Tonight at 10pm EST, the newest season of 'American Horror Story: 1984' is airing on FX. In honor of its premier, I thought now would be a perfect time to spark up the age old debate of which seasons are the best. When you ask someone what their top three favorite seasons are, you'll probably get a range of answers, but "Coven," "Asylum," or "Murder House" are most likely in the ranking.

Here are all 8 seasons of 'American Horror Story' ranked from best to worst based on plot, cast, and execution (in my opinion):

1. 'Coven'

Giphy

One word: witches.

The plot. The cast. The entirety of this season was god tier.

Literally all of the fan favorite actors starred in 'Coven', which makes it even more legendary. Taissa Farmiga, Emma Roberts, Evan Peters, Lily Rabe, Sarah Paulson, Jessica Lange, Angela Bassett, the list goes on. Even Stevie Nicks made a guest appearance, so that was pretty epic.

Let's not forget Madison Montgomery's iconic line: "Surprise, bitch!"

2. 'Asylum'

Giphy

Asylum has to be one of the most intense seasons, and it actually was kinda scary, unlike Coven, which was more of a comedic relief.

Sarah Paulson, Jessica Lange, and Lily Rabe's acting were phenomenal, and the story-line itself was absolutely insane (pun somewhat intended).

3. 'Murder House'

Giphy

For it being the very first season of the show, it is one of the best. 'Murder House' will always be in my top three, and sometimes I like it better over 'Asylum' simply because of Tate and Violet's stories.

The world was only at peace when everyone wore "Normal People Scare Me" t-shirts to school in 2013.

4. 'Freak Show'

Giphy

I've heard mixed reviews about 'Freak Show', but I was a fan of it. The biggest attention grabber was definitely Twisty, though. Gotta love a killer clown!

Also......Evan Peters. That man is *chefs kiss.*

5. 'Apocalypse'

Giphy

This season got sooooo much hype because it was the crossover between 'Murder House' and 'Coven', but it wasn't as good as everyone expected it to be. I mean yeah, seeing the witches and the ghosts was cool, but the plot really dragged. It wasn't terrible, but it could have been better.

6. 'Roanoke'

I think this season was definitely the scariest, but it was also really confusing because it switched between different timelines and was divided into two parts, documentary style. It could have been executed better, but it did a good job of putting the "horror" in 'American Horror Story.'

7. 'Cult'

'Cult' premiered in 2016 following the highly controversial Presidential election and the inauguration of Donald Trump, so you can only guess what this season is about.

This season had a whole new layer of horror because it incorporated the divide of our nation due to our hostile political climate with a Charles Manson approach. However, there was so much going on and it was pretty messy.

Entertaining, but didn't even make the top 5 cut. The only good part about it was Evan Peter's fantastic acting.

8. 'Hotel'

Giphy

I'm sorry Lady Gaga, but 'Hotel' was by far the worst season of 'AHS.' It was boring, confusing, and not really that entertaining. I could not follow what was going on half the time.

Hopefully the new season of 'AHS' will at least make it into my top 5, but to everyone who is planning to watch tonight, have fun and enjoy!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
