One of the killers in the 1996 film Scream claims that motive in horror is unimportant, pointing out that we don’t know why Hannibal Lecter is a cannibal in The Silence of the Lambs. At the time, it was true, but author Thomas Harris did eventually decide to give us the answer with Hannibal Rising in 2006, and it is a pretty horrifying prequel.

However, when the story of the cannibal serial killer was brought to TV in the show Hannibal, Bryan Fuller decided to change his backstory considerably. Let’s take a look at the truth about Hannibal Lecter’s backstory.
