“Lizzie Borden took an axe…”

The teaser trailer for Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story has arrived, and the near-one minute first look at the next season of Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan‘s Emmy-winning Netflix anthology is set to the eerie nursery rhyme created around the trial of Lizzie Borden — who is the controversial subject of the fourth season.

Ella Beatty stars as the first female lead in the hit anthology series as Borden, alongside Charlie Hunnam, who portrayed Ed Gein in season three. The trailer (below) features Borden wielding an axe, complete with a bloody face after the fact. Hunnam speaks the final line in the rhyme.

All eight episodes premiere Sept. 17 on Netflix.
