For native New Yorkers, the next season of American Horror Story will hit a little close to home. 

That's right: season 11 of FX's crime anthology series will be called American Horror Story: NYC. The new chapter will premiere on Oct. 19 with the season's first two episodes, followed by two episodes each Wednesday for four subsequent weeks. 

"New Season. New City. New Fears," the series wrote on their Twitter account alongside a snap of a woman dressed in leather and spikes. "FX's AHS:NYC premieres 10.19 on FX. Stream on Hulu."

The cast includes a mix of AHS veterans and newbies, including Zachary Quinto (who starred on seasons one and two of the series) as well as Sandra Bernhard and Charlie Carver, who have both collaborated with creator Ryan Murphy before, but never on Horror Story. The ensemble will also include big names like Patti LuPone, Billie LourdJoe Mantello, Leslie Grossman, Isaac Powell and Denis O'Hare.

Eyewitnesses saw Lourd, Powell, Bernhard and Carver sporting '70s and '80s ensembles matching a period-accurate set.

Fan accounts suspect that season 11 will focus on the Son of Sam's murderous rage in the late '70s. The serial killer, whose real name was David Berkowitz, murdered six people and wounded seven others in New York City from 1976 until his capture in 1977. 

Watch all the frights unfold when American Horror Story season 11 premieres Oct. 19 at at 10 p.m. ET on FX.
