Last season you were the scurrdy cats at our very own Coven of witches here at TT, but now I want to affectionately call you freaktards. Just embrace it, and don’t be offended by the lack of political correctness. We’re supposed to have freaky fun while freaking out while watching American Horror Story: Freak Show. Plan to be submerged into a dark sinister world set in the 1950’s in Jupiter Florida for the last struggling traveling carnival called “The Cabinets of Curiosities” with Jessica Lange as the ring leader Elsa Mars, who also sings some David Bowie too. #LifeOnMars
Prepare to not be able to unsee what you see. There will be plenty of human oddities that confuse the senses. Most impressively Sarah Paulson has 2 heads, Angela Bassett has 3 breasts, and Kathy Bates has a beard. I’ve read that this season the writers pushed the limits with some unsettling psychosexual situations too. You don’t even want to know what Evan Peters’ lobster hands can do. #ThirdBase
So who is the villain this season? It.is.a.fucking.clown! I’m already peeing in my pants at the thought of Twisty the Clown, and Twisty is going to be murdering people up in herre! What you freaktards need to know is that I can handle any kind of horror with no problems. But clowns? OH HELL NAH.
For the record I have a mild-moderate phobia of clowns. I was a kid in the 70’s, and creepy clowns were a big part of my childhood & pop culture. There was Bozo the Clown, Romper Room, Ronald McDonald, & musical jack in the box toys. Do any of you remember when the Jack In the Box burger chain used to have an actual glowing 3D CLOWN HEAD staring you in the drive thru? My clown phobia was solidified thanks to notorious serial killer John Wayne Gacy & his horrific clown creeper ways. So I’m gonna need some weekly volunteers to hold me during the clown scenes, preferably someone with a hairy chest. #Match.com
More surprising than the sexually explicit images in the opening credits is that the music was remixed. I thought the original music was iconic to the series, but it still has the essence of the former music, but it’s less jarring to the ears but more musical & dreamlike to fit the carnival theme. Later on in the season we’ll be able to recognize the hidden clues that are always peppered throughout the credits.
Speaking of pepper, I am thrilled that Pepper, a wildly popular but underused character from Season 2 AHS:Asylum, played by Naomi Grossman will be crossing over into Season 4. This is the FIRST time a character has crossed over to another season. Also joining the cast is Patti Labelle (YASS!!), Michael Chiklis, Matt Bomer, & Finn Wittrock, and expect more freaky surprises by show creator Ryan Murphy.
“Monsters Among Us” is the title of the 90 minute premiere of American Horror Story: Freak Show on FX tonight at 10 ET, and please join us here for our discussion. I will post a recap tomorrow or Friday, but I wanted an immediate place for us freaktards to gather and talk during and after the show. Watch out for Twisty because that freak don’t play.
This is the second season that TamaraTattles.com has had the pleasure of Urethra Franklin writing recaps. If you missed any last year’s you really should click hear to read them. The American Horror Story Seasons are all completely stand alone, but his recaps are really, really a fun read whether you watched last season or not. Just read with the lights on!

American Horror Story: Freak Show premieres tonight, Wednesday, Oct. 8, at 10 p.m. Normal People Time in FX.
Proud freaktard here! I just watched the documentary on the real lobster claw guy and his lobster claw family on the ID Discovery channel last month. This season is gonna be really creepy. I’m ready. I think.
I cannot tell you how THRILLED I am that you’re going to be blogging it UF. Love love love your AHS blogs. Always amazing and absolutely hysterical.
Plus Lori can now stop asking me if UF is going to do it. I really wasn’t 100% sure until today. #ClownPhobia

When the email came in from Tamara Tattles with the AHS title my heart actually started beating faster in my chest and my eyes got wide with excitement.
I really appreciated it because I know that recapping this show is a lot of work.
TT the clown phobia is real thing you know. But I am somewhat mature and nondramatical about it in my everyday life. But now because of AHS I have to just go with the flow… and I’m afraid some of that flow will be my piss.
Sometimes I get random nipple hairs. If that is enough to meet your need to be held by someone with a hairy chest…..

