Lena Dunham Joins 'American Horror Story' & the Reaction Is Scary
Never mind "IT" trailers, the most horrifying thing on the Internet last night to "American Horror Story" viewers was the news from Ryan Murphy that "Girls" alum Lena Dunham would be in AHS Season 7.
Murphy is revealing the title of Season 7 today during Comic-Con, but first he shared some new casting scoop:
Thrilled that my talented friend Lena Dunham is joining the AMERICAN HORROR STORY family. Always wanted to work together, and now we r!

The replies, and the comments for just about every story on the news, carry the same basic message:

Dunham has become a polarizing figure over the years, from troubling revelations in her book to the recent controversy with a returned rescue dog. However, Deadline reports that Dunham will only be in one episode, so it's not like she'll have the lead part. It might even be a great little guest role, we'll see.
AHS Season 7 is said to be loosely based on the 2016 presidential election, and more details are expected later today during Comic-Con.
Official American Horror Story Season 7 title will be revealed Thursday July 20. And suddenly... it will all make sense.
