Co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk invoke the opposite emotion of their mega-hit Glee with their new project American Horror Story, which airs on FX on Wednesday nights. They recruit Mrs. Coach, er, Connie Britton (Friday Night Lights) and Dylan McDermott (The Practice) to play Vivien and Ben Harmon, a couple troubled by a miscarriage and a scandalous affair. They relocate to Los Angeles, where they take residence in a haunted house and become embroiled in the mysteries surrounding the property. Six Feet Under's Frances Conroy greets them when they arrive--filling the role of ghoulish housekeeper--a harbinger of death for the characters, but an omen of good things to come for an audience who craves well-made television. Jessica Lange makes her first mainstay TV appearance as the creepy Constance.

The title sequence is inventive and unsettling, setting an eerie tone for the series that is upheld by the shudder-inducing score. The only comfort is Tami Taylor's, er, Britton's soothing voice. The show is structured in a way that employs fragmentation to yield a dizzying and delirious sensation. The use of strobe lights and quick shutter effects are terrifying because they remind us that, as an audience, we aren't in control.

The most artistically successful aspect of the series is the parallels it draws between the mundane horrors of American life and the thrilling ghostly horrors that characterize its genre--a thematic knockout and a rare feat for a show's first time in the ring. The horrors of daily life it illustrates are McDermott's interactions as a psychiatrist with troubled youth, his daughter's navigation of high school's murky waters, and his dissolving marriage.

For those that don't scare easily, the pilot doesn't necessarily succeed in the fright department. Perhaps Murphy, Falchuk and company are holding off on the real horror until they reel in an audience. They wouldn't want to scare viewers away, after all. We're also waiting impatiently for the arrival of recently outed Zachary Quinto (Heroes), who will undoubtedly bring his sinister Sylar sneer to the table. For now, American Horror Story offers up a houseful of compelling mysteries, weird sex, and disturbing imagery galore. Just in time for Halloween, this is one story we want to hear.
