Tonight American Horror Story: Freak Show is back and it is bringing a pretty big named guest with it. Oscar host and all around super showman, Neil Patrick Harris, is making his series premiere tonight. However, Harris might find it hard to steal spotlight from Finn Wittrock (Unbroken, Normal Heart ). Wittrock plays the series main villain, Dandy Mott, who is following in the over sized footsteps of Twisty the killer clown (John Carroll Lynch).
The official plot synopsis for tonight’s all new episode of American Horror Story: Freak Show, titled “Magical Thinking,” reads:
“Elsa prepares for her move to Hollywood. Meanwhile, Dell plots an escape plan for Jimmy.”
When the season started viewers were lead to believe that Twisty the Clown (John Carroll Lynch) was going to be the main villain. However, it was quickly revealed that Dandy Mott (Finn Wittrock) was the real big bad of the season. Recently, Finn opened up to Vulture about the Dandy / Twisty twist:
“I think you're diverted by the clown. And John Carroll Lynch was so good in it, and the design of the clown was so scary and terrifying. I think that they wisely realized that it's better to keep it short and have the clown be the scariest clown you've ever seen and then move on, you know? And, yes, Dandy revered the clown, he puts him on a pedestal, he wants to be him, and then he basically becomes him. I mean, he becomes his own version of him. He's still Dandy. I think he inhabits the clown's spirit and that liberates him to do all the nefarious things that he does. “
What did you think about the ole switcheroo? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section at the bottom of the page.
