American Horror Story - Season 5 - Lily Rabe to Play Aileen Wuornos + Details On The Halloween Episodes

Thanks to Darkness for the heads up.

A final bit of news. When asked what the big plans were for the annual "American Horror Story" Halloween episode, Murphy confirmed that show alum Rabe would be joining them for the pivotal two-parter.

"We're doing a two-part, well, we always do a two-part Halloween episode, but our Halloween episode this year is called 'Devil's Night,'" said Murphy. "I'm directing it because I love the script so much, when we finished it I said, 'I can't give this to anybody else.' Lily Rabe is coming to that episode. And she's playing Aileen Wuornos, which is really fun and bizarre. I don't want to give too much away but I will tell you that she's at the centerpiece of that, and that's who she's playing."

And there you have it, or most of it. No doubt a parade of new, big-name cameos and characters will appear as the production moves forward. Surprise characters, gorgeous sets and the tackling of hot-topic issues are the things you can always count on in "American Horror Story" canon. That and Jessica Lange, but she's gone now, hopefully to someday return after her hiatus from television.

The 13-episodes series will air beginning Oct. 7.
