It’s easy to think back on the summer, on an easier time when new possibilities and excitement lurked around every corner. Now that the daunting realization that it’s September has settled, the prospect of winter looms overhead, and those warm memories fade into taunting reminders. But as the cool air settles, so do the tantalizing tingles of the approaching holiday season. The savory wafts of Thanksgiving turkey tickle your nose. The sweet sound of cackling wrapping paper instill images of Christmas. And old bed sheets with cut out eyes make their way out of the closet as preparations for the most autumn associated holiday begin.
Before the smoked turkey and glazed ham hits the holiday dinner table, the ghouls and goblins take to the streets lined with the eerie glow of menacing Jack O'Lanterns. The orange colors, brisk autumn air and spooky themes are synonymous to the season, and to add to the aesthetic, television’s scariest show is returning for its third and most anticipated season yet.
As the days dwindle towards the Season 3 premiere of “American Horror Story,” titled “Coven,” FX finally released the exclusive poster that will send chills down your spine. It features three woman sharing tongue. But it’s not as sultry as you may think. The “tongues” are none other than slithery snakes, making their way out one pair of red lipsticked lips into another. How lovely. Check out the poster for yourself below.
On that topic, season 3 will stick close to its roots, hosting plenty of witchcraft and treachery. "It really is about the witches of Salem pitted against voodoo witches," creator Ryan Murphy told Vulture. "It's been a centuries-long feud and it's up to Jessica Lange and Angela Bassett to mend the fence."
"The witches of Salem, the smart ones, got out very early and they were none of the ones who were burned," he added. "They all gravitated toward New Orleans, where they now live, and every generation has a great witch who has the most powers of them all, and that's called the Supreme. Ms. Jessica Lange is the Supreme."
"American Horror Story" will return to FX for its third season, "Coven," October 9.
