Watch the First Five Minutes of American Horror Story: Asylum

Adam Levine

American Horror Story: Asylum is kicking off like any great horror story should: A couple (Adam Levine and Jenna Dewan) sneak off into the woods to a haunted and condemned asylum to enjoy a little, ahem, private time.

But they may not be alone in Briarcliff Manor, which was formerly run by the Catholic Church. Among those once in charge were Jessica Lange's Sister Jude and Joseph Fiennes' Monsignor Timothy Howard, who had to keep the patients — played by Evan Peters and Sarah Paulson, among others — in line.
