We've been eagerly awaiting confirmation of rumors and speculation about the upcoming season of American Horror Story for months, but today Ryan Murphy himself has validated our darkest fears (in a good way) via twitter: We now have an official title for Season 4.

American Horror Story: Freak Show it is!  It seems like last week's confirmation of the "Carnival" theme is holding up after all, with numerous guesses and internet memes divining the subject matter months ago.

No word yet on when the new season will be making it's debut, but our fantasy cast list is still growing.

Some ideas we've been conjuring up? Lily Rabe and Sarah Paulson as murderous siamese twins. Taissa Farmiga as the bearded lady's angsty daughter.  A heavily made up Dylan McDermott as the Elephant Man?

We could keep going, but we'll let your imaginations run wild.
