'American Horror Story: Coven' surprised us a few weeks back with a new season 3 teaser that revealed actual footage, as opposed to the nonsensical daily teasers, and now they've conjured up our best look yet. Kathy Bates' misery-able side is on full display in the latest trailer for 'American Horror Story: Coven,' along with some seriously scary beasts, and some witchy wonders to come!

Not only does the latest trailer give us a sneak peek of Bates' Madame LaLaurie as she carries out cruel and gruesome mythology-based tortures on her slave victims, but also the rivalry with Angela Bassett's voodoo character Marie Laveau. "She done messed with with the wrong witch," warns Bassett. "Too late for tears. Damage is done."

We also get a look at some seriously southern vibes from the New Orleans setting, complete with boisterous preachers, vicious man-eating gators, and a heaping helping of heat for any captured witches! And say, was that some spoileriffic looks at the fate that befalls Evan Peters' character?

Along with the official footage and cast portraits that have made their way online, we know that the third season of Ryan Murphy’s breakout horror hit will move back and forth between both present and 1830s New Orleans in a battle between witches and voodoo. ‘American Horror Story: Coven’ will also welcome newcomers Danny Huston, Christine Ebersole, Emma Roberts, Patti LuPone, Leslie Jordan and Gabourey Sidibe, along with returning franchise regulars Jessica Lange, Taissa Farmiga, Frances Conroy, Lily Rabe, Denis O’Hare, Alexandra Breckinridge, Frances Conroy, and Sarah Paulson.

We're just days away from the October 9 premiere of 'American Horror Story: Coven' now, so get a fresh look at season 3 in the trailer above, and tell us what terrifying terrors you hope to see in the comments!
