10 Movie Villains That Killed Other Villains

Hannibal Lecter is one of the most infamous and recognisable villains in cinematic history. Anthony Hopkins' chilling performance, as well as the iconic hiss, have made the character unforgettable, and though he may have killed and eaten multiple people, one of the creepiest things Hannibal did was to the man in the next cell.

Miggs may not have had much of a role to play in the story, he wasn't as involved as the other villains in Buffalo Bill and Hannibal Lecter himself, but he was still a dangerous and vile human being. There's no nice way of saying what he did to Clarice Starling... he threw a certain bodily fluid at her and laughed about it.

Hannibal, ever the courteous cannibal, found this to be disgusting and so punished Miggs. Without ever laying a hand on him, Hannibal whispered to his cell neighbour through the night and convinced him to kill himself. This may have technically been a suicide, but rest assured it was Dr. Lecter's doing.

This scene showed just how brutal, how intelligent, how manipulative, and how dangerous Hannibal Lecter was all in one go.
