Although originally we were told that FX would be airing its special two-part Halloween episode of “American Horror Story” on the 26th and 31st of October, they’ve decided to mix things up a bit. Part 1 will still be on the 26th, but you’ll have to wait until November 2nd for Part 2 because in its place will be a four-episode “AHS” marathon on Monday, October 31st, beginning at 10:00 PM E/P.

Here are the full details from the “American Horror Story” Facebook page:

FX will air a special Halloween marathon of the new hit drama “American Horror Story” featuring the first four episodes of the series on Monday, October 31st, beginning at 10:00 PM E/P. In addition to the Halloween marathon, series co-creators and executive producers Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk have produced a special two-part Halloween-themed episode in honor of the horror-filled holiday; the first hour airs Wednesday, October 26th, at 10:00 PM ET/PT, and the second airs Wednesday, November 2nd, at the same time. Feature film star Zachary Quinto (Star Trek) guest stars in both episodes as one of the house’s former owners.
