Check out the image gallery from FX's haunting interactive experience in support of Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's American Horror Story: 13.

By this time next weekend, we will have had close to 48 hours to pick over all of the clues and easter eggs contained in the first three chapters of Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's American Horror Story: 13. To help set the mood, FX sponsored a haunting interactive experience that brought together every chapter of the long-running horror anthology series. Set at nya studios EAST, FX's "AHS:13" saw fans set a chain reaction in motion, revealing bloodcurdling scares and Easter eggs from all 12 previous seasons. Each immersive area brought a new chapter of "American Horror Story" to life and required an interactive challenge to advance, inspired by a Rube Goldberg machine. For their final scare, guests were treated to a terrifying sneak peek at the series' 13th chapter, debuting this Thursday, September 24th.

The show's premiere night and week two will each feature three episodes, followed by a pair of episodes releasing each Thursday leading up to the 13th and final episode on October 29th. With that in mind, we have our first teaser for American Horror Story: 13 waiting for you below, followed by recent insights from Murphy and more.

Speaking with Vogue, Murphy dropped details on a musical number from Jessica Lange, Joey Pollari's character playing a key role, two of Evan Peters' characters having a one-on-one, and more. Here's a look at some of the highlights from the interview:

Jessica Lange Gets a Musical Number: While discussing pitching AHS 13 to Lange, Murphy shared that Lange said to him, "'Great. I'm in as long as I have a musical number."

Joey Pollari Serves as AHS 13's "Anchor": "I didn't want to just do a 'Coven' reboot. Everybody thinks that's what it is; it's not. I was very interested in the greatest villains we've done. And I felt that they only would come together if we had a new story anchored by a new person. That person is Joey Pollari." Speaking of Joey Pollari, he shared a look at some images from AHS 13 that were released via Vogue.

Murphy and Falchuk Had Some Serious Help Behind the Scenes to Make It All Work: "The writing of it was interesting because Brad Falchuk and I fell back into the writing. I had new lieutenants with Ned Martel and Charlie Carver. And [they] grew up loving 'American Horror Story,' so they knew all these characters. We just spent a long time working on it and filming it. It's 13 episodes. But what I was interested in was bringing back the baddies and the classic characters. That was my goal."

Murphy Teases a Tate/Rubber Man – Kai Scene for Evan Peters: "The person who I think had the hardest time was Evan, because in one scene he had to play Tate/Rubber Man and Kai. So he had to have a conversation with himself. And I thought it was like, 'Oh, this is going to be trouble.' But Evan is such a pro that I think it only took two takes."

Murphy on Everyone Getting Back Into "American Horror Story" Mode: "The interesting thing is all of the actors looked back and watched all of the seasons. We had a vocal coach. In some cases we had a movement coach. We had many of the wigs and the clothes in storage that I owned, so we were able to bring them out. But it was a process. And sometimes, even in the writing of it, I thought, Oh, God. It's going to take me a while to fall back into the writing rhythm of Constance. But it did not. I just was right back in it. Jessica said the same thing."

Checking in with The Hollywood Reporter, Murphy shared how essential it was to have Jessica Lange sign on, and that he fully understood why Ariana Grande needed to drop out of the season. But the biggest headline? Murphy is already mapping out American Horror Story Season 14.

American Horror Story Isn't Going Anywhere: Season 14 Is Being Worked On: "I have a great passion for that show, and [FX boss] John Landgraf has a great passion for that show. It's a very important show in my career. It's something that John said, 'As long as you want to keep making them, I'll keep airing them.' That's always been the idea behind it, which is very empowering," Murphy shared about the support the series receives. Murphy added, "Season 13 is not the end; I'm working on season 14 as we speak in terms of, 'What's the idea?' and 'Who wants to be in it?'"

American Horror Story: 13 Hinged on Jessica Lange Joining: "It all started with Jessica [Lange] because Jessica, after we did the first four seasons, wanted to go off and do different things, which I understood completely. But I reached out to her thinking she would say no, and if she had said no, I probably wouldn't have done it. She told me a story about how she was doing Broadway last season and she would go out after the show, and there were all of these young people who were there because they all watched her work on American Horror Story. And she was very moved by that. I said, 'Well, that's funny, because my idea is for you to do all four of your favorite characters.' And she said, 'Sign me up. I'd love to do it.' I was so grateful."

Ariana Grande Will Be Missed – And Possibly Joining The AHS Universe in The Future: "I love Ariana Grande. We're great friends. I had an idea and I came to her and she, very immediately, said, 'I'm not sure because I think I'm going on tour.' I don't think the tour had been announced, and she had obviously just finished the 'Wicked' movie. So when it came time to do that episode, I called her up and she was like, 'I don't know how I'm going to juggle the tour with this.' And I said, 'OK, if you can't, we can push to another season.' She said, 'Great.'

You have to be respectful. Who is busier than Ariana Grande? No one. She had told me at the time, 'I have this album that's dropping.' It was really, truly a scheduling conflict. I said, 'OK, we'll kick that can down the road,' and she said, 'Great.' Ariana is a big fan of horror. She's obviously done homages of that in her work; she did 'Scream Queens' for me and loved the experience, and people love her in that show. So I will always work with her. I love her, and I support her. It was a very big swing, but I might bring that back for another season, per Ariana's availability. I think the world of her."
