31 American Horror Story GIFs That Will Prep You For the Freak Show

FX

In recent weeks, as we draw closer to the season premiere of American Horror Story, a veritable avalanche of teasers have hit the Internet. All the short teasers have included everything from a three-legged contortionist to the most unsettling, terrifying clown you'll ever see. More recently, though, we got a full, in-depth look at the season in the form of a full-length, extended trailer, getting us more amped than ever for the new season. Keep scrolling for all the GIFs from every trailer so far, and prepare to freak out a little bit.
