'American Horror Story: Freak Show' Gets Trailer, Premiere Date (VIDEO)

News has been rolling in all summer on American Horror Story: Freak Show, from the casting of music legend Pattie LaBelle, to the hiring of the World's Smallest Woman. But now, we've got actual news on the new season's premiere date, along with an actual teaser trailer. You know, not a fake one.

American Horror Story: Freak Show will premiere on Wednesday, Oct. 8 at 10:00 PM on FX, and the announcement comes with an all-new plot description to give us a hint of what's to come:

“Freak Show begins its tale in the quiet, sleepy hamlet of Jupiter, Florida. The year is 1952. A troupe of curiosities has just arrived to town, coinciding with the strange emergence of a dark entity that savagely threatens the lives of townsfolk and freaks alike. This is the story of the performers and their desperate journey of survival amidst the dying world of the American carny experience.”

And now, the first official teaser trailer. It's incredibly brief, but also incredibly creepy. Check it out below:
