    摘要、提要註: Executive producer and showrunner Bryan Fuller's most recent television series, Hannibal (2013-2015), reflects the ever-growing American obsession with food, nutrition, and consumption in media culture by turning food into horror.1 The series draws the viewer into the world of cannibalistic serial killer Dr. Hannibal Lecter by focusing on his preparation and presentation of elaborate meals. Hannibal, a psychiatrist by trade, is known for his culinary prowess, and the show foregrounds this talent with an emphasis on food preparation scenes modeled after television cooking programs. These scenes substitute for the violent murders he commits off screen in order to collect ingredients to make the meals. Fuller's strategy not only creates parallels between Hannibal and an array of cultural concerns regarding the origin, genetic makeup, and ethical treatment of animals, but also raises the question of what viewers are being encouraged to eat. Hannibal takes this paranoia to the level of horror: the kitchen, typically depicted as a safe haven and domestic center in a family home, becomes the setting for anxiety and violence where Hannibal is the master chef of nightmares.
