The 8 Most Creative Killers From NBC’s Hannibal
Season 2’s fourth episode starred Amanda Plummer (Pulp Fiction) as twisted acupuncturist Katherine Pimms, who treats her patients much the same way the real-life Dr. Kevorkian did: by putting them out of their misery. When patients come to her in extreme amounts of pain, Pimms “cures” them by performing a lobotomy and removing their eyeballs, leaving them to die in beautiful meadows. Though one victim is found still alive, but of course completely brain-dead, another is found dead and decomposing in a meadow, his body literally turned into a makeshift beehive – with bees flying into and out of his empty eye sockets. Yum. Honey.
Episode eight of Season 2 was absolutely BONKERS in the best of ways, managing to be one of the show’s wackiest hours to date – no easy task, I assure you. The episode primarily centered on social worker/serial killer Clark Ingram, who is fascinated by the idea of rebirth. At the start of the episode, we discover that he’s murdered a young female and stuffed her dead body inside the fetus of a dead horse, and later on Ingram himself is buried alive inside the body of another horse. Yeah. This show is kind of crazy. And totally awesome.
We round out this gruesome list with Will Graham’s good pal Randall Tier, who was at the center of the second season’s ninth episode. A former patient of Dr. Lecter’s, Tier is so mentally ill that he truly believes he is an animal stuck inside the body of a human being, leading him to create an exo-skeleton suit that essentially turns him into a mechanical grizzly bear. He brutally rips apart several victims throughout the course of the episode, slashing their throats and separating their limbs from their bodies. In the end Graham is forced to kill Tier after he breaks into his home.
Needless to say, Season 3 of “Hannibal” should be jam-packed with a whole host of creative new killers, and we can’t wait to meet them. Bring on the brutality!
