American Horror Story: Wondering Why the Hotel Cortez's Carpet Looks Familiar?

American Horror Story's Hotel Cortez is a relic from the past, in more ways than one. If you caught last week's season premiere, you may have been struck by a certain decor element: the Cortez's blocky carpet pattern. The red, orange, and black color combination looks so familiar, doesn't it? Especially in the octagonal pattern? Have you seen this rug somewhere before? Well, if you're a horror fan (and you'd have to be to be watching TV's most terrifying series), it's very likely that you've seen something very close to it before.
