PaleyFest 2014 Closing Night: American Horror Story Coven

It was the closing night of the 31st Annual PaleyFest, and the witches were out at Covenwarts for the American Horror Story: Coven panel of cast and creators. This was the first time the Paley Center for Media has ever honored a miniseries. The ultimate TV fan festival took place in Hollywood's Dolby Theatre to a packed house of studious Supremes.

The CBS reboot is currently being written by Christopher Keyser ( Party of Five ). With so many reboots happening in film, and now TV, it seems very little will be left fully untouched by the near future. I will check the Book of Shadows for a spell to stop this.
