People old enough to have seen the poster for Silence of the Lambs hanging in theaters can remember their grim fascination with the skull bodies, and are probably annoyed to even see this included on this list.
But people who have only seen the poster in grainy internet form, before seeing the image above, may have just gotten their minds blown.
In the novel Silence of the Lambs, the basis for the film, author Thomas Harris says Lecter’s eyes are maroon, and reflect light in “pinpoints of red.” Sounds like Clarice’s eyes in the poster, right?
In the movie, both Clarice Starling and Hannibal Lecter have blue eyes.

Just read the books. This conversation never occurred. It was only the thought process she went through in Clarice's mind after she found Lecter's message on the map. The movie needed a vehicle to convey that message to the audience so they used Ardelia Mapp as the voice of her conscience.
