Time to Get Freaky: First Look at Sarah Paulson, Jessica Lange & More in New Season of American Horror Story

Jessica Lange is ready to lead the big top. No, not in Pippin (but OMG let’s all imagine that for a moment. OK, great). We finally have our first full trailer for American Horror Story: Freak Show, and it features a whole host of stage vets getting their freak on. Step in if you dare, and sneak a peek of Kathy Bates as bearded lady Ethel Darling, Michael Chiklis as strong man Wendell Del Toredo, Angela Bassett as the three-breasted Desiree Dupree and Sarah Paulson as the conjoined Bette and Dot Tattler (who would probably make Daisy and Violet wet themselves). One person who's missing? Half human/half goat Lea Michele. The new season of the terrifying Ryan Murphy series takes center ring on October 8 on FX.
