American Horror Story: Freak Show Trailer: A Look Behind the Curtain

During last night’s episode of The Strain, FX aired the first extended trailer for American Horror Story: Freak Show, the fourth incarnation of the Emmy-winning anthology series.

Set in Jupiter, Florida, American Horror Story: Freak Show follows the exploits of a traveling circus that blows into town just as a dark entity sets itself upon the sleepy hamlet. The lives of the performers, the residents of the town, and those who choose to attend the circus are all in danger, with Freak Show to chronicle the struggle between good and evil and the ways that those who manage to survive escape the clutches of this other worldly force.

American Horror Story: Freak Show stars three-time Emmy winner Jessica Lange, three-time Emmy nominee Sarah Paulson, two-time Emmy winner Kathy Bates, two-time Emmy nominee Angela Bassett, six-time Emmy nominee Frances Conroy, Emmy winner Michael Chiklis, and Emmy nominee Denis O’Hare.

American Horror Story: Freak Show is set to premiere Wednesday, October 8th at 10:00 on FX.

Will you be watching American Horror Story: Freak Show? Does the trailer give you more of an idea of what to expect from the season than the initial teasers? How do you think Freak Show will compare to Murder House, Asylum, and Coven?
