Blending Japanese ghost stories with the real-life imprisonment of Japanese Americans in the wake of Pearl Harbor, AMC’s “The Terror: Infamy” promises to be one of the must-watch horror shows of the year, and the cast and creators discuss what viewers can expect from the new season of AMC’s anthology series in a new featurette out of Comic-Con today.
