Basically, its giving us major Twisty the Clown vibes from Freak Show, and its something we can never unsee.American Horror Story Season 7 tease. A post shared by Ryan Murphy (@mrrpmurphy) on May 5, 2017 at 7:28am PDT Murphy first announced the upcoming seasons theme on an episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in February.Hes been wishy-washy about how exactly former candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton would factor into the storyline since then, but multiple cast members have expressed an interest in taking a crack at portraying them.Series mainstay and unconfirmed actual chameleon Sarah Paulson has already gone on record saying shed be game to play Trump. Evan Peters, on the other hand, thinks hed be perfect to play first daughter Ivanka.But it seems the show does not have an astronomical orange spray tan budget. Murphy clarified his original comments back in February to say the season wouldnt focus on the candidates themselves.The themes of American Horror Story have always been allegories, Murphy said. You will not see [Donald] Trump and [Hillary] Clinton as characters on the show. -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.
