"American Horror Story: Freak Show" trailer: Meet the "freaks"

The teasers for "American Horror Story: Freak Show" have so far ranged from intriguing (a three-legged acrobat?) to terrifying (evil clown!), but we haven't gotten to see much of the season's actual cast of characters until now.

FX has unveiled the first official trailer for "Freak Show," and it's got Kathy Bates as the bearded lady, Michael Chiklis as a strong man, Sarah Paulson with two heads and Angela Bassett as a woman who let's just say probably doesn't have an easy time bra shopping.

Reigning supreme (see what we did there, "Coven" fans?) over this group of oddities is Jessica Lange, who plays a German expat living in 1950s Florida.

"American Horror Story: Freak Show" premieres Oct. 8 on FX. Watch the trailer below:
