How Silence of the Lambs Created a New Kind of Monster (With Brian Raftery)
Episode 384
Tuesday, 27 January, 2026
Author Brian Raftery joins us to explain how Silence of the Lambs didn't just give us a scary villain—it invented a whole new type. Before Hannibal Lecter, horror villains were mostly slashers in masks. Lecter changed the rules: he was clever, charming, and used his mind as a weapon. That's why this movie—and this character—still haunts us decades later. We break down what made Lecter different, why he's scarier than a guy with a knife, and how this film changed scary movies forever. Brian also shares secrets from his new book, Hannibal Lecter: A Life. 📘 Buy Hannibal Lecter: A Life: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Hannibal-Lecter/Brian-Raftery/9781668070581 CHAPTERS Introduction [00:00] Welcome to Cinema Psychos Show [00:45] First Experiences with Silence of the Lambs [08:38] Why Silence of the Lambs Endures [08:56] The Realism and Grounding of the Film [14:37] Buffalo Bill as the True Villain [19:21] The Terrifying Basement Scene [25:00] Development and Rights Issues [27:59] Favorite Scenes from the Film [37:13] The Book: Hannibal Lecter, A Life [44:16] Research and Writing Process [56:27] Horror vs Thriller Debate [01:04:03] Wrap-Up and Where to Find the Book [01:08:33] Follow The Cinema Psychos Show on Socials ❤️🔥: Discord: https://discord.gg/7GZ9uuTJ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cinemapsychosshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cinemapsychospod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cinemapsychospod Threads: https://www.threads.net/@cinemapsychospod Listen to The Cinema Psychos Show on: Spotify: https://rebrand.ly/0v6eeno Apple: https://rebrand.ly/j5nrkp7 Amazon: https://rebrand.ly/5x5hzng Goodpods: https://rebrand.ly/picstv6 OR LISTEN ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCAST APP! https://cinemapsychosshow.com/follow MAIN TITLE: "Red Alert" AUTHOR: Jack Waldenmaier PUBLISHER: Music Bakery Publishing (BMI) WARNING: UNAUTHORIZED USE OF THE MUSIC CONTAINED IN THIS PRODUCTION IS SUBJECT TO CRIMINAL PROSECUTION.
