American Horror Story script stolen - A script containing a very critical scene from the 'American Horror Story: Freak Show' has been stolen and is allegedly being shopped to several media outlets.

The stolen script is said to contain important details about one of the FX horror series main characters. It was reportedly stolen on a set in New Orleans last week.

The American Horror Story script was pilfered when one of the actors forgot it on set after reading it during filming. 

TMZ says the stolen script contains information about how Pepper (Naomi Grossman's character) ended up at Briacliff Manor, where Asylum, the season 2 of the FX horror drama series, took place.

The producers of the show, which has aired for 6 out of the planned 13 seasons, have reacted to the theft of the script.  

"The theft and unauthorized distribution of our scripts is a very serious matter and we will take all appropriate steps necessary to vigorously protect our intellectual property," 20th Century Fox TV said in a statement.

The producers of the famous American Horror Story series are reputed for being secretive and taking measures to prevent the leakage of any information concerning the story until a few weeks before it airs. Some of the actors have been quoted saying that the production team insists on keeping everything under wraps and that they don't even know what will happen with their characters until they are given their next scripts.

The 'American Horror Story: Freak Show' is the fourth season of the FX horror television series the American Horror Story. This season of the show is set in 1952 in Jupiter, Fl; where one of the last remaining freak shows in America still operates.
