A new trailer for "American Horror Story: Freak Show" has been released for viewing pleasure, sharing first actual footage from the upcoming installment of the horror series. It shows Sarah Paulson's Bette and Dot Tattler leaving their home and joining the troupe. While one of the twins describes it as "entering the gates of hell," the other half sees her future is "pink and wrapped in silk" since joining the freak show.
There are glimpses of the troupe's performances, but despite their intention to entertain people, the residents of Jupiter don't accept their presence well. The group members are bullied and are eventually asked to leave the town.
The video also sees this season's main villain, Twisty the Clown (John Carroll Lynch), in action, attacking one of his victims.
"Freak Show" debuts Wednesday, October 8 at 10 P.M. ET/PT on FX. It is set in the quiet, sleepy hamlet of Jupiter, Florida. The year is 1952. A troupe of curiosities has just arrived to town, coinciding with the strange emergence of a dark entity that savagely threatens the lives of townsfolk and freaks alike. This is the story of the performers and their desperate journey of survival amidst the dying world of the American carny experience.
Jessica Lange plays Elsa Mars, a former German cabaret star who manages the freak show. Evan Peters, Kathy Bates, Michael Chiklis, Angela Bassett, Frances Conroy, Emma Roberts, Gabourey Sidibe, Wes Bentley, Finn Wittrock, Patti LaBelle and Matthew Bomer also star on the show.
