Watch the First Five Minutes of American Horror Story: Asylum

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. New American Horror Story promo features lovers, sinners and saints To find out whether Season 2's Briarcliff Manor is scarier than Season 1's Murder House — it seems like it! — watch the first five minutes of the premiere, including the creeptacular new opening credits:
