Not exactly the Four Seasons. After teasing Us with several 15-second teasers over the past few weeks, FX Network has finally released the first full-cast trailer for American Horror Story: Hotel, featuring Lady Gaga, Matt Bomer, Chloe Sevigny, Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, and more!
The 30-second clip, posted to YouTube on Thursday, Sept. 10, takes AHS fans on a star-studded tour through the hallways of the creepy hotel. Each cast member appears only briefly on screen — seriously, blink and you’ll miss ’em! — but who wants to linger anyway?
The video is loaded with tons of appropriately chilling imagery, including a blender full of blood, a mattress containing a body, and several ghostly pale children with dead black eyes — all dressed in little black suits with knee socks.
Gaga, 29, makes her debut at the very end of the clip. At first you see only her back, and a cascade of blonde hair trailing behind her and lining the hallway like a carpet. Then, just before the title card appears, she whirls around for a split second to face the camera.
As Us Weekly exclusively reported last month, Gaga plays a several-hundred-year-old bloodsucker who owns the hotel and has 10 identical bloodsucking offspring. “They’re played by children and are very creepy!” a source told Us.
Show creator Ryan Murphy elaborated on the theme of the season to Entertainment Weekly, saying, “It’s not vampires. It’s really a form of hemophilia in a way. There’s no capes and fangs.”
