Macaulay Culkin has "crazy, erotic sex" with Kathy Bates in the new season of American Horror Story

Also appearing this season is Kathy Bates, who, per a new interview with Murphy, will welcome the one-time child actor into the franchise the old-fashioned way.

“So, I have this very, very great insane part. And I asked to speak to him on the phone and he said OK,” Murphy said in an interview with E! News. “[When] I cast, I never let people read things, usually. I said, ‘OK, here’s the pitch.’ And I told them the character and I told him he has crazy, erotic sex with Kathy Bates and does other things. And he paused and he goes, ‘This sounds like the role I was born to play.’ So, he signed up right then and there.” Murphy added that he sees “both a lightness and a darkness with Macaulay Culkin that I’m attracted to.”

We still don’t know much from the season, though Murphy did share a teaser image showing a pair of hands reaching over the side of a cliff as a gloomy ocean unfolds behind them.

So, uh, maybe the fuck outside? Regardless, we hope Culkin’s sex scene is nothing like Adam Levine’s from the second season. It still haunts us.
