My most anticipated release, after Rob Zombie's The Lords of Salem, this coming fall is FX's American Horror Story: Asylum. Yet again created by Brad Falchuk and Ryan Murphy, the new season offers a completely new story in a completely new setting. American Horror Story: Asylum takes place in 1964 at the Briarcliff Institution in Boston and is said to involve Nazi's, aliens and a serial killer named Bloody Face, who wears 'a mask made out of his victim's skin along with a black nightie and opera length gloves'. Premiering in the new season are (the oh so hunky) Adam Levine (insert pause to drool), Chloe Sevigny, James Cromwell and Joseph Fiennes. Returning to the series with new characters are Jessica Lange, Zachary Quinto, Evan Peters, Lily Rabe and Sarah Paulson. To get a glimpse of the new season's character set up, check out the two trailers below.
Briarcliff Institution is run by the sadistic Sister Jude, a stern woman with 'a dark past that will resurface'. Working with her are Dr. Thredson (Zacahary Quinto) a psychiatrist whose forward-thinking inflicts him to go head to head with Sister Jude, and Dr. Arden (James Cromwell) whose behind one of the season's new frights; The Raspers - mutated humans that are the result of Dr. Arden's diabolical experiments on Briarcliff's inmates, and who lurk in the forest outside the institution. Superior to Sister Jude is Monsignor Timothy O'Hare (Joseph Fiennes) who finds himself on the receiving end of her affection, and inferior to her is Sister Eunice (Lily Rabe) who, although she appears a bit dense, might not be the perfect second-in-command.
Adam Levine plays Leo, a newlywed who visits Briarcliff and gains the attention of the 'Big Bad', who will be the Rubber Suit Man of this season. With him he brings his wife Teresa (Jenna Dewan-Tatum). Sarah Paulson portraits the lesbian reporter Lana, who's committed to the asylum by her own girlfriend after she nearly exposes Briarcliff's darkest secrets. Chloe Sevigny plays the ominous but secretive nymphomaniac Shelley and Evan Peters returns as as the good-guy Kit, one of Briarcliff's newest inmates who's committed after being accused of murdering his wife (played by Britne Olford) although he claims she was abducted. And not by humans.
Not much else has been revealed on the new season's setup or synopsis but the twelwe teasers below might give some clues on what to expect. American Horror Story: Asylum premieres on FX, October 17th .
