She may have reigned Queen Supreme, but with Lange's time on the show seemingly at an end, let's look at the other shining stars of Ryan Murphy's cavalcade of thrilling thespians. Here are American Horror Story's eight (other) greatest actors.

Home Sweet Home
The ride back to her house was always one she enjoyed. Even though there were very few cars on the highway at this time of day, she always preferred to take the longer scenic route. The winding roads and beautiful foliage mixed with the purple, pink and orange hues the sky had created put her mind at ease. She turned the volume of her music up and sang along to Rihanna's "Same Ol' Mistakes" on repeat as she drove at a steady, comfortable speed.

Ten Literary Vampires You Won't Have Heard Of
Count Dracula, Lestat de Lioncourt, Edward Cullen, Bill Compton. They’re the most famous undead, known from Lost Angeles to Transylvania. The vampires who made it big, if you will. But they aren’t the only blood suckers in town, even if you discount the rest of their supporting casts. The night holds other blood drinkers.

Continuing The Urge To Purge: Do We Need A Fourth Purge Film?
There is no denying that the era of the slasher film, as well as our appetite for torture films, show no signs of slowing down. Across James DeMonaco's Purge series and its three films —The Purge, The Purge: Anarchy and The Purge: Election Year — he has netted a bloodthirsty $279 million. To be totally honest with you, I wasn't a huge fan of The Purge: Election Year, and it appears critics were mixed too - but this isn't to say it wasn't without it's redeeming qualities. Without giving away too much of a spoiler, the ending seemed to pretty much close the book on purging — so will we ever get a fourth film (4urge)? And more importantly, do we even need one? Well here is the argument for why we shouldn't hang up our machetes and repress our blood-lust just yet! Can you survive the night?

The Circus Is In Town: Everything We Know About The 'IT' Remake!
Everyone has their biggest fears, whether it be heights, spiders, or the dark; however, clowns top most people's lists of scary things that go bump in the night. The fear of clowns (coulrophobia) was helped in no small part thanks to Steven King's 1986 novel IT. The novel hit mainstream fear in 1990, as Tim Curry popped on a cherry nose and collared frills to play Pennywise the Dancing Clown - Ronald McDonald's evil cousin! IT was one of those "don't tell your mum we watched it" sleepover films that gave everyone the willies! Ever since we saw poor little Georgie lured to his death behind the bedsheets, we knew IT wasn't your standard slasher film, cementing itself as the original 'evil clown' film. Seven years after studio bosses announced that they would be reviving the 1990 clown killer, IT has finally started shooting. New clown, new kids and a new (new) director - here is everything we know about the remake of IT!

Weirdly Awesome Publicity Stunt Sees Horror Icons At A Baseball Game
I'll open with this, Japan is amazing. I say that without a spec of irony or sarcasm. Sure, they are a little weird sometimes, but that's what makes them amazing. That awesome weirdness shone bright like a diamond during a publicity stunt for the upcoming movie Sadako vs. Kayako (The Ring and The Grudge, respectively) which showcases two iconic, long-haired, creepy ladies going head to head. Toshio's going to be there, too, I guess. So how do you promote a Freddy vs Jason styled movie with two of Japan's most iconic horror characters? Have Sadako throw the ceremonial first pitch to Kayako at a baseball game, of course. Because if there are two things people love, it's creepy dark haired ladies and baseball.
