Oh, Zachary Quinto, how we have missed you on our TVs!

The artist formerly known as Heroes' Sylar (who recently came out publicly) is making his debut on FX's American Horror Story this Wednesday, playing a gay former owner of the house.

And ohhhhh, from the video was just scored, we can tell you he still does creepy like nobody's business. We. Love. It.

This Wednesday's episode is the first of a big Halloween two-parter—the second episode will air on Halloween night.

Quinto is set to appear in at least four episodes as Chad, the former gay owner of the haunted house who becomes friends with Connie Britton's character Vivien.

Only hitch?

Quinto himself reveals he's "recently dead."

Well, that's gonna put a damper on Viv's new BFFery!
