“American Horror Story”: Perfect show to get October off to a scary start

Although children are usually the ones who most celebrate Halloween, adults enjoy a good scare sometimes as well.

If you’re one of those adults, FX has the show for you this October.

“American Horror Story” stars Connie Britton (“Friday Night Lights”) and Dylan McDermott (“The Practice”) as Vivien and Ben Harmon, a married couple, who, along with their teenage daughter Violet (Taissa Farmiga), move to Los Angeles from Boston to make a new start as a family after undergoing some difficulties.

The house they move into has a dark past of its own, and there’s an eerie neighbor, Constance, played by movie star Jessica Lange in her first-ever regular series television role.

Constance has a daughter with Down syndrome, Adelaide (Jamie Brewer), who has a habit of showing up uninvited in the Harmon’s home.
