American Horror Story co-creator Ryan Murphy has hinted we might be seeing a return of the Rubber Man in the upcoming tenth season.

Fans of the show will remember the creepy rubber b****** from the very first season - American Horror Story: Murder House - and it looks like we could be seeing more of him when the tenth season drops.

Sharing a photo of the character on Instagram Murphy wrote: "Coming soon..."

Fans are already speculating that the post could mean Rubber Man will be back to scare us all senseless again.

The rubber suit - initially bought by Chad and Patrick in season one to liven up their sex lives - has since been donned by murderous teen Tate Langdon and later his son Michael.

Rubber Man returned in season 8, Apocalypse, and now it looks like he might be back for a third season.

For now, we don't know much about season ten, but we do know that many of the series favourite stars will be back including Kathy Bates, Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson and Lily Rabe.

Macaulay Culkin will also be making his first ever appearance on the show, which caused a bit of a stir with fans. So much so that it wasn't long before Culkin was trending on Twitter, prompting the actor to jokingly post: "I just woke up and saw I was trending. Can someone explain what's going on? Did I die again??"

Teasing the tenth season earlier this year, Murphy shared a creepy image which shows a pair of hands desperately clinging to a grassy cliff edge, with a large body of water lying below - writing alongside it: "Things are beginning to wash up on shore... "

Fans of the creepy show will also be delighted to learn that there will be at least three more seasons after this one, too.

John Landgraf, chairman of FX Networks and FX Productions, announced the news in a statement earlier this year.

He said: "Ryan and Brad [Falchuck] are the undisputed masters of horror TV, having created the anthological limited series with American Horror Story and sustaining its success for nearly a decade as FX's highest-rated series.

"We are grateful to them and Dana Walden and our studio partners for committing to another three years.

"AHS has showcased a wealth of award-winning actors since day one and we appreciate the contributions of everyone, including Ryan, Brad and fellow executive producers Tim Minear, James Wong, Alexis Martin Woodall and Bradley Buecker, the writers, directors, cast and crew for each new, unforgettable instalment of American Horror Story."

American Horror Story season 10 will air later on this year.
