One look at this iconic mask worn by the central character Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs is bound to give us chills. In this 1991 psychological horror, Hannibal Lecter, played by Anthony Hopkins is a cannibal and the mask exists to prevent him from harming any more humans. It is an interesting prop choice as it acts as an element of both powerlessness and power in the characterization of Hannibal Lecter.
