* Episode 4 will reveal everything you need to know (for now) about Freak Show‘s big bad, Twisty the Clown. “There’s a big story that explains … why he’s doing what he’s doing,” Murphy says. The episode is “somewhat based on an urban myth.”
* This year’s two-part Halloween episode revolves around Wes Bentley as Edward Mordrake, a real-life figure who was supposedly born with a face on the back of his head (one which whispered evil commands, no less). Per carnie lore, you’re not supposed to work on Halloween night for fear that your songs will summon Edward, who will come and drag one of you down to hell. “That’s also the episode where Jessica [Lange] sings Lana Del Rey,” Murphy adds,” which is quite something to behold.”
* Expect more conflict between Emma Roberts and Sarah Paulson’s characters this season! Roberts plays Jimmy’s (Evan Peters) love interest, and Dot — one of Paulson’s conjoined-twin personas — “has it out for [her] right away,” per Murphy.
