Have you watched "American Horror Story"'s Season 4 premiere already? Chances are, you are already spooked to bits about creator Ryan Murphy's latest baby, "Freak Show," thanks to the show's first footage released on Buzzfeed. Moreover, there have been reports about show spoilers ahead of Season 4's premiere, which will be on Wednesday, October 8, on FX.
E! News said in a spoiler chat scoop that in the first episode, fans of the show will expect not one, but two musical numbers courtesy of the characters of Jessica Lange and Sarah Paulson. Lange is set to play the glamorous German expat owner of the freak show, Elsa Mars. Paulson, who first frightened us with a teaser of her new look in the show as conjoined twins Bette and Dot, is also expected to be in a musical number. As exclusive footage of the show already confirmed that Lange's character would be singing in the series, it is unclear whether Paulson's characters would both sing or perform in the other musical number.
In another list provided by Buzzfeed, it has been hinted that there would be a lot of stabbing in the first episode alone. John Carroll Lynch, who is new to the show as the antagonist/killer Twisty the Clown, is expected to scare a lot of people with his mouth alone, of which the Hollywood Reporter describes it as "a large slash of a mouth a visual rip-off that crosses the Batman comic-book art work of Brian Bolland with the Heath Ledger, Dark Knight version of The Joker."
"AHS" production designer Mark Worthington is just as excited as the entire crew and cast to bring the freaks to life on television. He was quoted as saying about the number of actors with special gifts the show has hired in addition to bringing their veteran actors back to the show, "Ryan's showing them as complex. He's not showing them as one-dimensional. They're people with foibles and problems and not all of them are good or bad, so that in itself shows them more respect than they've ever been shown in film because he's trying to show them for who and what they are, in all their complexity."
