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.

I'm on season 2 episode 7 and I'd like to say F&ck Alana 😂!! The betrayal of Will deviated me. 😭
I always wondered why Harris didn’t write any more books. To me (personal opinion) Red Dragon feels like it was meant to be about Will Graham, but Hannibal ended up being the better character so he ran with that. Even if it was planned out Hannibal was to be the star of his series, Harris has so many other characters he could have run series on - Graham, Starling, etc. I just don’t understand why such an amazing author would stop with four books 😭
YALL GET UP THEY PUT RED DRAGON ON NETFLIX !!! I know a lot of people don’t like red dragon but I really do. Especially after the let down of Hannibal. Do excited it’s finally on streaming
There’s a great phrase or quote From Thomas, observing/concluding about one of his malicious characters. How he defaults to mistrusting other people because he knows the deceit of which he is capable. It’s a fantastic expression of how the truth lies within the eye of the beholder. And how our own character can shape our observations.
It might have been about Lounds, from Red Dragon, Or maybe the inspector from Hannibal. It’s definitely one of the “middle” bad guys and not a big bad.
Been googling unsuccessfully. Thanks for any help.
If you had to give me 1 concrete watch order what would it be? Don't say ifs and buts just give it to me straight. Oh and please just list the names of the movies/show and don't go in depth on them. (I'm talking about both the show and the movies)
I'm rereading Hannibal rising and I’ve noticed that Hannibal’s polydactyly is never mentioned you know why?
I've been rewatching a lot of the best acting performances of all time (Brando, De Niro & Pacino as Vito & Michael Corleone, De Niro in Taxi Driver, DDL in There will be Blood, Robert Duvall/ Jack Nicholson/ Dennis Hopper and more -
& having just finished 3 seasons of Mads as Hannibal - I think he's as good, if not better than any of these in that role.
What a masterful performance - and he maintained it for 3 seasons!
I think it's up there with any of the greatest acting performances of all time.
the order they came out or chronologically? I already saw silence of the lambs in my forensic science class
How rich is Hannibal in general? I know he owns a townhouse in Boston but he doesn’t own the Florence palazzo he just gets to stay there because he impersonates the curator. He does have expensive taste in food but his special diet means that he doesn’t really buy most of his meat. He drives a Bentley before 1975 which must have been the T1 which in todays dollars would have cost 120k which we will call 140k because of the supercharger, the jaguar would have been 120k aswell. The late 18th century Flemish harpsichord and OG theremin built theremin would have been expensive but we can also call those investments because they really wouldn’t lose there value like the cars so it’s possible he just dipped heavy into savings for those. I also assume if his aliases can pass audits that he was practicing psychiatry after getting back from Florence so that would have helped out cash wise. The only books I haven’t read are red dragon and Hannibal rising (reading Hannibal rising soon) but I know his family situation in Lithuania probably wouldn’t have allowed him to inherit much so am I right in saying that most of his lifestyle is simply a result of his income as a psychiatrist? I know the avg salary for them is 300k which was probably higher for lecter.
Is red dragon the same story as man hunter? Do I just start with SOTL?
Hello, I'm new to the show and have seen many different hannibal books and was wondering witch series is most likely the tv show I'm grateful for any help!
In Chapter 41 of the Hannibal novel, during the aftermath of Lecter's murder of Pazzi being videotaped by a man named Viggert, there is this passage:
The tape instantly took its place among the classic horrific spectacles—Zapruder, the assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald and the suicide of Edgar Bolger—but Viggert would bitterly regret selling so soon, before Dr. Lecter was accused of the crime.
The Zapruder film refers to the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and Lee Harvey Oswald's shooting is self-explanatory, but the only result for an Edgar Bolger's suicide is from a 2003 forum thread where someone asks who Bolger is with no conclusive answers provided, it is just theorized that Harris was confusing the name of other taped suicides.
Mixing up wildly different names is unlike Harris' style, however, so twenty-one years later, the question seemingly remains: just who is Edgar Bolger, and what was Harris referring to? Does anyone know or have any ideas?
I made this!
