There was a lot to love about last night's episode of American Horror Story: Freak Show, but the highlight was surely Jessica Lange crooning Lana Del Rey's "Gods and Monsters."
Ms. Elsa Mars was all decked out in a slinky gown and matching gloves, with a boa (naturally) as she fondles the '50s-style mic and makes eyes at mysterious Edward Mordrake, played by Wes Bentley. Since last night's episode was the first of a two-part Halloween special, there are plenty of jack-o'-lanterns to set the mood, as well as the weird green smoke that heralds Mordrake's entrance. Plus, check out Ma Petite's tiny violin. (You can also hear a higher-quality version of the song here.)

Yep, this was definitely worth waiting for, no matter how afraid of clowns you are.
@ttbradley Tina, don't be afraid! The clown is scary, true. But don't you wanna see Jessica Lange sing a Lana Del Rey song?
