The brainchild of super-producer Ryan Murphy (Nip/Tuck, Glee, The Normal Heart, Scream Queens), American Horror Story has been a TV juggernaut since it first premiered back in October 2011.

But the star of the show is, of course, Lady Gaga, playing the bloodthirsty, sexually insatiable, coke-binging, couture-donning Countess.
