'American Horror Story: Hotel' plot news: Trailer revealed
A trailer has been released to excite fans for the upcoming season of "American Horror Story: Hotel."
The season 5 trailer is titled "Above and Below" featuring dark and twisted scenes, showing Lady Gaga as the Countess. The trailer uses the Rammnstein single "Du Hast," which played while the Countess stepped off a vintage elevator in an elegant dress. As she walks down the hallway, children are seen playing games. While they play with the Countess, the room turns dark and shows a neon leash attached to the children. The trailer sets the mood of absurdity, which is expected in the upcoming season.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Lady Gaga recently shared details about her character. She said, "The Countess is a very old soul. She's extremely strong. She's been through so much. It's kind of impossible for anything to penetrate her. This show in many ways is about her survival and there is an amazing journey that touches on the mythology of viruses and in what way these afflictions change our lives and bring us together and tear us apart."
