Watch: ‘American Horror Story: Freak Show’ Trailer Peeks At Angela Bassett’s Extra Cleavage

“American Horror Story: Freak Show,” the newest iteration of Ryan Murphy‘s technically-a-miniseries-at-least-for-the-Emmys series, has been teasing the oddness to come with only the most tantalizing glimpses of mutilations and creepery; now, we have a much better sense of the Weirdest Show on Earth, thanks to this extended trip through the tents of a 1952-era circus.

Whatever “Freak Show” might end up being, “dull” is a word that will never apply. So, if Kathy Bates with a beard, Sarah Paulson with an extra head and Angela Bassett also having extra things intrigues, just sublimate your memories of the HBO series “Carnivale,” hit play and enjoy.
