AMERICAN Horror Story’s secret Buffy the Vampire Slayer crossover has been explained in a Murder House twist.
The hit FX series debuted in 2011 with Murder House, eight years after the final episode of Buffy aired on The WB channel in 2003.
But despite the gap in their broadcasts, the two shows are connected thanks to Buffy's fourth episode from season four.
Called 'Fear, Itself', the episode saw Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and her pals attend a fraternity's Halloween party at a huge mansion.
However, the Halloween decorations become real under the influence of an ancient fear demon called Gachnar, leading to plenty of drama for the gang.
As it turns out, the mansion used for that episode would go on to become THE Murder House in American Horror Story.
The first season of Ryan Murphy's anthology series focused on a cursed mansion where any guest or resident who dies on the premises must remain there in a sort of purgatory.
The real life house used in both shows is called Rosenheim Mansion and can be found in Country Club Park, Los Angeles.
It was built in 1908 on nearly an acre of land, and even has a former chapel on the property which is now a recording studio.
Built by architect Alfred Rosenheim, the six bed, five-bath property was most recently sold for $3.2 million in 2015.
While series nine – 1984 – came to an end in December last year, creator Ryan has already teased what fans could expect from season 10.
The 54-year-old first hinted at a space narrative for the season in an interview with Deadline, revealing: “We flirted with aliens, we flirted with space, we flirted with some things that were more interesting than others.
“I think that at the heart of it, it’s always about Americana.”
