American Horror Story [1] is known for many things, one of which is its ensemble of bold, original characters. Where else but Freak Show would you see a ringmaster like Elsa Mars? Or a tortured soul like Jimmy Darling? Could anyone else besides Ryan Murphy and his writers have dreamed up Twisty the Clown? Or Dandy Mott? It's hard to pick a favorite (especially if yours has died already), but we want to know who you think is the best character this season. Vote below, and let us know if we're missing your favorite!
