"American Horror Story" (FX) is a big ol' brooding, baffling, ridiculous and occasionally compelling mess of a show. Never big fans of narrative convention, creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk have rejected the essential rule of horror — the unseen is more terrifying than the revealed — in favor of the same "more is more" theology that fuels their equally defiant "Glee." As a result, early episodes seem less concerned with telling a scary story than pelting the viewer with story lines, vignettes, disturbing imagery, psycho-sexual titillation and the odd moment of high camp.

American Horror Story revolves around the Harmons, a family
of three who moved from Boston to Los Angeles as a means to reconcile past
anguish. The all-star cast features Dylan McDermott as “Ben Harmon,” a
psychiatrist; Connie Britton as “Vivien Harmon,” Ben’s wife; Taissa Farmiga as
“Violet,” the Harmon’s teenage daughter; Jessica Lange in her first-ever
regular series TV role as “Constance,” the Harmon’s neighbor; Evan Peters plays
“Tate Langdon,” one of Ben’s patients; and Denis O’Hare as “Larry Harvey.”
Guest stars for the series include Frances Conroy as the Harmon’s housekeeper;
Alexandra Breckenridge as the Harmon’s housekeeper; and Jamie Brewer as
Constance’s daughter.
