Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Ed Gein: 2 lines

  1. lineage (real-life source) · through The Silence of the Lambs (1991), which they wrote: Ed Gein ⇒ The Silence of the Lambs (the host's read). Ed Gein had a big Hollywood footprint; Silence of the Lambs and Manhunter touched on him.
    “A lot of people, silence the lambs, touched on Ed Geen.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ With Bill Simmons and Chris Ryan · 0:19:05 · Bill Simmons (0.50 sure it was them)
  2. lineage (real-life source) · through Manhunter (1986), which they wrote: Ed Gein ⇒ Manhunter (the host's read). Manhunter and the Hannibal Lecter material also draw on Gein.
    “I mean, Manhunter.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ With Bill Simmons and Chris Ryan · 0:19:23 · Chris Ryan (0.45 sure it was them)

Manhunter (1986): 1 line, within their own work

  1. lineage (lineage) · through The Silence of the Lambs (1991), which they wrote: Manhunter ⇒ The Silence of the Lambs (the host's read). Silence of the Lambs and the Hannibal Lecter universe come in the aftermath of Manhunter.
    “Obviously, like Silence of the Lambs and the expanded Hannibal Lecter universe comes in the aftermath of this”
    The Big Picture · ‘Ferrari’ and Top Five Michael Mann Movies · 0:49:26 · Sean Fennessey (0.60 sure it was them)

Thief (1981): 1 line

  1. craft (craft) · through Manhunter (1986), which they wrote: Thief ⇒ Manhunter (the host's read). Thief's final shootout is a dry run for Manhunter's.
    “That whole shootout is very reminiscent of the shootout at the end of Manhunter”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Thief’ With Bill Simmons, Sean Fennessey, and Chris Ryan · 1:11:12 · Bill Simmons (0.50 sure it was them)

Thomas Harris: 1 line, within their own work

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Manhunter (1986), which they wrote: Thomas Harris ⇒ Manhunter (the host's read). Manhunter is Mann's Thomas Harris adaptation.
    “Um, the Thomas Harris adaptation.”
    The Big Picture · ‘Ferrari’ and Top Five Michael Mann Movies · 0:49:02 · Sean Fennessey (0.60 sure it was them)
