Yesterday was a big day on Twitter, and for a decent amount of time, Macaulay Culkin was trending after Ryan Murphy announced on his Instagram that the former child star would be a part of Season 10 of American Horror Story. This brought a lot of attention from not only fans of the show, but people who were just generally excited to see Culkin act again. After the actor saw the amount of attention he was receiving on Twitter, he took to his own account to ask people if he had died again.

 

I just woke up and saw I was trending. Can someone explain what's going on? Did I die again??

Some admitted that they were going to tune in, despite not being fans in the first place.

I don't even watch #AHS and I am thrilled Macaulay Culkin is joining the cast!

Others admitted to forgetting about the actor completely.

Of course, the Home Alone jokes were dropped left and right.

the theme of #AHS season 10 should be about Macaulay Culkin who has become agoraphobic and has refused to go outside since he was left home alone as a kid and had to battle two burglars…but now his house is possessed by demons pic.twitter.com/i1hTmSuhCm

I just read that Macaulay Culkin is joining the cast of AHS. Am I wrong to hope for the Home Alone/Horror mash up I never knew I needed?.
