From Murder House to Delicate, we count the number of appearances so you don't have to
Popverse's top stories of the day
- Hannibal wouldn't be a fan of Chicago's local food scene, according to Mads Mikkelsen (but, then again, he's a cannibal)
- Watch: Artist's Alley Asks: Superman or Fantastic Four? Gene Ha, Cully Hamner, Jarrett Melendez, Rachael Stott, Soo Lee, and Tim Seeley weigh in on their cinematic preference

Horror is a genre for friends. It's fun to see your loved ones scared, but more importantly, there's safety in numbers. That's probably why, across twelve seasons and as many years, the American Horror Story cast keeps coming back together.
If you're familiar with AHS at all, you know that the series regularly brings back actors, no matter how horribly their prevous characters have died. But have you ever stopped to wonder which of these familiar faces you've seen the most? Popverse has, which is why we've thrown together this American Horror Story recurring cast list. We'll be ranking the cast by number of appearances and telling you which seasons that cast member's been in.
Grab a friend and enjoy.
