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: 1 line

lineage (real-life source) · through Manhunter (1986), which they were tied to as author associated with Florida setting: Ed Gein ⇒ Manhunter (the host's read). Manhunter and the Hannibal Lecter material also draw on Gein.

Thief (1981): 1 line

craft (craft) · through Manhunter (1986), which they were tied to as author associated with Florida setting: 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

lineage (lineage) · through Manhunter (1986), which they were tied to as author associated with Florida setting: Thomas Harris ⇒ Manhunter (the host's read). Manhunter is Mann's Thomas Harris adaptation.
