Now that we’ve said good-bye to Freak Show, let’s look at how the characters stack up to those from Murder House, Coven, and Asylum. Warning: SPOILERS AHEAD!

We've now closed the fourth chapter of American Horror Story, FX's dark and twisted anthology series that's brought viewers from a modern, murderous Los Angeles home, to a 1960s mental institution, to a centuries-old school of witchcraft, and (most recently) to a 1950s big top tent freak show.

In honor of another season gone by, we looked back at the actors who have become part of the unofficial Ryan Murphy repertory group, and ranked their performances over the course of American Horror Story. In order to be eligible for this list, each actor had to appear in at least three episodes of at least two seasons (and because Naomi Grossman played Pepper in both Asylum and Freak Show, we decided it was too difficult to compare).

Read on to find out which performances for each actor reign supreme.

4. Elsa Mars, Freak Show

The first few episodes of the fourth and most recent season of AHS had Lange singing past and current hits alike, channeling a much-beloved scene from Asylum. But the musical moments faded and so did Elsa's spark as the freak/freak collector with dreams of the spotlight. There's nothing more to say, because that was pretty much her only storyline for 13 episodes. —Jaimie Etkin

3. Fiona Goode, Coven

Fiona Goode gave Lange the chance to serve her delicious bad bitch schtick and it was utterly delightful to watch. Her one-liners — which referenced Ed Hardy and Knotty Pine, to name a couple — were some of the season's most GIFable, and her ability to cut a bitch with both her words and actual knives was incomparable. Fiona will forever be the Queen of Shade, if not the actual Supreme. —J.E.