Took me a day to watch. AMAZING! Talk about going big. Let’s hope it stays that way.
Amy, TT fan from Campo
So cool about Pepper. She certainly fits in. I’m psyched about Patti Labelle too, and I’m actually glad that they’ve changed the music. That’s the only part of AHS that I didn’t like. It was like an assault. I dealt with it season one, but after that I couldn’t listen to a second of it. I would panic on the remote trying to either turn it down or ff.
I was the opposite about the music in the opening. I would always watch it & listen to it. It set the tone for each episode for me. But the former music sounded like “Nine Inch Nails” (who I love) with the heavy industrial metal sound. This remixed music sounds more trippy & with an epic dreamscape, or I should say Nightmarescape.
I really liked the opening YouTube thingy… which is weird. I didn’t think it was scary, just sort of fascinating…

I LOVE IT! Love the music love The Freakshow love NIN love what they did with the new music, blending the circus & the original music is genius. This show is genius IMO.
Your recap sounds so good that I’m about to go read all of the ones you wrote for Coven!!
I was so excited yesterday when this show FINALLY began…ugh I’m already loving this premise. I too grew up in the 70’s Urethra, I get the whole clown fear lol…in the words of the great Carrie Bradshaw “nothin worse than a clown!” But the MAKEUP..my lord the makeup, if this seasons’ AHS doesn’t deserve the Emmy for outstanding makeup I don’t know who does. I know the season has just started but come ON! LOOK AT THIS stuff! The only “real oddity” is the shortest woman alive am I right? She’s the only one who really exists in this form. Everyone else is MAKEUP! The clowns face! Holy FUK! I’ve done my share of makeup & even graduated from makeup artistry school & can tell you that clowns makeup is AMAZEBALLS, takes hours upon hours to do, and one of the TOP faces I’ve seen on television! It’s just going to get better too..ugh I can’t wait!
I was also thinking we wouldn’t find out Jessica/Madame Elsa’s “thing” right away but hot dang they generously revealed it in the very first episode! No legs!!! Amazing. Just amazing.
The whole opening with the cast of characters in “clay” versions is frikin crazy awesome…I just can’t wait for the others to arrive…and look forward to your weekly recaps!
Count me in! I am already a fucktard, so I will happily be a freaktard! I don’t comment much at all, but love your recaps. You litterally make me laugh out loud! Thanking you in advance!
UF is the best at recaps! I’m not sure if these will be funny though. I was scared just tagging in all the character names!
His hash tags really crack me up. I am a horror movie geek, and the scarier, the better.
A couple of years ago in some AHS forum I’ve read speculation that in a future season that Jessica Lange will play a Marlene Dietrich inspired character. Well this character of Elsa Mars is IT. I’m certain that this season’s theme has been more than an idea for a while. I hope it reflects in the story telling and pace. AHEM Coven……
I have to jump in to mention the clown in Stephen King’s “It”. #nightmares
NOT HELPING! NOT HELPING!
LOL I am not even sure I am going to watch.
TT, please watch, want you chiming in in comments.
I have stacks of clean panties ready to go. I am starting the series off watching the midnight showing, alone, as always.
TT, not helping, not helping. We need positive reinforcement for UF. He is your indentured servant after all. Lol (at least pretend shhhhh).
Yeah NO. My clown phobia was a well maintained trait by the time “IT” hit the theaters, and I never saw it. Just the images of that clown alone make me shiver with fright.
Right on, Kyfried! I read that book non-stop over 24 straight hours then couldn’t sleep. TERRIFIED!
I.Can’t.Wait!!!!!!!!!! One of the best newer shows and concepts out right now. “Freaktards” unite! Lol
His use of has tags really crack me up! I am an admitted horror movie geek. The scarier, the better! I am without people, but have 2 Rottweilers, and a little chi/fox terrier mix, so I am in great company. Thanks for all of your blogs, I am here off and on every day, I enjoy it so much.
Sorry, that was in reply to Tamara, please excuse my errors, as I am new to posting.
Yay! Welcome back, Urethra. I’m so excited for this season!! I have to admit though, I can’t watch this shit at night. I’ll be dvring and watching in the daylight. Fuck some crazy clown dreams.
You are making a wise choice. That clown is not right in the head.
I’m with you… I’m obsessed with AHS and loveeeee UF’s recaps! But this is some saturday morning daytime TV for me
UF, my Freaktard flag is flying high already. Can’t wait for your recap babe. Unfortunately, I don’t have a hairy chest to help you through the clown phobia stuff, but I will be glad to buy some faux fur and wear it if that would help. Anything to keep you recapping. It seems like it has been a year since AHS has been on my t.v. and tonight is the night. A commercial for it is on as I type.
OMG at your faux fur option. Hilarious but ummm still unacceptable.
Sorry UF. It’s the best I can do being female lol.
Well, at least the new radiator and pretty new basement will help. I somehow could not get to FX on time but I think I am mostly caught up. Missed the first 2-3 minutes.

