TV’S TRICKS AND TREATS

Ryan Murphy convinced Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates and Angela Bassett to take a very long walk on the Gothic wild side for several seasons of “American Horror Story,” and in the process revived their careers. Now he has trained his campy eye on a younger generation of gamines for “Scream Queens,” a smart sendup of sororities. The new Fox comedy-drama features a starry cast of young women. In the lead, “AHS” star Emma Roberts plays Chanel Oberlin, the incredibly condescending president of Kappa Kappa Tau, the mean-girls club. As her minions, referred to as “the Chanels,” Murphy has rounded up Oscar-nominee Abigail Breslin, Lea Michele of “Glee” and scene-stealer Skyler Samuels, another “AHS” veteran. Presiding over them all with regal disdain is none other than Jamie Lee Curtis as the college dean Cathy Munsch, who is determined to end the sorority’s days — and vicious nights. Premiere: Sept. 22, 8 p.m., Fox
