Plot Synopsis
AMERICAN HORROR STORY: FREAK SHOW begins its tale in 1952 in the quiet, sleepy hamlet of Jupiter, Florida. 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. According series Ryan Murphy in an interview with Tim Stack, "Twisty the Clown [the villain in FREAK SHOW] is a murderous clown and he's furious that the freaks have shown up in a town where he, the most evil clown of all time, has retired and he's out to make their lives a living hell."
