Everyone’s favorite twisted TV series, American Horror Story, is set to premiere October 8th, and it is promising to be the most terrifying season yet. In a recent interview with Buzzfeed, Ryan Murphy, the mastermind behind the show, revealed that he thinks his newest deadly, villainous creation, Twisty the Clown, may be too scary. “I’m worried about people being too afraid of our clown. It’s heart-stopping what he does. I’m worried that people are going to have cardiac arrests.” Holy. Shit.
