I was perusing the new White chapel’s new Blog area and found this post by Brandon Cyphered. Familiar territory, as friends and readers may know- I haven’t been idle (though apparently researching Prion diseases is not Politically Correct. Why? No clue. Possibly because knowledge is a dangerous thing, and who knows what I might do with my lingering scientific background).
Cannibalism has intrigued the population for ages. It’s exotic. It’s frightening. It’s intriguing. It has been done over time in many ways, and for many reasons, and movies about cannibals are pretty darn popular; take the Hannibal Lecter flicks for example. According to some, Hannibal the Cannibal is one of the most popular movie villains of all time, and cannibalism can be used as a metaphor that never ends, put to use in a variety of ways in a literary setting, more than just simple hack and slash and violence for the sake of violence.
