Hannibal: 10 Moments Almost Too Disgusting For TV

10. The Human Fungi Garden

Among the show's disturbing up, the human fungi garden we were treated to in, Amuse Bouche is on a level all it's own. It's not exceptionally bloody or as entrails-filled as many of the other moments, but something about decaying corpses covered in fungi is super off-putting. Once you were given the entire back story though, it somehow became even more stomach turning. The gardener behind this bountiful harvest is Eldon Stammets, a pharmacist, who moonlights as a deranged serial killer. Eldon induces his victims into diabetic comas via his power as a medicine distributor. Once unconscious, he buries his hapless victims alive, covers them in compost and pumps them full of sugar water. Boom: instant fungi garden. Seeing their decomposing hands sticking up from their burial plots was eerie enough, but when one of the seemingly long dead victims starts sputtering and choking upon being dug up, it crossed the line into downright horrifying.
