New 'American Horror Story: Freak Show' Footage Gives First Look at Killer Clown
by Andy NeuenschwanderWe're finally getting our first look at footage from the new season of "American Horror Story" and man, does it look scary.
Out now is the first trailer to feature actual footage from the show, as opposed to the traditional stylized promos that the show usually puts out. As a result, we get a pretty good look at our "Freak Show" characters.
It looks as though the action will largely center around Sarah Paulson's conjoined twins, who are the protagonists of the trailer. It would appear that the twins join the freak show at the beginning of the story, and we're introduced to the supporting cast along with them.
With quips from Kathy Bates' bearded lady, we can tell that there's some pressure for the twins to fill seats at the show. Perhaps the ticket sales are failing under Jessica Lange's rule?
We don't see how that could be possible with her taking the stage and singing, but hey. To each their own.
Then of course there's Evan Peters being angry, yelling, "Don't call us freaks!" Since this is a Ryan Murphy show, you can bet that that's going to be the heart of the show, proving that even though these "freaks" are different, they're still just people.
But there are going to be plenty of scares too, most of them coming from Twisty the serial killer clown, who looks absolutely terrifying in his brief appearance in the trailer.
