Carrie Ann Inaba, judge on "Dancing With the Stars" This week's Best bets Stars on Screen 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 today'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 season out, she just couldn't stay away; she'll be reprising her role from the sec- ond season ("American Horror Story: Asylum") of Sister Mary Eunice and will provide some important 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 Ellen DeGeneres ("The Ellen DeGeneres Show"). Joining Harris on screen in the series finale will be his hus- A 'freaky' fi nale 'American Horror Story' lines up the end of season guest stars band, actor and chef, David Burtka ("A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas," 2011). The two have appeared on screen together previously in CBS's "How I Met Your Mother," 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 actors playing different char- acters with each season. "Freak Show" has been something of an exception to this rule, with a few characters from "Asylum" making appearances. Look for all of these exciting guest appearances in "American Horror Story: Freak Show" later this season on FX. Terrifying television: Halloween 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. The 10-episode TV series is scheduled to premiere in October 2015 (just in time for Halloween!) and will be pro- duced by the same minds behind the movie franchise: Wes Craven, Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein are all on board. As for the stars of this slasher series, confirmed actors include Willa Fitzgerald ("Royal Pains"), John Karna ("The Neighbors"), Bex Taylor-Klaus ("Arrow"), Connor Weil ("The Jadagrace Show"), Carlson Young ("As the Bell Rings"), Tracey Middendorf ("Boardwalk Empire") and Joel Gretsch ("Witches of East End"). Watch for "Scream" to pre- miere on MTV in October of next year.
