for fun I have decided to keep a selfie postcard thread of #Hannibal locations as I walk/run around Toronto.

To start here’s #Hannibal’s office (actually the rectory/offices of St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church)! #HannibalSelfieTour

here is the fountain Will Graham uses as bait for the Great Red Dragon - and into which the Dragon dumps the flaming body of Dr Chilton!

In reality it is the 19th century garden curated by the St James Anglican cathedral! #Hannibal #HannibalSelfieTour

Here is “Paris, France” - the long arcade where Dr Lecter wishes Dr Fell “bon soir” before pursuing him across town on a motorcycle, eating him, and assuming his identity.

It is the Novotel Toronto Hotel, and across the street is Spaghetti Factory! #Hannibal #HannibalSelfieTour – bei Hotel Novotel Toronto Centre

bon soir

(incidentally around the corner from the Spaghetti Factory is a Banksy - one of two in Toronto)

i am being indulged - ROAD TRIP!

Here’s Will Graham’s house in Wolf Trap, Virginia (actually a heritage farmhouse in rural Ontario)! #Hannibal #HannibalSelfieTour

here is the stretch of road where Francis Dolarhyde brutally “liberates” Will and Hannibal from police custody in the series finale (this was tough to find - we had to follow the street til it intersected with the power lines). #Hannibal #HannibalSelfieTour

...and here is Hannibal’s secret glass cottage where he absconds w Will for the final fight with the Dragon and their romantic plunge over (non-existent!) cliffs (in reality the historical house / compound / workshop of artist Cleeve Horne!). #Hannibal

In #Hannibal S3 the Verger estate (like Mason Verger himself) suddenly looks v different from in S2 - suddenly it is a (much CGI-augmented) Parkwood Estates, Whitby.

(It’s also where Klaus & his cult live in S2 of #UmbrellaAcademy !)

We did my sister’s wedding photos here!

(Parkwood is also used for a lot of X-Men mansion stuff over the years)

(you basically get a full tour of the grounds in the sequence where Ben possesses Klaus in S2 of #UmbrellaAcademy , and the reflecting pool where he talks to Dave about Vietnam)

Serial killer Tobias Budge makes his displeasure with a bad cellist and draws #Hannibal’s attention with a “serenade” on his pickled larynx.

(In fact it’s Roy Thomson Hall where we saw Carly Rae Jepsen perform her orchestral suite, & across the street from “Hannibal’s office”!)

bonus content: here’s where Frederick’s flaming wheelchair rolls

a killer in grips of religious mania stages protective “angels” complete with eviscerated lung-wings

(in fact this alley is Ching Lane, jammed between the Lumsden Building’s Bowser’s castle brutalism and the Burkbeck Building’s Edwardian Baroque!) #Hanniba #HannibalSelfieTour

some more views of the Lumsden and the Birkbeck
