American Horror Story Season 4 Spoilers: Know What Emma Roberts' Character Is; Plus, Pepper Is Back!

The premiere of "American Horror Story" season 4 is nearing and little by little, we learn more about what "Freak Show" will be about.

While some of the characters have been revealed in previous reports, it is exciting to discover new information about "American Horror Story" season 4, including Emma Roberts' character.

According to a report, Emma Roberts, along with Denis O'Hare will play a con artist.

Another exciting tidbit is the return of Pepper, a microcephalic character from the show's first season. Rumors about Naomi Grossman's comeback to the Fox series first started in July. And now, it's confirmed.

"She is in this [season]," confirms "AHS" co-creator Ryan Murphy. He also explains that the latest season "is sort of what happened to Pepper before she went to the asylum."

Murphy shares a bit of the back story in this side of the plot, saying: "What Elsa has done for 20 years is she goes around to hospitals and jails and rescues these 'freak' circus performers who are going to be shipped away to asylums and she signs the waivers and she becomes the guardians."

While the general plot of "American Horror Story" season 4 has been revealed, the cast shares a detailed look at it with Entertainment Weekly as they talk about ther characters.

"My character is very manipulative," says Jessica Lange, who plays Elsa Mars. Her character is the owner of one of the last freak shows in America. "She understands what's needed and she provides it. However the thing I want to be very clear is that Elsa really loves these people. She truly cares for them in her own selfish narcissistic way. It's not just exploitation."

A sneak peek at the character of Twisty the Clown has been given through a teaser but Murphy discloses something that makes the evil murderer seem more vicious than he already is. "There's a point in the season where he takes the mask off and when you see what's under you will faint in terror," says Murphy.

"American Horror Story" season 4 will premiere on Oct. 8 at Fox.
