"[He's in] one of the most disturbing things we've ever done and a true horror scene," Murphy tells The Hollywood Reporter.
Also set to guest star is Murphy's good friend Neil Patrick Harris and his husband David Burtka. Earlier in October the show creator told reporters that he was close to having Harris on the show.
"I spoke to Neil a week ago," said Murphy. "He was fresh off his wedding. Obviously we have worked together before, I'm working on something and hopefully we will talk … He's game. He had very specific ideas of what he wanted to do, and I had very specific ideas, so we're melding them. He's awesome, one of our great entertainers."
According to TVLine, Harris will appear on episode 11 and 12 as a "chameleon salesman," while Burtka will be featured in episode 13— the season finale— in a storyline with Jessica Lange's character.
