“I admire them, I honor them. I think they’re extraordinarily beautiful, each and every one of them and they all have style. So for me I’m just trying to honor them and be their cheerleader because I think they’re all great."

The cast's busy schedule included a poster signing on the convention floor. Curtis says the fandom was inspiring. "Ultimately, the appreciation that you get from people is so moving," she says. "The fans of horror films and fantasy and adventure and anime, these fans are the most loyal, dedicated group of people. You can't be jaded."

Emma Roberts and Lea Michele

Curtis has a surprising moniker for the show's young actresses��Emma Roberts and Lea Michele among them. "Any group of girls together are hags," she says, explaining an inside joke that dates back to her daughter's dance-class days. "So, at Comic-Con, I was calling them the 'hags,' and people were looking at me weird."
