American Horror Story: Hotel - 10 Exciting Things Fans Already Know

5. The Paper Coffee Cup With Top-Hat Is A Season 5 Clue

There's a good chance that you missed the moment where a cop gives Maggie a polystyrene cup with a top hat on it in Freak Show, but according to Murphy, this is a major clue for season 5. Now, this could be a number of things really: perhaps it means there will be some sort of "magic" act in the Hotel, or it may have something to do with "Operation Top Hat," where the United States Army Chemical Corps personnel tested biological and chemical warfare decontamination methods in the 1950s, or perhaps the hat will just be the logo for the hotel. Time will presumably tell.
