Four Young TV Stars Worth Binge-Watching

EVAN PETERS

On the eve of the fifth season of the show that’s defined his career, the 28-year-old prepares to go even badder. by devon maloney. photographed by felisha tolentino 

Evan Peters is terrified of hotels. It’s unclear whether this has been a lifelong phobia for the actor, or if it’s something new. After all, he and his co-stars did just receive some of the scripts for American Horror Story: Hotel, the latest season of Ryan Murphy’s chilling hit anthology series, and Peters has already torn through the first three episodes. But now, a couple of days later, he’s standing in a stairwell at Harvard House, a particularly creepy, crumbling old motel in Hollywood, which is leaving him a little unsettled.

“There are so many spirits and demons,” he says ominously. “So many people have been through those halls, those rooms. You don’t know.”

He pauses and looks around. It’s a weekend in late June at the decrepit Hollywood Boulevard boarding house; the place is stone silent save the sound of a few passing cars. The doors to a couple of rooms upstairs stand ajar, revealing piles of remodeling supplies that look untouched since 1975.

“We’re in a crazy motel right now— we don’t know what’s happened here.”

After spending seasons two through four of the series as a falsely accused serial killer, a pitiful Franken-boyfriend, and an unlucky freak-show performer with daddy issues, Peters is excited to finally return to where he started in season one: as the villain.
