We told you recently about the extreme horror aspect (one critic has deemed it the Scariest TV Show Ever) of the highly anticipated American Horror Story set to premiere on FX on October 5. We also showed you the first three very-David-Lynch TV spots. AHS has now gifted us with more of those TV spots, which we have learned are called “clues”, as well as a longer, wonderfully creepy and classy wordless introduction to the cast, which they’ve titled “Family Portrait”:

Excellent.

Two more cast members not featured in that Family Portrait have been recently added to the fun. TVLine broke the news that Eric Close (CHAOS, Without a Trace) has been brought in to play Hugo, “a charming cad with matinee idol looks who appears in a series of circa ’80s flashbacks.” And according to EOnline, Lily Rabe (The Good Wife, Medium) has been cast as a woman who shares “an ungodly connection” to Connie Britton’s character:

Lily will play the original owner of the haunted house that Connie and Dylan move into, and her story will be told in 1920s-era flashbacks. Sources who work on the show say she’s fantastically creeptastic in this new role, and there will be a cool and unexpected reveal regarding that aforementioned “ungodly connection” to Connie.

More excellence.

Now here are the rest of the “clues” to date; to see numbers 1-3, see our earlier post.
