“American Horror Story” fans better prepare themselves for the most ambitious season yet. Ryan Murphy revealed on Twitter that the upcoming eighth season of the long-running FX anthology series will be a crossover event in which the worlds from Season 1 (“Murder House”) and Season 3 (“Coven”) will come together.

“The ‘Coven’/’Murder’ House ‘Ahs’ crossover season won’t be happening next year…because it’s happening This Year,” Murphy tweeted. “‘Ahs’ #8 Witches Rule This September.”

“Murder House” kicked off the show in 2011 with the story of the Harmon family, played by Connie Britton, Taissa Farmiga, and Dylan McDermott.

Airport author Arthur Hailey has died aged 84 at his home in the Bahamas. The British-born writer of 11 best-selling novels, including Hotel and The Moneychangers, died in his sleep on Wednesday at his New Providence island home, where he settled with wife Sheila in 1969. He said of his books, which depicted ordinary people thrust into extraordinary situations, "I don't think I really invented anybody. I have drawn on life." Sheila says of her late husband, "Arthur was a very humble man but was delighted with the letters he used to get from readers praising his books. He was incredibly proud of them." Hailey had four sons and two daughters from two marriages. His body will be cremated in a private ceremony in Nassau this weekend.
