Snapshot: "American Horror Story" (TV Series)

By Carly on October 07th, 2011

A new haunted house drama premiered Wednesday night on FX that was created and produced by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, the creators of "Glee". The series centers around the Harmon family, who move from Boston to Los Angeles after Ben (Dylan McDermott) has an affair. They get a great deal on an old mansion, finding out once they buy the home that the previous owners were involved in a murder suicide and that the house is haunted. I'm assuming this is where all that weird fetish imagery that they've been promoting in the trailers happens? Jessica Lange also stars in her first regular television role as Constance, the Harmon family's neighbor. I haven't yet watched it but am looking forward to sitting down and playing catch up with my DVR this weekend and "American Horror Story" is on my list. Has anyone watched it yet? Thoughts?
