Door prize

If "American Horror Story" is getting too wacko for you, try "Channel Zero," a solid anthology series that proves you don't need big stars and kinky twists to produce goose bumps. The fourth season, titled "The Dream Door," follows a young couple whose secrets are exposed after their basement suddenly leads into a den of trouble.

The witching hour

"The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" owes more to "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" than the original sitcom "Sabrina the Teenage Witch."

Busy body

"The Alec Baldwin Show" is a reminder that actors usually make terrible talk-show hosts, in large part because they have a hard time keeping their mouths shut and letting their guests shine. Still, I'm rooting for Busy Philipps as she launches "Busy Tonight." The actress, best known for stealing scenes on "Cougar Town" and accompanying Michelle Williams to movie premieres, promises lots of "fun dirt."
