''666 Park Avenue'' is an ABC horror show starring [[{{Lost}} Terry O'Quinn]], [[UglyBetty Vanessa]] [[DesperateHousewives Williams]], [[GreysAnatomy Rachel Taylor]], [[BrothersAndSisters Dave Annable]] and [[LipstickJungle Robert]] [[OneTreeHill Buckley]] among others.
Based (very loosely) on a book by Gabriella Pierce, the show is about a young couple hired to be the managers of a luxurious NYC apartment complex, called the Drake. Soon enough, Jane (Taylor) starts noticing weird stuff happening and having weird dreams, and starts to wonder whether their employers, the Dorans (O'Quinn and Williams), and especially Gavin, the husband, have something planned for them...
