Is Episode Two of FX's "American Horror Story: Freak Show" will get the same treatment like its debut? It appears so, as show creator Ryan Murphy confirmed that the second episode of Season 4 will be air at 90 minutes, the same length of time like the first one.
CarterMatt.com posted a message purportedly coming from Murphy, who said about the upcoming episode, ""Because we love our FREAK SHOW fans, next week's episode is also 90 minutes...just like the premiere! Wait until you meet Michael & Angela!"
Murphy is pertaining to the characters of Michael Chiklis and Angela Bassett, who are playing the roles of the strongest man (Dell) and the three-breasted lady in Season 4 as confirmed in promos. The blogger noted that the relationship between Michael and Angela's characters will put a strain in Dell's relationship with his equally freaky son, Jimmy. Jimmy, the boy with the lobster claw-like hand, is played by "AHS" veteran Evan Peters.
However, the character who made the biggest impression during the season debut was the scary Twisty the Clown killer (John Carroll Lynch). CarterMatt.com postulates that Murphy is bound to have us explore Twisty's story, whether we like it or not. This means that we would be introduced to the face behind the mask at least in the upcoming season.
Murphy wrote on Twitter on October 12, "In FOUR DAYS, you will see what Twisty is hiding behind that mask."
HollywoodLife seems to agree with how Twisty is the stuff of nightmares as well. Recalling one of Twisty's murders, Avery Thompson wrote, "Like many horror movies, Twisty creeps up on an unsuspecting couple. "What happened to the rest of your mask?" the girl asked. (**Shudders**) After killing her boyfriend, Twisty runs after the girl and straight into my nightmares. Yep, just like that."
Variety, on the other hand, mentioned numbers that indicate that despite how scary Twisty is in the show premiere, the audience seems to refuse to unsee the series. "American Horror Story" reported posted higher ratings in the third straight year at 3.11 rating in adults 18-49 (nearly million in this age group) and 6.127 million viewers overall.
