American Horror Story: Hotel

By now, we know the drill when it comes to American Horror Story teasers and opening credits. Creepy imagery here, desolate locales there, performers in spooky makeup, et cetera, and so on. So arrives the American Horror Story: Hotel opening credits, albeit with a strangely commanding religious twist.

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.

American Horror Story: Hotel has opened a few doors in advance of its October 7 premiere, debuting just a hint of footage with interviews of the cast, along with a look at the creepy new locale. Now, the full poster takes us even deeper into the Hotel Cortez, along with a few new photos of the latest American Horror Story.

Sure, American Horror Story: Hotel can serve up spooky teasers all the live-long day, but when it comes to footage, FX is finally allowing fans to check in. Ring the bell for your official first look at Season 5, and preview what Sarah Paulson calls the bloodiest, hottest season yet.

The usual round of creeptastic American Horror Story teases had Hotel looking a bit familiar, but does the full cast trailer open new doors on the “reinventions” FX promised us? Gander at Gaga, Bomer, Sarah Paulson and all the rest with our freakiest, showiest look yet at American Horror Story: Hotel.

More and more each year, TV executives quake in their stylish, yet affordable boots over the exponential increase in peak TV, even as us ravenous viewers eagerly take it all in. Fall 2015 is no exception, cramming your DVR with everything from superheroes new and old, to Scream-ing gore-fests, animated staples and so much more. You’d need some sort of … television … guidance … periodical to navigate it all, but because we love you, we’ve compiled over 30 of Fall 2015's biggest must-see premieres. Remember to sleep, and take in the onslaught of fall 2015's TV madness by our full preview!

Mileage may vary as to which American Horror Story season proved the strongest, though we’ve at least grown accustomed to their yearly Halloween presence. That is, until series creator Ryan Murphy crafts his scariest move of all, potentially placing two separate fall and spring seasons of American Horror Story in 2016.

American Horror Story: Hotel had nothing to show by its presence at Comic-Con 2015, but with filming in full swing, Season 5 is dripping an elevator’s worth of fresh blood. Not only do we have our first photos of the cast, but also fresh details on a “drillbit dildo” killer, connections to the first season, and much more.

FX bosses may have billed American Horror Story: Hotel as a light reinvention of the series, especially with Jessica Lange no longer front and center, but the return of Ryan Murphy’s famously psycho teasers feels perfectly familiar. There’s a guy with no eyes, and maybe even some Gaga in the latest two sneak peeks!

Considering its October premiere, American Horror Story: Hotel has kept fairly well under wraps, likely owing to the limited filming block available to new star Lady Gaga. Now, Gaga’s Hotel character has stepped out onto the streets in full fashion view, but what might it reveal about Season 5?