Thanks so much TT for having UF for a second season. I’ve been following UF for a long time, so I assume I will be reimbursed my TT Tokens at a later date? And besides, I haven’t been an annoying tre hugger in the RHONJ posts (though I guess I have been backing Amber…). YOU DON’T APPRECIATE ME, Tamara! *cries* <3
Anyway, I'm so excited for the season, and I like what they did with music. It is especially whimsical and appropriate. Maybe they should have remixed the last two seasons as well to better fit their themes.
Regardless, I'm super excited for what appears will be some social commentary on the idea of "outcasts". Secondly, the opening has ALOT of sexual overtones to it, so maybe we'll explore how society views sex… I'm just so excited.
Followers of UF from last season get 5 tokens. For being smart enough to invest early.:)

Hey Steve so good to have you back around us freaks here. And YIKES to your Gacy connection. Good thing you weren’t lured with candy by a perverted murdering clown.
i lurk thru most of TTs posts, but dont watch most of the shows so dont talk much. this was a good start for this season, watching the rerun to see what i missed the first time through. UF, glad your doing this again for all us freaks 🙂
once again Jessicsa Lange brings another accent. her german is better than her west viginia in season one.
OMG I’m gonna have a problem with that accent. And I’m already googling German words.
Subtitles.
That clown is going to give me nightmares for years!
I was born in the late 70s and clowns scare the crap out of me. They are simply not funny. Thank you for the update because I love ahs, but I will not be watching this season. I will never sleep. Just thinking about it creeps me out. Ahhhhh!!!!!
I skipped over all of the comments and am currently watching this. My DVR F’d up and I missed the first 10 minutes.
VERY good so far. I love how they start with a clean slate each season (The New Orleans season is my favorite thus far). Can’t wait to see how they introduce Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Gab Sid and the Stevie Knicks protege.
Kathy Bates (Bearded Lady) just showed up. Gotta go!!
misty and zoe arent in this season,
Evan Peters is hot even as a carnie. #shocker
OMG that murderous clown is beyond. Why does he got to be so extra?
WTF is he? Is his head covered in other peoples’ head skin? Those teeth! Why is the premier so sexualized? Not that I mind though…cuz I’m a freaktard.
UF, I am so thankful you are recapping here again. Let the nightmares begin!
TY DarkThoughts. It does look like he is wearing skin as part of his mask. That is the exact same schtick that was used in season 2 AHS:Asylum with Bloody Face and his victims face mask.
Just watched. OMG, OMG, OMG! A combo of the 50’s movie Freaks, some Stephen King and a pinch of True Detective. Not sure if I can sleep tonight. Thanks UF for covering this show.
Yes Barb there were a lot of references . I know I missed some. I have to watch a 2nd & maybe 3rd time to recap.
TT did you notice in one scene they said the name Eudora Tattler. She was one of the clowns victims. Uh-oh….
Uh-oh what UF? I can’t remember from last season. Don’t do that and not finish and then not recap till tomorrow or Friday. Damn it.
Sorry Hannah, I promise a recap will be posted but just be patient and keep checking back; but in the mean time share your thoughts. I always love and appreciate your perspective and your ways with prose.
You may not have noticed but I over drank in preparation for the show, started reading about Ebola, went on a twitter rampage about out insecure borders how we are all going to die, and went to bed. All to avoid this show. It was worth it.

