The FX horror anthology on Wednesday* released a series of teasers (via Snapchat), offering up new hints about the sixth installment’s theme, which is still very much under wraps. In fact, all we really know for sure is that Season 6 will be “set in two time periods,” per FX boss Jonathan Landgraf.

Watch the teasers, which have migrated from Snapchat to Twitter, below:

As for casting, we know that several AHS alumni will return this fall, including Cheyenne Jackson, Angela Bassett, Evan Peters and Matt Bomer, though all of their characters remain hush-hush.

American Horror Story‘s sixth season premieres Wednesday, Sept. 14 at 10/9c.
