Hannibal Lecter, Psycho, and Leatherface were all inspired by a man named Ed Gein. He was from Wisconsin. He killed a couple of people, one looked like his mommy, and he wore her skin around the house. No hotel, no chainsaw, no psychology degree, no meat factory, no chili.

In the book 'Hannibal' --the young child Lecter witnesses Nazi soldiers during WWII eating people during a harsh winter. The Lecter character is loosely based on an actual person that ate people.

Hannibal is my very favourite out of all of them. I like the way it's focused a lot more on Hannibal Lector and you get a lot of Anthony Hopkins screentime :) plus Ridley Scott is one of my favourite directors and there are some really brilliant gore scenes! Silence of the Lambs and Red Dragon are probably equal second favourites for me. Silence of the Lambs is obviously one of the best and most tense thrillers of all time, but I must admit I do love Red Dragon for how bloody disturbing it is. Plus Edward Norton, Harvey Keitel, Ralph Fiennes, Anthony Hopkins and Phillip Seymour Hoffman do make for a pretty darn impressive cast! Hannibal Rising I thought was just a below average thriller. I saw it in the cinema actually, it was alright, but not a patch on the other movies. I barely think of it as part of the franchise really. I've never seen Manhunter. I should do!! Helloooooooo Dan :D HELLO DAN! :) Aww cheers :) it was fun thank you. Miserable to be back at work! But yahoo-answers shall keep me going!! I'm going to watch Manhunter very soon I reckon :)

i think the story is complete fiction....the new movie is about his early days and what drove him to become hannibal lecter, mainly the murder of his family...it's basically showing his actions in hunting down and murdering the people responsible for killing his family
