First Full 'American Horror Story: Freak Show' Trailer Features All the Crazy Characters
by Andy NeuenschwanderAre you ready to see all the freaks?
The first full trailer for "American Horror Story: Freak Show" has hit the Internet, and it reveals all the major players for the upcoming season.
Until now, all of the trailers for "Freak Show" have been in the signature "AHS" style, a set of short vignettes with creepy imagery that doesn't necessarily reflect what will actually be in the show, but rather give an overall feel for the tone. These have been absolutely terrifying this year.
This trailer, however, relies less on scares and more on introducing us to the cast. There's Kathy Bates as the Bearded Lady; Angela Bassett as a woman with three breasts; Michael Chiklis as a strongman; Sarah Paulson as conjoined twins (two Sarah Paulsons!); and Evan Peters, who looks somewhat normal except for a glimpse of his hand.
Lording over all of them, as usual, is Jessica Lange, who will play the role of the freak show's boss lady.
Not pictured are returning stars Denis O'Hare, Gabourey Sidibe, Emma Roberts and Frances Conroy, who will take on roles either in the freak show or in the town in which the traveling show settles.
The new season of "American Horror Story" premieres October 8 at 10pm on FX.
