In truth, even many adults might not be ready for the show's frank depiction of everyday horrors that we'd too often rather forget.

It feels more like the place where old horror movies have come to die.

Amusing to watch, but not particularly scary. "Creepy" seems the better word.

American Horror Story is beginning its run with problems, but enough goes right to give this twisted terror tale the ghost of a chance (several ghosts, in fact).

Engrossing and genuinely scary.

It's a lot to process, and at times too much to take. Still, Horror Story often is a wonder.

This gourmet junk food gives you some pure evil, and it takes some axes to some evildoers, and the American type represented has a predilection for French maids. Bon appetit.
