To cre­ate the phys­i­cal world of The Silence of the Lambs (1991), pro­duc­tion designer Kristi Zea drew on descrip­tions in the book by Thomas Har­ris on which the film was based.  She was also inspired by a vari­ety of images, includ­ing paint­ings by Fran­cis Bacon, news­pa­per and mag­a­zine clip­pings, and his­tor­i­cal photographs.
