After a sophomore slump capable of causing howls of fright, FX's new drama "American Horror Story" has rebounded, recapturing nearly all of its viewership in the coveted adults 18-49 demographic from the Oct. 5 series premiere.

Wednesday's episode pulled in nearly 2 million viewers in the demo, nearly matching the performance of the series premiere.

That's a 12 percent improvement over last week's performance in the demo, which was seen by 1.8 million viewers.
