'American Horror Story'

While the latest seasons aren't up to scratch (too much gratuitous gore), the first couple of seasons are well worth a Halloween watch, particularly “American Horror Story: Asylum,” where the criminally insane are housed. Then there’s "Freak Show." Who doesn't want to see Sarah Paulson with two heads, Kathy Bates with a beard, those delightful pinheads, or, more importantly possibly the most scary clown of all time? As noted by Cinemablend, Twisty the clown makes Pennywise look almost tame.
