'American Horror Story: Freak Show' unveils another trailer showing a horrifying child game 'Peek A Boo'. The highly anticipated miniseries comes back soon revealing weirder and scarier scenes.
The upcoming show, recently, posted a teaser video showing kids doing the well-known 'Peek A Boo'. As previously revealed, the series will expose tons of weird freak show talents including the conjoined twins Dot and Bette Tattler (Sarah Paulson), the bearded woman Ethel Darling (Kathy Bates), the three-breasted woman Desiree (Angela Bassett) and more.
In addition, FX posted the official story arc, which reads, "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."
Meanwhile, the show's co-creator Ryan Murphy disclosed 'AHS's story arc on Entertainment Weekly. "It sort of dovetails with a time in our culture where different people of all different kinds of life start to stand up for their civil rights. The performers have put up with centuries of abuse which is all true and are getting to the point where we're not going to take it anymore," he begins.
He reveals the reason of Elsa, the freak show manager, in creating some kind of a vengeful show to elaborate the hardships of the people, who are discriminated during the early 1950's. "They were really ostracized from society. They were thought of as the dregs. So that's going on as Elsa is trying to keep the sideshow going and it's not working until she stumbles across two girls, conjoined twins played by Sarah Paulson, who may or may not be responsible for heinous activities that have gone on in the town," he reveals.
"Then suddenly become her new headliners and of course that begins to attract people far and wide to see this incredibly odd and special girls," he concluded.
World's smallest woman, Jyoti Amge, will appear on the series as Ma Petite. She will join cast members including Evan Peters (who plays Jimmy Darling), Jessica Lange (as Elsa Mars), Emma Robers (as Maggie), Denis O'Hare (as Stanley), Frances Conroy (as Gloria Mott), John Carroll Lynch (as Twisty the Clown), Michael Chiklis (Dell Toledo) and more. In addition, the show includes 'a clown killer'.
'Glee' star Lea Michelle and 'White Collar' star Matt Bomer will be joining the lineup.
"American Horror Story: Freak Show" premieres on Wednesday, October 8 at 10:00 p.m. EST only on FX.
