\'\'American Horror Story\'\' to \'\'Alfred Hitchcock Presents\'\': Nearly 60 years of chills

Shall we start with the latex suit or the brains buffet? Just like Rubber Man, the cinema-worthy FX series takes no prisoners. Its first season alone featured an ax to the gut, oral sex gone terribly wrong, a Columbine-style school shooting, a Frankenbaby stitched together from the remains of a dismembered infant, and...well... do we really need to go on? Okay, we will!

had a Nazi doctor experimenting on mental patients, another doctor who made lampshades out of human flesh, and a campalicious performance of \'\'The Name Game.\'\'

, near-fatal minotaur sex, a creepily doll-obsessed butler who necromantically \'\'played with\'\' one of Miss Robichaux\'s dead witches, an eyeball highball, and a sax-playing ax-wielding serial killer (what\'s what all the axes)? So far,

has introduced us to what might be the scariest clown ever. That Ryan Murphy sure has a flair for the frightening.
