3. AHS: MURDER HOUSE

Lange will always have a soft spot for the franchise's first season, which earned her both an Emmy and a Golden Globe — even if she places it in third overall.

4. AHS: COVEN

The show's witch-centric third season may be a fan favorite, but Lange has a slightly different take on Coven. "I was stunned that year to get the Emmy for that part," she says of playing Fiona Goode. "The part was very well-written. I didn't particularly like the whole set-up and season and story we were telling. ... It was not my favorite."

2. AHS: FREAK SHOW

The show's fourth season — in which Lange played Elsa Mars, the owner of a dying freak show — didn't quite crack the top spot, Lange admits it was her "very favorite, just from the experience of doing it." And trust us, we're just as surprised as you are to see this one anywhere near the top.

1. ASYLUM

Despite Freak Show being her favorite "experience," Lange can't deny that Asylum, which found her slipping into the habit of nefarious nun Sister Jude, "was the better season."
