Lady Gaga stars in a new trailer for FX’s upcoming “American Horror Story: Hotel.”
In the teaser, titled “Above & Below,” the pop star slinks through the hotel’s numerous levels, dancing, reading to kids and holding them on leashes. The clip also features an up-close look at the jeweled glove her character uses to kill her victims.
Gaga joins the horror anthology series for the new season, playing “The Countess,” a wealthy socialite who owns a downtown Los Angeles hotel. The character is torn between her two lovers, played by Finn Wittrock and Matt Bomer. All three are afflicted with a virus causing them to crave human blood.

Co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk executive produce. Tim Minear, Brad Buecker, Jennifer Salt, James Wong and Alexis Martin Woodall also serve as executive producers.
