Meet the Cast of American Horror Story: Hotel

American Horror Story—easily one of the most twisted shows on TV—is back for another season of fright. This season, scary is equally as sexy thanks to a cast featuring Lady Gaga, Matt Bomer, and Sarah Paulson. Check out each of the stars in full Hotel drag, and catch up on everything we know (so far).

AHS: Hotel premieres Wednesday, Oct. 7 on FX.

A vampire of sorts, the Countess is a wealthy, bisexual social doyenne, who is consumed with art, fashion and people.

Donovan is in a relationship with the Countess (Gaga). Ryan Murphy teased that Donovan, the Countess, and Wittrock’s character will be entangled in some sort of love triangle.

Miss Royale is a sexy actress who visits the hotel often and has a close bond with Elizabeth.

Drake is a "fashion icon" and father who recently moved from New York City to Los Angeles. He takes an interest in Hotel Cortez.

Detective Lowe is a married man also suffering from a great family loss. His investigation into some murders leads him to the hotel.

Tristan is a male model searching to fill a void that it seems only the Countess can fulfill.

“Hypodermic” Sally is a drug addict who lives at the hotel. This is Paulson’s first villain on the anthology series and someone Murphy describes as “the baddest girl of them all.”

Iris runs the hotel — at least from the front desk — and can’t stand Sally (Paulson).

Alex is a doctor and wife of Det. Lowe (Bentley). She’s also mother and trying to come to terms with a substantial loss in her family.

According to O’Hare, he’s clean-shaven from head to “other parts” and got drag tips from Alaska.  

Not much is known outside the fact that he’ll be a guest "checking into Room 64."

Mare Winningham as Ms. Evers. She's more than just a housekeeper at this hotel.
