Way to stick it us, “American Horror Story: Coven.”
The third iteration of Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s “American Horror Story,” which includes newcomers such as Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett and Gabourey Sidibe, is set more than 300 years after the Salem witch trials, with those who managed to escape the trials facing extinction. Mysterious attacks have been escalating against their kind, and young girls are being sent away to a special school in New Orleans to learn how to protect themselves.
“American Horror Story: Coven” premieres Oct. 9. Until then, let this keep you awake at night.
