Videos: Here Are New Creepy, Mysterious 'American Horror Story' Teasers

This story is free to read because readers choose to support LAist. If you find value in independent local reporting, make a donation to power our newsroom today.

A new batch of trailers for the next installment of American Horror Story were released today. They're still keeping the specific theme vague and mysterious, but one thing we can be fairly certain of is that it will be creepy!

Any kind of hints or speculation should be taken with a grain of salt: according to Entertainment Weekly, FX CEO John Landgraf said at the Television Critics Association that the teasers were designed to misdirect fans, and that he and Ryan Murphy "just thought [this year] it'd be really fun to keep it a mystery. So, we are." Ok! But you'll have to tell us eventually: it's premiering in exactly a month! Anyway, let's take a look at these new videos while it's still light outside.

Be careful with back-to-school supplies:
