Promotion for the upcoming season of American Horror Story is in full swing, and we now have three new teasers which prove just how terrifying this season is going to be.
The first new promo released by FX, called "Open Wide," manages to pack so much absolute terror into just 11 seconds. It shows nothing more than a close up shot of one of the series' clowns giving an eerie smile, which suddenly shifts into a absolutely terrifying scream directly into the camera.
We then have our second promo, "Twisted Smile," which plays the song "The Carnival" by Amanda Jenssen as a mysterious figure, presumably another clown, dances in the shadows before quickly coming into frame and showing off one twisted smile.
Finally, the third trailer shows a both impressive and pretty creepy sword swallower, showing that this season will terrify us with far more than just clowns.
As we've previously reported, the fourth season of American Horror Story will take place in the 1950s in Jupiter, Florida, and will revolve around one of the last remaining freak shows in the country.
According to Entertainment Weekly, some of the characters will include a bearded lady and a clown appropriately named the Clown Killer.
Freak Show will star Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates and Sarah Paulson, who also appeared in previous seasons of the series. Because the show is an anthology, though, the story of characters of Freak Show will be completely fresh, meaning viewers intrigued by these teasers can easily jump on board without having to catch up.