eudora was bette and dots mom wasnt she? thats how the milkman came to find them? or did i miss something.
Yes, she was their mom. At least she wasn’t killed by Twisty. Just by her two headed, or rather one bodied, daughters, which is always so much better.
Did anyone catch what Jimmy Darling said. That sooner or later they would all end up in asylums? It’s interesting since we know that Pepper, sadly, will wind up there…
And WOWOWOWOW to Pepper getting her freak on in that home video.
I sure did…well, as an official freaktard I will not be ashamed to admit I’m going to have to rewatch a few scenes including that one cuz I was going ummm did I just see what I think I just saw?
And I love that Pepper has a male counterpart.
Loved it!! But i gotta tell ya, I was much more wow’d with the lobster hands & the uptight housewives in the bordello!!!
Oh. Mah. Gaaaaad.
I’m not afraid of clowns and even I have to admit that the shot of Ooga Booga the Clown sitting on the merry-go-round kind of caught me off guard.
think doc johnson is going to make motorized lobster claw gloves?
Yep, they’re gonna call it the Iclaw vibrator.
OMFG some account on twitter called TwistyTheClown is following me & tweet taunting me…. I.QUIT.THIS BITCH….
Oh geez UF. Tamara and her nipple hairs better get to you fast!
Hit the block button UF. Never give up. I’ll get the townsfolk with the pitchforks. I know that’s usually for Frankenstein but it will probably work on Twisty as well.
Moderation hell on AHS night. This sucks.
OMG, I just finished watching. Soooooo good! I kind of wish that they didn’t show any of the freaks in the previews, as I would have loved to have been surprised at what was behind that hospital curtain. Anyway, there are many who we haven’t seen, so that’s good.
That was one brave milkman, but seriously, a rolling pin??? Surely there were many better weapon choices in the kitchen than that.
I loved the song that Jessica Lange sang. I’m already in love with her character. They did a great job of making us (me?) feel something for pretty much every character so quickly. I have a feeling this may end up being my favorite season ever. For me it’s always been season one, but this one feels a lot like that one for me, as far as really feeling connected to the characters. It’s crazy how much Kathy Bates looks like a man with that beard. I kept forgetting that she’s not a man, but a bearded lady.
There’s just too much to even comment on. I really liked how they did that split screen thing with the twins sometimes when they were looking at people.
I wonder why she wants the candy striper girl there. But the way, the actress who plays her was on the recent Halle Berry show Extant.
Can’t wait for your blog UF, and I can’t wait for next week’s show.
P.S. Tamara, I am so happy you’re watching!!!
lori, I was laughing about the rolling pin too. Really? You are going to make pastry? At least grab a cast iron pan if not a knife.
The candy striper, yes, she is so much like her mother. A Gummer for sure.
Those are the exact two items that I yelled at my screen that he should have taken. Lol
So that little lady in the birdcage is a kid, right?
I’m trying to watch this again. Sober with all the lights on in the middle of the day. This seems possible.

