Macaulay Culkin has "crazy, erotic sex" with Kathy Bates in the new season of American Horror Story
Aux Features TV
It’s with a weary sigh that we greet every new season of Ryan Murphy’s undead American Horror Story, but, to Murphy’s credit, each outing brings with it at least one interesting wrinkle. Last year, that was its campy approach to the slashers of yesteryear, and this year it’s the casting of one-time child star Macaulay Culkin, who stars in the 10th season alongside old hands like Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Billie Lourd, and Lily Rabe.
Also appearing this season is Kathy Bates, who, per a new interview with Murphy, will welcome the one-time child actor into the franchise the old-fashioned way.
“So, I have this very, very great insane part. And I asked to speak to him on the phone and he said OK,” Murphy said in an interview with E! News. “[When] I cast, I never let people read things, usually. I said, ‘OK, here’s the pitch.’ And I told them the character and I told him he has crazy, erotic sex with Kathy Bates and does other things. And he paused and he goes, ‘This sounds like the role I was born to play.’ So, he signed up right then and there.” Murphy added that he sees “both a lightness and a darkness with Macaulay Culkin that I’m attracted to.”
We still don’t know much from the season, though Murphy did share a teaser image showing a pair of hands reaching over the side of a cliff as a gloomy ocean unfolds behind them.
So, uh, maybe the fuck outside? Regardless, we hope Culkin’s sex scene is nothing like Adam Levine’s from the second season. It still haunts us.

Now that’s a sentence I never thought I’d actually read.
I mean, who hasn’t?
“Ok, here’s the pitch…!”
I usually decry clickbait headlines, but there’s no way I wasn’t clicking on that headline.
But you dared to hope…
But … but … the age difference!
It’s the mileage, not the years.
They read my, er, friend’s erotic fanfic!
…from the mind of Tina Belcher…
The one that my, er, friend jacked me off to for the first time.
culkin is such a weird, amazing guy.
My focus would never be on Mr. Culkin, but Kathy Bates is just amazing on many levels. So this kind of thing would be a weird way to bait a perfect trap for me.
yeah i mean of the two bates is the shining star, but i really do appreciate culkin as a person and an actor (party monster is such an underrated movie in all its campy glory).
He seems like a pretty cool and centered dude for someone who hit the big time at such a young age and, on paper, should accordingly be on a downward spiral. I hope his AHS role sparks a Culkinissance.
i’ve followed him through bunny ears the webpage and the podcast and tbh he’s so aware and well adjusted despite the early stardom and abusive parents. he had a nice talk w wil wheaton about the terrors of ‘show parents’ and celebrity a while back that was harsh and candid and tbh also pretty hilarious. i wish him the best and am always glad to see him back on the screen occasionally.
Living the dream, eh Macaulay?
I guess I picked the right week to never start watching AHS.
I’m listening.
This is not the early 90s nostalgia I was looking for.
Man the next episode of Half in the Bag is going to be fun.
This won’t get me to watch the show, but when that episode debuts I’ll probably read about and try to find a clip. What a oddly perfect pairing.
Well, I saw Precious based on the novel Push by Sapphire get banged by a minotaur on that show, so….
Well, let’s face it, it’d be a missed opportunity for Bates and Culkin to have tame, vanilla sex.
