Fans of "American Horror Story" still have to wait until October for the creepy new installment, but the wait just got a little less painful! FX released 11 new images for the upcoming season. Each image features a different character that stays at hotel during the new season.
Like previous seasons of "American Horror Story," "Hotel" bounces through time starting in the 1930's with the rich and charming, but deeply psychotic James March. "He's the builder and owner of the hotel from the 1930s, and he is unique," says Evan Peters, who plays March, according to Entertainment Weekly. "He's designed a hotel to cater to his specific needs, which tend toward the dark evil."
The beautiful hotel is actually a labyrinthine structure built to hide March's murderous activities.
In modern times, the Cortez is run by The Countess. She is a glamorous socialite who attends art openings and fashion shows and maintains her looks not from a steady diet of kale, but from imbibing human blood, reports Entertainment Weekly.
The Countess also craves loves and sex, which leads to a love triangle between the similarly blood-thirsty Donovan and male model Tristan. Another old lover of The Countess, Romana Royale, also checks into the Cortez seeking revenge on its owner. Donovan's mother Iris works at the hotel so she can keep an eye on her son, even though he deplores her.
The character John Lowe is a detective for the LAPD that moves into the Cortez in order to investigate a series of murders by the Ten Commandments Killer, a serial-killer who arranges victims according to the biblical dictates. Other residents of the Cortez include Gabriel and Hypodermic Sally, both junkies, and a Vogue editor who checks into the hotel and regrets it.
"American Horror Story: Hotel" premieres Oct. 7 on FX.
