The office of brilliant Psychiatrist and legendary serial killer Hannibal Lecter M.D.
Hannibal Lecter M.D. is a fictional character in a series of horror novels by Thomas Harris and in the films adapted from them. Lecter was introduced in the 1981 thriller novel Red Dragon as a brilliant psychiatrist and cannibalistic serial killer. The novel and its sequel, The Silence of the Lambs (1988), feature Lecter as one of two primary antagonists. In the third novel, Hannibal (1999), Lecter becomes the main character. His role as protagonist and anti-hero occurs in the fourth novel, Hannibal Rising (2006), which explores his childhood and development into a serial killer.

Digital painting by me!
It's actually insane how much the two connect and contrast in terms of personality, ideals, and backstories.
Does anyone has Hannibal fanbooks/zines Ravage and/or Radiance for sell? I'd love to buy! :)
When setting up Clarice, I just noticed Cordell is the one who did the dirty work. I love going back over the details. I almost always see something new every time I see it.
In the film “Hannibal Rising” some man shows up at the chateau and tells her that she will have to abandon it and fire her staff. Was this financial or was there some other reason? Is it addressed in the book?
In “Silence” he referred as “to be hard to look at” and something similar another time, but I just finished “Red Dragon” and I do not remember him having any face injuries. Am I missed something? I searched Google and there is answer that he had his face stabbed by Dolarhyde, but I reckon it’s TV show, not book? Or it’s just means he has unpleasant/disturbing mimic and not actual physical injury ?
Hannibal is free on some random streaming service but I have to rent Red Dragon and I don’t want to rent it right now
Hannibal Lecter as an angel - there is no proof that he ate his sister
In the books written by Thomas Harris featuring the character Hannibal Lecter, Hannibal ate a part of his own sister. However, he was not the one to kill her. In the novels, it is hinted that Hannibal had a traumatic childhood that included witnessing horrific violence and loss.
Hannibal Lecter's backstory is explored in "Hannibal Rising," where it is revealed that he was born in Lithuania to a noble family. During World War II, his family's castle is attacked by German soldiers, resulting in the death of his parents and younger sister, Mischa. Hannibal was forced to participate in cannibalism during this traumatic event.
The novels suggest that Hannibal may have consumed human flesh during his childhood survival more than once. However, the exact details of what transpired during that time remain somewhat ambiguous and open to interpretation by readers.
Overall, the book series provides a dark and complex portrayal of Hannibal Lecter's character, delving into the psychological depths of his past and his evolution into the infamous serial killer and cannibal.
Ever wondered what it might be like to talk to Hannibal (from Silence of the Lambs)? Just for some fun, created a simulation: https://beta.dopple.ai/profile/7c6f7ae1-6e8d-440a-84c8-b7ba8eba5a0e
Let me answer the obvious questions:
I'd love if people could share screen caps of interesting things that happen.
must say The grinch by jim carrey and bane from batman is not a badass villain?
I watched all three films (RD, SotL, Hannibal) recently got to wondering what Hannibal would have done to Buffalo Bill had Bill succeeded in killing Clarice. Would he try to kill Bill? If so, how would that play out?
For all the deserved criticism against Hannibal Rising, why is the very blatant grooming undertone never discussed?
Maybe I'm not looking hard enough, maybe I'm looking way too hard. I don't know. Regardless, Lady Murasaki was out there encouraging the infatuation of a highly traumatised 13 year-old orphan of war, actively enabling his violent urges, and then had the nerves to peace out once she realised her little experiment had spun way out of control??
Writing a back story because you were forced into it is one thing, but was making it an Orientalist tale of emotional abuse set against a Nazi hunting backdrop really that necessary?
Talk about killing your darlings.
I've prepared for you my favourite comfort food, Rhinoceros Beetles and mimosas.
If they were to make another adaptation I’m curious as to what y’all’s thoughts on the casting situation. Who would you guys cast as the main four roles (graham, dolarhyde, Reba, lecter) Personally I’m thinking that Ralph fiennes could be a good take on lector without losing what people loved about Hopkins, I also think Matthew lillard would be an excellent dolarhyde
Hi! I'm about to start hannibal and wondering if it's good if I end it at season 2 because I heard season 3 is not very good
I keep seeing posts about this! Is it happening??
