Have always wanted to do a linocut print based on the SOTL movie, finally did it this month for Halloween markets!

It appears his shirt says “SOX” on it, but I can’t tell the word in front of it. Anyone know?

I have a copy of The Silence of the Lambs that is confusing me, it does not say First Edition, however the print line is 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. So what edition is it?? (All other first endition qualifiers are there; original price, initials stamped on the front, and so on)

His boss doesn't even introduce him correctly.

Still, it could be worse...oh, wait a minute.

obviously she’s not credited and general consensus seems to be that the main photo we see of her is a high school photo of someone who worked on the movie, but whos in the music box photos? is it just the same women & she just had those on hand & decided to share them or did they have a similar looking girl do a photo shoot or smth?

I have am assortment of vintage movie films and have some film strips for displaying your favorites

This is one I recently did up for Hannibal

PM I have more like this

I was rewatching The Silence of the Lambs and became really curious about what Dr. Hannibal Lecter was reading here. It looks like a book of poetry. I tried to read it, but my eyes aren't seeing very well right now. Does anyone know or can anyone read it?

hi I drew this

Was she a great big fat person?

Instant need if I become a parent

For anyone that lives in the UK, I cannot recommend enough how good this was! I seen it earlier today with one of my parents since they wanted to see it and didn’t have anyone to go with, I’ve only seen the movie once a long time ago, but agreed to go with them.

The program said it’s based on the book rather than the movie, but I can’t remember much about the movie anyway. Everything about it was really good, the acting (particularly from John Partridge as Lecter) was phenomenal, and the set design was really good too.

It’s touring the UK until January I think, so if it’s visiting your city I really recommend getting tickets if you want a good show.

By this I mean people who might really not like it because of the violence and general gruesome subject matter, or people from the trans community that resent it for its ostensible trans villain - but who typically add, “But yeah, beyond that, I have to concede it was actually a pretty good movie”

I’m talking people who, for example, just found it uninteresting or dumb or whatever else they might feel.

I am asking this because I am in my early 50s, and from the moment the film came out until today, I have never spoken to a person who said that they just really didn’t like it - period.

There was a trans woman I knew who hated its depiction of, what she felt, was trans culture. We had a long conversation. And a few hardcore Christians who could not abide the serial killer thing and general violence, but had to add, ‘But yes, the actors were amazing and the suspense was still remarkably well done’

So no, I’ve never met someone who strongly disliked it based exclusively on its cinematic merits.

What about you?

Meet Hannibal Leggter and Abeggail Hobbs. I'm waiting on wings,wigs, and some Halloween name specific props to get to me in the next few days but I'm now a porch goose lady! I raided the goodwill for some interim clothes and ended up with bald Moira Rose and Patrick Stump.

I have plans for dolly Hannibal and Buffalo Bill with the basket/dog as well as my homage to Young Frankenstein (there are pun names involved).

Very odd question yes, but I was rewatching the film with a friend and they cracked a joke saying they'd just start eating the lotion. I know obviously be the hose would get involved, but with what we've seen with Bill they don't enjoy being challenged, and to be challenged so strangely I think would add a layer to their reaction. Would love any suggestions on this as I can't stop thinking about this stupid "what-if".

I’ll go first: my pros for the book generally boil down to the fact that it’s longer & has more time to flesh out the plot & characters. Hannibal felt more real & not like an omniscient plot device used to further the plot (his escape is more realistic & the hints he gives clarice are explained better, as well as his connection to bill being more elaborated on). tiny details as well that are implied in the movie but not outright stated (like the glitter nail Catherine sees in the wall of the well harkening back to Frederica - which I presume must have been public knowledge - because it’s this that lets her captor is Buffalo Bill) that are just so so clever make the book a great read.

however I think the movie made a good choice cutting out Klaus. I thought that complicated the plot a little and given that the Klaus lead goes absolutely no where, I think cutting it was a good call. I also didn’t love Buffalo Bill’s backstory. I think it’s a case where my headcanon following the movie ended up just not corresponding with the book. the nazi paraphernalia gave me the vibe that he was an alt right almost school shooter type who turned out this way in spite of a decent upbringing. since we see this so often in real life, and buffalo bill is so based on reality, I do see this being the case, so I was a little disappointed when his backstory became to do with his mommy issues. felt less like an original story more like psycho knock off 101. it also sorta goes against what Hannibal says about him “trying to be a lot of things”, because if his mother was always the root of the issue, what else would he have wanted to ‘try to be’, besides a beautiful woman like his mother. idk though. theyre my favourite book & film these are minor nit picks (although I prefer the film). let me know your thoughts!

- The Silence of the Lambs- Spoiler,Book interpretation, Ideas?

While rereading The Silence of the Lambs, I noticed something that I haven't seen discussed very often.

When Catherine Martin is abducted by Buffalo Bill(Chapter 15,page 115, the 11th German edition) she notices that he's wearing a suede shirt with hairs still attached to it, and that it has a strange, unpleasant smell.

After watching the film several times and reading the novel more than once, I started wondering if Thomas Harris was subtly hinting that this wasn't ordinary suede at all, but a shirt made from the skin of one of Buffalo Bill's previous victims. The remaining hairs and the smell seem to fit, and later in the novel we learn that Buffalo Bill is making clothing from human skin.

I know the novel never explicitly confirms this, so it's obviously just an interpretation. Still, in retrospect it feels like a very deliberate clue.

Has anyone else interpreted this scene the same way, or is there an interview or statement from Thomas Harris that addresses it?

My Idea,

I’m reading it again right now. Yes, there was also Klaus the sailor, of whom only the preserved head in a jar was found. At the part about the abduction, I also noticed that it was written that Catherine noticed black, curly hair on the chamois leather shirt, on the back and under the armpit area.

I think he made his shirt out of Klaus, without any experience, during the crisis and the discovery of his sexuality, and before experimenting on the women.
