Tim Minear, 'American Horror Story' Executive Producer, has promised in a recent interview that the upcoming season of the horror-fantasy series will unleash the scariest villain of the entire anthology franchise so far.

In the recent 2014 International Comic-Con, the AHS show runner along with other AHS representatives divulged that actor John Carroll Lynch will be taking on the most spine-chilling lead villain character in the show's Season 4. Although the AHS team did not reveal details about the show's most powerful villain so far, rumor has it that the actor will be playing the infamous Clown Killer.

The latest 'American Horror Story' series is subtitled as 'Freakshow'. In another report, Minear was also quoted as saying that the forthcoming batch of AHS episodes will be the best of all the show's seasons "so far," and that it is unlike all of the series' previous seasons.

Also revealed in the Comic-Con are four of the show's characters, namely: Bette and Dot, the two-headed conjoined twins to be played by Sarah Paulson, Elsa Mars, a German ex-pat to be portrayed by Jessica Lange, Jimmy Darling to be played by Evan Peters, and his mother, Ethel Darling, estranged wife to Wendell del Tolito to be played by Kathy Bates. Also, Toltolito's role in America's favorite horror story is portrayed by actor Michael Chiklis.

The latest season in the series is currently under production in New Orleans, as 'American Horror Story: Freak Show' is scheduled to premiere in October of this year.
