Sex and violence IS "AHS: Hotel" and the cast members reveal behind-the-scenes details about making the Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk anthology series.
It's no surprise to "American Horror Story" fans that more skin, blood and violence will characterize the latest "AHS: Hotel" series, especially with Lady Gaga headlining. There have been a lot of first times for the cast, including sex scenes and even nudity for some.
Lady Gaga, for instance, was quite uncomfortable working with a character such as the Countess. In an interview with Variety, she said, "I find it funny that people wonder if that's just the way that I really am, so this was very easy for me to just kind of walk in here with my blonde hair on and just be a bitch and be rude to everyone and that's just what I do, because you've seen me do something like that before."
"The truth is that it's actually very challenging to be sincere when you have all of that on. It's not comfortable. It's never been comfortable for me," the countess of "AHS: Hotel" added.
Another veteran cast member of "AHS: Hotel" also shared her unconventional experience making the anthology series. Cast member Angela Bassett who plays Ramona said in the same media that, "Being in a sexual situation with the Countess, having to sign a nudity waiver about how it was going to go, that was the scariest [moment]."
Other cast members of "AHS: Hotel" include veterans Sarah Paulson, Kathy Bates, Evan Peters, Chloe Sevigny and Denis O'Hare who has transformed into Liz Taylor in the current season.
Meanwhile, other cast members have already shared details of their dream characters to play after "AHS: Hotel" and the next "American Horror Story" season pushes forward. Evan Peters shared with DesignNTrend that, "Maybe some kind of handicapped [character] or something. That'd be interesting to try to challenge myself to play."
"AHS: Hotel" cast returns for episode 7 titled "Flicker" on Nov. 18.
