‘American Horror Story: Asylum’ doesn’t start until next week but FX has done a wonderful thing and as released the first 5 minutes of the episode. If there was any doubt that this season couldn’t have possibly upped the ante on freaky and weird, then this footage should blow that all away.

And speaking of blow, the first 5 minutes is truly a raunchy exercise of voyeurism as it follows Leo (played by Adam Levine) and his new bride Tessa (played by Jenna Dewan) who are on a “Haunted Honeymoon Tour” and are visiting the “12 most haunted places in America” while “(screwing their) brains out in every single one.” The footage also sets the tone of the entire series as it takes place in modern day with the newlyweds giving a short history of Briarcliff Manor as they explore (among other things) the dilapidated structure.

Also included is the opening title sequence to Season 2 which had it been released on its own, is enough to sell you on the series.

The 5 minute footage was released on the show’s Facebook page but we have a low res version you can see below. If you’d like to watch it in higher detail (after all, it does feature Adam Levine!) then click here.

All that can be left to say is strap on that straight jacket because ‘American Horror Story: Asylum’ is going to give your sanity a ride of its life!
