American Horror Story: Cult will feature a major clown storyline, but real-life clowns aren’t laughing. In the same week that the movie adaption of Stephen King’s It is set to terrorize coulrophobics, FX will also address clown phobia with the latest installment of Ryan Murphy’s anthology series.
AHS: Cult will feature the return of Freak Show‘s killer clown Twisty, who was played by John Carroll Lynch in the series’ circus-themed season back in 2014. In Freak Show, the half-masked antagonist’s horrors became the twisted inspiration for Dandy’s (Finn Wittrock) killings, and for Cult, it appears that Twisty’s murderous actions became notorious enough to inspire a twisted fan following. The Cult trailer reveals that Twisty even has his own comic book in the present day setting of the hit horror anthology.