Its following me and tweeting me. It’s creeping me the fuck out. Gotta keep my big boy pants dry.
I tried to tell you in an earlier post that I was rallying the townsfolk with pitchforks usually reserved for Frankenstein for Twisty the Clown but Moderation Hell wouldn’t let me comfort you.
I was 8 when my parents let me watch “It” so I definitely grew up with a healthy fear of clowns. I’m sorry….too buzzed to read….did AHS start tonight? Been looking forward to it but don’t have cable anymore due to an existential breakdown.
UF glad you are back, my better half shares your clown phobia, so I understand your sacrifice.Many moons ago I found a really creepy clown doll made in Japan (Japan tends to make some freaky things) in a thrift shop. I placed it ,so he would be staring at it when he walked in at night. Still laugh thinking of the high pitched scream; he made followed by a few choice words. Finally ,I believed he really really did not like clowns. Waiting for your recap with baited breath. Thank you for your bravery.
I am thrilled to be able to go to my favorite site and read a recap of AHS. I am also thrilled to be a freaktard. Been counting down the days for AHS and it certainly did not disappoint. So far Murder House has been my fave, so I’m ready fora new favorite
BTW, is the clown followimg you on twitter really saying thimgs to bother you? I’m soooo curious! #howscary
This first episode is the best thing I have seen on tv in years. I don’t know how I missed the sexual parts of the preview, until I read about it here. I wish I could slow down my screen sometimes, I miss things. I feel like my eyes have slowed down with age. Maybe I am a freak.
The law was sure more interested in locking up the 2 headed woman that killed one person than realizing there is a serial killer, the clown that is stalking UF now. He really is, I have seen Twisty myself.
Can’t wait! Finally some good american TV again, things were running dry over here.
I’m just so happy. I look forward to the season and look forward to the recaps. They are like dessert after a great meal. HAPPY. HAPPY !
Another freaktard here! I am sooooo happy that Urethra is safely chained and recapping AHS. I can’t offer a hairy chest for you to snuggle in, Urethra, but I’ll protect you from the scary clown.
Sorry for mistakes, it was hard to understand the lyrics many times, but the song Elsa sings:
Fraulein Elsa
It’s a god awful small affair
to the girl with the mousy hair
but her mommy is yelling no
and her daddy has told her to go
but her friend is nowhere to be seen
now she walks through her sunken dream
to the seat with the clearest view
and she’s hooked to the silver screen
but the film is a saddling bore
’cause she’s lifted ten times or more
she could fit in the eyes of fools
as they ask her to focus on sailors fighting in the dance hall
old man, look at those hips
and know, it is a freakiest show
is there life on mars
I’m with you, I have a clown phobia stemming from a childhood incident.
Wow, lobster boy, sure knows how to use his claws!
I LOVED Jessica Lang singing David Bowie!
Kathy Bates as the bearded woman and Mom of Lobster Boy, as well as Jessica Lang’s right hand (wo)man is brilliant!
BTW, who was the flexible women giving an upside down blow job to the wolfman?
Only here are questions like this asked. SMH. I missed that part.
UF has been granted an extension on the blog this week due to some things that came up in real life. That pesky real life really interferes sometimes.

Hey freaktards sorry to be late with the first recap of the season, but I woke up today to some bad news & personal drama that needed some of my attention. I’m working on it ( it was a long episode too), and I promise to get it posted asap.
Hey UF, don’t worry about it. We’ll appreciate it WHENEVER you get it posted. You take care of your life first and foremost. Hope everything is alright.
UF, you wake up hiding from your twisty clown stalker?
I think maybe it was the candy striper herself?
I think the scariest scene for me was when they first showed what I just knew was that gd clown, walking towards us from the distance.
On another note, the clown in the opening credits is quite terrifying in his own right.
OK. It’s on like Donkey Kong. I only got through about #500freakingcomments, and not even the ones after the show started.
I have to say some things so I don’t forget after all the comments:
Really, I get 5 Tokens for being a Coven Diehard last season? FuckinA!
It’s Ryan Murphyville and the Freaktards is going to make it more reason I’ll have to watch 5 times to catch everything: Jessica Lange was revealed to have NO LEGS?? Or her ‘thing’ is NO LEGS?
Clowns don’t bother me, hell there’s Jokers to the left and clowns to the right, I’m used to them I guess. I want to know what actor is the clown though?
And finally, this is the Freak Sex Show….everything was about the sex and it wasn’t on the Mission Trail. So I expect besides a ripped face or leg or 50, there’s going to be one helluva freak sex show.
Do I want to watch a season of Freaks, Geeks and Sex? I don’t know yet. But just knowing that TT is having UF recap, I’m in!!!!:))
Also, I haven’t gone back to re-read everything we all speculated on what era, where, what would the theme be this year. I vaguely remember it was definitely the ’50’s but some said 1950. Jessica would be German, maybe some ex cabaret singer. There were speculation that the 50’s and the nuclear bomb and Area 51 stuff might be the gist of the theme too.
Well from ‘Elsa’s’ first appearance, I got the impression she is some ex star of some sort of course I’ll have to wait for the replay on tonight hopefully tomorrow. I was the one that thought there’d be this Cabaret subplot, but as it looks now she’s just a German Madam of Freaks w/ a lust for the stardom she once had….somewhere:)
And JoJo what of what really happened to Elsa’s legs? Where did they go? Who or what took them away? Are we the only ones who know she she’s like Capt. Dan and has no legs?
I had nightmares all night last nigh about a guy with a freaky baby that grew on his hip and he had a trunk full of freak babies and made me hold one for him and I DID NOT WANT TO TOUCH IT.
I may not survive this season.

