Little information has been released about the new ‘Friday the 13th’ movie that is being directed by David Bruckner (V/H/S) and was written by Nick Antosca, who served as a writer for the ‘Hannibal Lecter’ series.

The Parents Television Council have their panties in a bunch again, this time it’s over the bloody and brutal sex scenes in ‘American Horror Story: Hotel’.

I will admit I did find that scene a little much, but with ‘AHS’ controversial content is expected. Tim Winter, the president of The Parents Television Council, is urging people to boycott the series. Winter stated: “This is the most vile and shocking content I’ve ever seen on TV. Ever.
