In 2015, after “Hotel’s” premier, Ryan Murphy sat down with Collider to talk about the new season. During the interview, Murphy was asked what made “Hotel” different. Murphy took the opportunity to talk about how terrifying he found the newest season.
“For me, it’s incredibly terrifying because it brings out fears that I have, which is people being under my hotel bed. I’ve always been freaked out by that,” he explained. He also elaborated a little more on a general difference by mentioning Gaga’s influence on the season. “I think it’s sexier than any other season we’ve done, in particular, because of the ‘Gaga’ of it. I would say scarier and sexier…”
After confessing to having a serious fear of people hiding under his hotel room bed, he was asked if filming “Hotel” helped him get over that. “No. It’s made it worse,” Murphy answered bluntly. “We’re shooting a scene where somebody comes out of a mattress, so that’s been terrifying. We built a mattress that somebody has been sown into […] and was not dead.”
To be fair to Murphy, hotels can be incredibly unsettling places. Sleeping in a room that thousands of people have been in understandably feels unnatural to some people. There could be someone hiding in there, or cameras, or something sinister left behind. It’s sometimes hard to feel safe in such a foreign place crawling with strangers, which is why a hotel is a perfect setting for “AHS.”
