American Horror Stories Releases Wonderfully Odd "Rubber" Teaser

Okay, this might be a pretty bold claim to make about a franchise like American Horror Story, one that has a reputation for some pretty jaw-droppingly impressive teasers and trailers. But the recent teaser for FX on Hulu's spinoff American Horror Stories might be the most oddly addictive one yet. So it takes place on the set of one of the earlier teasers, but not quite because Rubber Man and Rubber Woman are clearly in character. From there, it's like an awkward "wearing the same outfit at the club" vibe between the two as Rubber Woman explains the difference between the two shows. So does this mean we're going to have "Rubber Folks"? Is Rubber Woman a replacement? Is it wrong that they seem kind of cute together? Do we have serious issues? Well, at least a few of those questions will begin being answered this week.
