FX’s fourth season for American Horror Story is headed for the circus with the title Freak Show. The first full trailer reveals a brief look at the characters that includes the bearded woman, the two-headed woman, the strong man and three-boobed lady. There’s nothing all that scary or freaky about this trailer, but I’m sure the writers are saving up the truly bizarre and shocking for the actual show. The all-star cast will include Kathy Bates, Michael Chiklis, Angela Bassett, Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, Jessica Lange and Jyoti Amge. American Horror Story: Freak Show will debut October 8 at 10pm on FX. Read the full story synopsis below:
