American Horror Story

Cast: Connie Britton, Denis O'Hare, Dylan McDermott, Evan Peters, James Cromwell, Jessica Lange, Joseph Fiennes, Lily Rabe, Lizzie Brochere, Taissa Farmiga, Zachary Quinto

Synopsis:

American Horror Story is horror anthology series created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. Instead of a singular, concurrent story, each season will contain a different terrifying tale of Americana. The first season of the series follows the Harmon family’s move into a restored mansion in Los Angeles, where it is haunted by all of its former tenants. The second season, entitled “Asylum”, will focus on Briarcliff Manor, a insane asylum where the shadows are more terrifying than its serial killer patients.
