TV: New Details about ‘American Horror Story’ Season 4, ‘Freak Show’

March 25, 2014 | By Alyssa Pando

A while back, some pictures that turned out to just be fan art were released which depicted the next season of “American Horror Story” as a carnival. Turns out they were insanely close to the actual storyline which is that season 4, as reported by EW, will have a “Freak Show” theme.

Jessica Lange is again the leading lady, this time a German ex-pat in charge of one of the United State’s last freak shows. It’s set in 1950 in Jupiter, Florida, and the showcased performers are all some very recognizable names. Set to return are Kathy Bates, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Frances Conroy and Angela Bassett as freaks rescued by Lange’s character. And Emma Roberts might come back too. Eh.

Ryan Murphy went more for gore than psychological horror in season 3 of the show, but the set-up for this one seems like psychological scarring is likely. Creepy is always scarier than bloody, try and prove me wrong. Also, seeing as this is reportedly Lange’s last season on the show, we can only give a collective sob and hope it will do her justice.

i don't know how to feel about this. but i sure don't like Emma being called "Evan's girlfriend" or viceversa. i mean: yeah, sure, they're boyfriend-girlfriend, but they are their own person and they existed and acted before they started dating so... agh! fuck reporters!

anywhooo: i was hoping for Taissa and Evan to be a couple again this season. now i'm not sure i'll be getting that T.T

other thing: i really hope Taissa plays a crazy witch motherfucker, cuz i want Emma to be the scream queen of the series. or, wait: they can both be crazy witches motherfuckers... together! yeah, that'd be awesome! ♥
