In the fifth season of American Horror Story, after the gruesome happenings at murder houses, insane asylums, witches covens and circus freakshows, the action took place in the mysterious and enigmatic Hotel Cortez setting in Downtown L.A. The horror anthology series also welcomed Lady Gaga to its ranks as 'Elizabeth Johnson aka The Countess', a resident of the hotel and a vampire over 100 years old.
