHS: Hotel hasn't had theirs yet, but that only adds an extra level of intrigue to things.) So, what exactly do you have to do? Using only the emoji clues that I provide for you below, see if you can match the description to the correct AHS season, proving once and for all that your killer knowledge of this anthology series is unlike any other.
An answer key is provided below, but be forewarned that Mr. March does not tolerate cheaters. So, what'll it be, folks — Murder House, Asylum, Coven, Freak Show, or Hotel? Now is the time to show off what a diehard fan you truly are.
