‘American Horror Story: Hotel’ Hides Under the Bed in First Clip

Considering its debut a week away, American Horror Story: Hotel hasn’t exactly had an open-door policy with actual footage. Now, however, last night’s Scream Queens scared up a taste of AHS’ fifth season, and you can all now sleep in fear of New Girl’s Max Greenfield lurking under your bed.

As debut over Ryan Murphy’s FOX arm, our latest (brief) look at American Horror Story: Hotel sees Wes Bentley’s Detective John Lowe settling down for a peaceful night’s rest, unaware of of the New Girl star passed out under the bed. Greenfield will actually take the role of Gabriel, a Hollywood junkie, and yet Sarah Paulson’s “Hypodermic Sally” is nowhere in sight.

Debuting on October 7, so reads the American Horror Story: Hotel premiere synopsis:

“Checking In”

Detective and family man John Lowe investigates a chain of gruesome murders in Los Angeles. A mysterious tip points him to the enigmatic Hotel Cortez.

Written by Ryan Murphy & Brad Falchuk; directed by Ryan Murphy.

Elsewhere, the Hotel cast thus far includes Cheyenne Jackson and Lady Gaga, returning Coven alum Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Asylum star Chloe Sevigny, Freak Show guests Finn Wittrock, Matt Bomer, and franchise regulars Lily Rabe, Denis O’Hare, Evan Peters and Sarah Paulson. FX boss John Landgraf described American Horror Story Season 5 as an “unusually large reinvention” of the series, while Jessica Lange remains open to appearances in future seasons.

Season 5 will premiere on October 7, but what can we make of the latest look at American Horror Story: Hotel?
