5 The Daily Star, Oneonta, N.Y., Friday, November 21, 2014 By Andrew Warren TV Media A 'freaky' finale: What happens when you take one of the most unique TV shows from the past few years and bring on board a few of to- day's hottest commodities to guest star? Well, TV watchers will find out during the final few episodes of this season of "American Horror Story." The fourth season of FX's incredibly popular horror show, subtitled "Freak Show," will see the return of Lily Rabe ("All Good Things," 2010) in the 10th episode. It seems that, despite sitting this sea- son out, she just couldn't stay away; she'll be reprising her role from the second season ("American Horror Story: Asy- lum") of Sister Mary Eunice and will provide some impor- tant back story. Perhaps even more exciting than the return of Rabe, though, is the announcement that TV and Broadway star Neil Patrick Harris ("How I Met Your Mother") will be guest starring in the final two episodes of "Freak Show." Harris's name sure has been popping up a lot lately. He was recently announced as the upcoming host of the 87th Academy Awards this February, taking the reins from last year's acclaimed turn by talk show host Ellen DeGeneres ("The Ellen DeGe- neres Show"). Joining Harris on screen in the series finale will be his husband, actor and chef, Da- vid Burtka ("A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas," 2011). The two have appeared on screen together previously in CBS's "How I Met Your Moth- er," and "American Horror Story: Freak Show" will mark an on-screen reunion of sorts for the duo. "American Horror Story" is something that isn't seen often on television these days: an anthology series. Despite using largely the same actors from season to season, each outing is nonetheless self-contained, with the ac- tors playing different char- acters with each season. "Freak Show" has been something of an exception to this rule, with a few char- acters from "Asylum" mak- ing appearances. Look for all of these excit- ing guest appearances in "American Horror Story: Freak Show" later this sea- son on FX. Terrifying television: Hal- loween may be almost a month behind us, but that doesn't mean that the creepy shenanigans have stopped. MTV has ordered to series a project that's been in the works for a long time, and with an already built-in fan base, this small screen reboot of the "Scream" franchise may have a winning formula. "Scream" (1996) and its two following installments (1997 and 2000) were incred- ibly popular with the millen- nial generation, and their leg- acy has endured so much that another chapter, "Scream 4," was released in 2011. The 10-episode TV series is scheduled to premiere in Oc- tober 2015 (just in time for Halloween!) and will be pro- duced by the same minds be- hind the movie franchise: Wes Craven, Harvey Wein- stein and Bob Weinstein are all on board. Watch for "Scream" to premiere on MTV in October of 2015.
