Pics: Lady Gaga throws bloody party for American Horror Story castmates

There’s only one thing to do when you’re the new girl on the block: Throw a massive party.

That’s just what Lady Gaga did over the weekend, throwing a big bash in her secluded Los Angeles home for the cast of American Horror Story: Hotel, in which she plays the hotel owner in the upcoming season.

Show creator Ryan Murphy and co-star Sarah Paulson were the first to drop hints about the bash, saying they’d both had a strange dream about the cast heading to Gaga’s house “and at midnight swam in her pool that she dyed blood red just for us”.

As it turns out: It was no dream. Gaga didn’t share too many pictures on social media – as she said in a post, “Sorry #AHSfans, there’s few pictures. At my parties, killer friends have more fun, when no evidence is left behind.” However, she did share a few design details from the soiree:

Then there’s that blood-red pool (looks more like tomato soup to us – yes, that may just be sour grapes because we weren’t invited to the party of the year):

And here’s the hostess herself looking fab:

And so, the big question: Did Gaga impress her cast mates? Well, it’s safe to say Kathy Bates is a fan:

Was it Norma Desmond, Jean Harlow or Marilyn Monroe descending the staircase towards me in a shimmering silver gown? No, it was @ladygaga!

Gaga will play a ‘villainous bisexual socialite‘ in the new season, which will air in the UK in November.
