Checking in?

You won't want to at this inn. The Ryan Murphy-produced hit "American Horror Story" returns on Oct. 7 with its latest installment, "Hotel."

The series typically retains several cast members and gives them completely new roles to play; this season will include Matt Bomer, Kathy Bates, Lily Rabe and Sarah Paulson -- series regulars.

But there will be one new, very powerful addition to the cast this year: Pop superstar Lady Gaga will join as the hotel owner in the newest season.

Entertainment Weekly posted new teasers from the scary show -- one of them features an eyeless man slamming on a door. Yikes!

Gaga is clearly excited for her "AHS" debut. Her Instagram bio currently lists her as "Owner of 'Hotel' Cortez in Los Angeles."

Earlier in August, Murphy gave a few details about Gaga's character: "She owns the hotel and she is sort of a very wealthy social doyenne who is consumed with art and fashion and people," he explained. "She has a nefarious plan that is revealed in the first episode that plays out of the course of the season."

"She has a nefarious plan that is revealed in the first episode that plays out of the course of the season," he said.

This season will have plenty of new faces, including Naomi Campbell and Max Greenfield.