Lol Tamara. I’ve been having a lot of dreams with bravolebities in them lately. I dint know which is worse.
Your dream reminded me of something else. What on earth is that in the opening credits where they show a guy with like an arm where his dick should be, wearing a boot I believe? I wonder if we’ll be meeting him at some point. So much to look forward to! Lol
I’m looking forward to another season! Its now my Wednesday nite date! UF got me hooked last year and I wouldn’t miss this! OMG Jessica’s wardrobe is phenom, that cape/ jacket is stylin, love the 50s dresses, hats and gloves. Freaktards we are!
Sounds like a cross between the 1932 MGM movie Freaks and Attack of the Killer Clowns from Outer Space
5cats. You definitely need to read UF’s recap in a day or two…you don’t have to watch the show to enjoy them. He literally puts the show into novel form over the course of the season. It’s pretty damn brilliant. Not like my slipshod unedited fast and furious recaps, it’s seriously like reading a novel. With amusing hashtags.

i have to agree with TT, the show is good but UFs recaps take it another step farther. i actually learned stuff from his research into the history behind coven last season. entertained and educated at the same time, its hard to beat that. 🙂
Did anyone catch the theme song to The Elephant Man (1980 David Lynch movie) playing at the very beginning? I thought that was pretty cool.
I wouldn’t recognize it if I heard it since its been I don’t know how many years since I’ve seen that movie, but that’s very cool. Good catch.
Sorry guys I just finished the recap and sent it to TT. So if she’s not drunk sleeping it might be posted soon. We have a lot to talk about. See ya in the next post. xoxo UF

I wasn’t drunk and sleeping it off, I had Ebola! One more reason to love this blog.
Don’t you bleed out of your eyeballs with Ebola, because it feels like that is happening. My eyelashes hurt. and my eyeballs are hot. And I have not gotten any sleep. I don’t feel chills and fevery anymore. No more sniffles. But I may be going blind. Or maybe the facial hair thing has moved to my eyelashes and they are just growing out super long at warp speed. It’s painful, but if I wake up with really long eyelashes it will be work it. Sort of. Maybe.
And for the love of God, UF stop editing.

Kathy Bates’ accent is so disracting.
I couldn’t tell if it was Amish, or Scottish, Dutch or what. But it’s supposed to be a Baltimore accent. I didn’t know Baltimore had an accent.
Jessica’s accent in the first 30 minutes was unbearable.
I use to live near Baltimore and trust me, they do have an accent there. Watch some of the early John Waters movies from the 1970s. You’ll really hear it in those films.
Baltimore has an accent. She did not do it so well. Like, she overdid it. I am not far from there. I can tell if a person is from south philly, south jersey, southern de, the eastern shore or balt’more. Mostly by asking them to say water. Or berry. The bates character didn’t need an accent if she can’t do it right. It sucks that it’s so distracting. That said, jessica lange’s dietrich, by way of madaline Kahn, sounded perfectly fine to me.
I was trying to not notice the bad accent. I usually love Kathy Bates, but so far, not loving her character.
