American Horror Story: 10 Things Freak Show Must Do Better Than Its Predecessors

8. Guest Stars

Previously there has been some excellent star turns by guest stars in American Horror Story. No one will look at a party Santa in the same way again after seeing Ian McShane being so menacing in Asylum. It came out of absolutely nowhere and probably confused a lot of British viewers who are more used to McShane being in Lovejoy. But there is one actor who needs to be involved in American Horror Story €“ and last year the writers wrote him a love letter. In one scene during Coven, Zoe grabs a chainsaw and goes to town on several zombies. That can only be a reference to Ash from The Evil Dead, aka Bruce Campbell. If they could somehow land Campbell in any role then it would be a triumph and a decent return to series television for such a great genre actor. But given the wide number of actors who have appeared over the past three years of the series, there is certainly room for one or more of them to appear in only an episode or two of Freak Show as a form of goodbye to Jessica Lange. Anyone of them could be a guest star in the forthcoming season. It would be wonderful to see Zachery Quinto and Dylan McDermott crop up in Freak Show, if only for an episode or two.
