AMERICAN HORROR STORY Season 4 To Be "Carnival" Set

Love it or hate it or don't care either way, since FX's American Horror Story seems to be one of the most divisive shows around, either way it's coming back, and Huffington Post reports (by way of A.V. Club) that they'll be going into some HBO territory.

In a podcast with Nerdist Writers Panel, "AHS" writer and co-executive producer Douglas Petrie spilled the setting of Season 4. When first asked about it, he quickly responded, "I can say nothing." Then Moira Kirkland, a writer for "Castle" and "Arrow" also on the podcast, said, "Well I don't know if it's true, but I heard carnival." Petrie responded, "Yes -- that was the, it -- it does not have a title."

They continued:

Podcast moderator Ben Blacker then asked, "But that's the setting?" and Petrie confirmed, "That's the idea, that's very roughly the idea." Listen to the podcast around the 33-minute mark to hear for yourself.

So there you have it. Haunted house, an asylum, a coven of witches, and now a carnival of evil.
There's a lot that could be done around that premise, and FX doesn't seem to be slowing down in terms of quality, so Season 4 might be American Horror Story's best yet.
