American Horror Story (2011)
Ryan Murphy (of Glee fame) doing horror... I know I know what is the punch line? The punch line is, it is actually interesting!!

Where to start...
There are alot of inspiration taken from other movies/TV series... (it is like when you watch Glee and they do a mashed up song)
Namely, Insidious (atmospheric sound and music), The Shining, Red Rose etc...
Some surprising casting Jessica Lange and Dylan McDermott comes to mind.
You'll see Dylan McDermott as you have NEVER seen Dylan McDermott before!!

All the characters in here have their own quirks and that adds to the "creepiness" to the TV series....
I do want to make two predictions at this point in time

I believe that Vivien Harmon killed her husband's lover
Additionally, some of the live characters we seen in this episode might turn out NOT so lively after all... (French maid anyone??)

After all the hype, I was expecting more.
There is enough here to get me back for episode two
