PTC ‘American Horror Story: Hotel’ & ‘Scream Queens’ Boycott: Evan Peters Mr March Too Bloody?

American Horror Story has a always been a little bloody, but the latest season, Hotel, is shaping up to be one of the most gruesome shows ever on TV. Add on to that, Ryan Murphy's all new Fox horror comedy, Scream Queens, and blood and gore are taking over the airwaves. Now, one group is set out to have the shows pulled off the air. The Parents Television Council are calling for a boycott of both shows. That might seem a little extreme, but the blood is even starting to get to Evan Peters. Peters is portraying his most brutal character yet, Mr. March. The role could push Peters over the brink.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Parents Television Council president Tim Winter is calling for a boycott of American Horror Story: Hotel and Scream Queens, saying:

"This is the most vile and shocking content I've ever seen on TV. Ever. Most Americans have no idea this is primetime fare on advertiser-supported basic cable. And everyone is paying for it as part of their program bundle."

However, this season of AHS is even starting to get to Mr. American Horror Story himself, Evan Peters, as he recently told Variety:

“There was one point, I won’t say what part it was, but I was sitting there and there was a lot of blood and it was definitely an intense moment. I was sitting there and we were in between takes and I kind of stood there and said, ‘Wow man. I’ve done five seasons and this is starting to really get to me. It’s starting to get a little weird. I’m starting to see things a little differently. I think I’ve got to kind of step out for a minute and get back to reality because you become desensitized to it.’”
