Best Tweets From American Horror Story: Freak Show
Think it's safe to say we're all terrified after last night's opening episode of "American Horror Story: Freak Show." Sarah Paulson with two heads, Evan Peters with lobster hands and Kathy Bates as the Bearded Lady were a welcome respite from Twisty the Clown, who is sure to reappear in viewers' nightmares all season. We live tweeted the show with @AynW and @NewOrleans (where the show if filmed even though it's set in Jupiter, Florida). The clown scared the pants off just about everyone, and Jessica Lange wowed us with her version of David Bowie's "Life on Mars." If last night was any indication, "Freak Show" is going to be the creepiest season yet — and possibly the best.
More Terrifying Details on American Horror Story: Freak Show
Show creator Ryan Murphy dished to Entertainment Weekly about the new season of "American Horror Story" recently. He talked about where the idea for the show came from — Jessica Lange's interest in the lost and forgotten carny world — the plot as being a version of civil rights for performers, John Carroll Lynch as Twisty the Clown and the lack of a supernatural element. Let's face it, clowns are terrifying enough. Murphy told BuzzFeed that Twisty was created to be the most terrifying clown of all time and admits he's a bit scared of Twisty/Lynch himself. "I’m worried about people being too afraid of our clown," he said. "It’s heart-stopping what he does. I’m worried that people are going to have cardiac arrests … The clown’s intro in the first episode is … It’s brutal." EW also has a slideshow of 21 new photos from Freak Show, and you can hear Jessica Lange's German accent as Elsa in the clip below. Stay tuned for more updates, live tweeting with @AynW when the show airs October 8 and the return of our location guide.

There have been more juicy updates surrounding the highly anticipated fourth season of "American Horror Story" recently, including additions to the cast, crew and extra auditions and filming locations. We'll continue to keep you up to date and resume live tweeting of the show when it debuts October 15. "American Horror Story: Freak Show" will begin filming July 14 and run through the end of December, according to Louisiana Entertainment. Filming will take place in New Orleans, same as last year, but will be set at a carnival in Jupiter, Florida. As for the time period, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Ryan Murphy revealed “It’s a combination of two time periods, with the main one being in the 1950s.” Murphy also told EW the 13-episode miniseries will focus on the conflict between the freaks and the "evil forces" who do not understand them. Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Jamie Brewer, Frances Conroy, Denis O’Hare, Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Even Peters, Emma Roberts and Gabourey Sidibe have been confirmed as returning for the new season. The freak show will be run by Lange, a German expat who is desperate for the troupe to stay together. Sarah Paulson tweeted a photo of her character,
American Horror Story, Season 4, to be Set in Florida, Filmed in New Orleans
Yesterday, "American Horror Story" creator Ryan Murphy tweeted the news fans of the show have been waiting for: the title and premise of season 4. His image of a logo that reads "Freak Show" led to more news revealed — all good for the South. A spokesman for 20th Century Fox confirmed the show will be filmed in New Orleans again, after the city played perfect host to "Coven" and its stars last season. But while AHS will be shot in New Orleans, which has plenty of freaks of its own, the show will be set in another Southern state. No offense here, but Florida may be the freak mecca — just read the #ohflorida hashtag for headlines coming out of the state — and Murphy and co. have chosen the town of Jupiter for their freak show. The year will be 1950 and the premise a carnival theme with Jessica Lange returning to play a German expatriate managing a fading freak show. (Sounds like a Karen Russell novel, right?) Most of the other stars from "Coven" are also returning, including Kathy Bates, Sara Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett and Francis Conroy. No mention of Taissa Farmiga yet. She was underused as
