With series creator Ryan Murphy revealing that the forthcoming American Horror Story season will be called Freak Show, the internet has become abuzz with anticipation. Each year the show has taken a different horror premise and Freak Show is set to follow in the footsteps of Murder House, Asylum and Coven. What we know exactly about Freak Show is limited, but described here. In the previous three seasons American Horror Story has covered a wide range of horror staples, from alien abductions to witches, serial killers, voodoo and evil Nazi doctors. But what must Freak Show do to stand out from the seasons that came before it? With a simply astounding ensemble cast lined up, there is high hopes that Freak Show can be the best American Horror Story year yet. But it will be the last season to feature Jessica Lange, so there is the expectation that she will go out on a high. With Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates and Emma Roberts all returning from their debuts in Coven to join the ongoing cast of Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson and Jamie Brewer, there is a wide range of acting talent available especially as the big signing for this year is Michael Chiklis (sans the Thing costume, which he's presumably given to Jamie Bell). But what exactly must Freak Show improve on to give Lange the send-off that she deserves? Here are ten tweaks that the production team need to get right in Freak Show to make it the best season of American Horror Story ever.
