Matthew Morrison certainly knows how to make an entrance.
The Glee actor (and his character’s rather large, um, appendage) is one of the major surprises in the cast announcement for American Horror Story: 1984.

As implied by the teaser released earlier this year, AHS: 1984 appears to be an homage to slashers of the 1980s, particularly the summer camp-set Friday the 13th. Of course, this could also turn into a wildly different show given the series’ penchant for plot twists a la Roanoke and Apocalypse.
AHS: 1984 premieres Sept. 18 on FX.
