NEW YORK (AP) — NEW YORK — Just when you needed it, the FX network is throwing "American Horror Story" at you.
To judge from its first two episodes, it's a robust diversion from the real-life droughts and hurricanes, joblessness and political stalemate that were already giving you the willies. It aspires to be "The Shining"-meets-"Rosemary's Baby," with "Carrie" and "Don't Look Now" tossed in. But more than a dead-on horror show, it's a homage to cinematic spookery. And a good one.
In short, "American Horror Story" doesn't really scare you. It just gets in your head.
The big unknown: Is it wily enough to stay there, week after week?
