The season is mainly set in 1952 Jupiter, Florida. It tells the story of one of the last remaining freak shows in the US and their struggle for survival.
I chose American Horror Story because I've watched it from the beginning and I believe it is a real modern day Gothic horror.

Audience Demographic
According to the press release, the Freak Show premiere “Monsters Among Us” brought in over ten million viewers total, with 6.54 falling into the 18-49 demographic.
These are new horror watchers as well as the audiences that have grown up with horror and aren't willing to let it go yet.
The shows audience is such a wide demographic because it offers something to everyone.
For the younger audience there are the love stories such as that between Jimmy Darling and Maddison Montgomery. for the older audiences there are the references to urban myths and actual freak show characters that they may have heard of before.
