Since its premiere in 2011, American Horror Story has redefined storytelling on television – while rocking one of the best soundtracks ever to be found on a TV show!

The idea behind this playlist was pretty simple – showcase a sampling of the music used from each season of American Horror Story, which happens to be one of my all time favorite shows. When the first season premiered, it was known simply as American Horror Story and we knew very little of the show’s overall design – it was billed as a “psychosexual thriller” and I distinctly remember trying to wrap my head around what that was. When that first season, later given the subtitle Murder House, wrapped up, fans were left wondering, “Where are they going to go from here?!”
We soon found out that the series was intended to be an anthology and that each season would be a reboot of sorts. And with that yearly reboot, a whole new soundtrack with an entirely new feel came along!
From the unsettling spirit of the Murder House soundtrack to the descent into madness that was Asylum; the witchy vibes from Coven to the calliope from Freak Show (which was also noted for its anachronistic covers) and even the eclectic mix from Hotel, each season’s soundtrack took on a feel as distinct as the seasons themselves.
And they’re all represented here for you to enjoy!
