FX’s AMERICAN HORROR STORY held up quite well in its second airing last night with a 1.4 in 18-49s, dropping only about 15% from its premiere (even though it faced new competition from the return of USA’s PSYCH, which did a 1.0).

That’s may not be Walking Dead level success (the zombies did 2.4 in their second episode, and eventually got to a 3 for the season finale), but it probably means plenty more hours to come of crazily illogical, movie-referencing violence and general creepiness.  Can’t wait for the crossover with Glee!
