The promo clip had just dropped for "American Horror Story: Hotel" and it just confirmed earlier spoilers that the theme of the season is addiction.

"We see the arm of a junkie - is it Sarah Paulson's Hypodermic Sally or Max Greenfield's dope fiend Gabriel? - as he/she prepares to shoot up. Only the needle is a key and the vein of choice is a key hole. What mystery is the addict unlocking?" said TVLine.

In an interview last month, Ryan Murphy dished spoilers to Entertainment Weekly as he said that they filmed the "most disturbing scene we've ever done." Based on overall creepiness of the "American Horror Story" franchise, that's saying a lot.

The monster in "American Horror Story: Hotel" is called The Addiction Demon whose photo was earlier published showing a humanoid transparent skin and without eyes wearing a metal dildo.

"He is a representation of that and what people go through fighting addiction," he said. "It's not done lightly or blithely. I think it's very powerful and strong."

Lady Gaga will play Elizabeth who owns the hotel where the events will take place.

"She is sort of a very wealthy social doyenne who is consumed with art and fashion and people and she has a nefarious plan that is revealed in the first episode and plays out over the course of the season," the director said. "She starts shooting on Monday."

During the Television Critics Association panel in Beverly Hills, California, Kathy Bates also teased spoilers for "American Horror Story: Hotel" as she said, "I play Iris. I run the hotel. I have relationships with Matt Bomer and with Wes, and I can't stand [Sarah Paulson], I hate you. And I don't know yet if I get to work with Angela, I hope I do. And Liz Taylor and I have a very close relationship, and I do crossword puzzles in my spare time."

Sarah Paulson, meanwhile, will play a drug addict in "American Horror Story: Hotel"

"My character this year is quite dark. I think she's sexy," she said.
