“American Horror Story: Hotel” cast revealed, Lady Gaga starring

“American Horror Story: Hotel” debuts Oct 7, and as the premiere creeps up, all of the cast members’ characters — including that of Lady Gaga, who will play the owner of the haunted hotel — have finally been revealed, Variety reports.

Co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, along with the cast, offered up details Friday at FX’s Television Critics Assn. press tour.

Murphy said that the “Hotel” idea was inspired by a surveillance video from a Los Angeles-based hotel that surfaced two years ago. The footage showed a girl in an elevator who was never seen again.

“It is called ‘Hotel,’ and it’s set in a hotel,” Murphy said, disclosing that the season will be set in downtown LA. “We deal with a lot of American horrors, [including] addiction.”
