A new official one-sheet has snaked its way online from FX to promote their upcoming third season of hit horror TV show ‘American Horror Story: Coven’. The new serpent laden poster features a trio of ladies each gagging on a scaly section of the sneaky snake once more adding to the typical mythology that the franchise always teases with. Along with the previous batch of teaser TV spots its another wonderful example of how the marketing guys at FX can get in our heads and play on our fears and keep us achingly impatient for the new season to begin with not knowing exactly what to expect. Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates (‘Misery’), Sarah Paulson, Angela Bassett, Alexandra Breckenridge, Evan Peters (‘Kick-Ass’), Frances Conroy, Taissa Farmiga, Denis O’Hare, Lily Rabe, Gabourey Sidibe, Jamie Brewer, Emma Roberts (‘Scream 4’) and Patti Lupone all star in the latest season.
“Over 300 years have passed since the turbulent days of the Salem witch trials and those who managed to escape are now facing extinction. Mysterious attacks have been escalating against their kind and young girls are being sent away to a special school in New Orleans to learn how to protect themselves. Wrapped up in the turmoil is new arrival, Zoe (Farmiga), who is harboring a terrifying secret of her own. Alarmed by the recent aggression, Fiona (Lange), the long-absent Supreme, sweeps back into town, determined to protect the Coven and hell-bent on decimating anyone who gets in her way.”
‘American Horror Story: Coven’ premieres on FX on 9 October at 10pm.
