History Main / CannibalLarder

* In the ''Series/TalesFromTheCrypt'' episode "What's Cookin'," Gaston hangs Mr. Chumley from a meathook in Fred & Erma's restaurant freezer. By the end of the day, there's not much left of him (Chumley, that is).

* In ''RedDragon'' it's implied that Hannibal Lecter had one in his basement, as the first officer who entered his basement ended up traumatized and took early retirement.

* In the ''{{Firefly}}'' episode "Bushwhacked", the Reavers left one of those in a spaceship they, well, bushwhacked.
* In the ''{{Torchwood}}'' episode "Countrycide", Toshiko and Ianto are captured and dumped in a cellar that contains human body parts and later taken to a kitchen filled with body parts and corpses.
* In the TV series of ''{{Series/Hannibal}}'', the titular Dr. Lecter is shown to keep the organs of the people he kills stored in his freezer for later use. An unusually-tidy example.

* In the last season of ''{{Series/Dexter}}'', Dexter is investigating a suspect's house and comes across a fridge full of tupperware containers neatly labelled as various body parts.

* In the second episode of ''KinosJourney,'' after [[spoiler: the three men Kino saved turn out to be slavers and Kino has to kill them all in self-defense]], Kino takes a closer look inside their wagon: it's the second time it's seen, [[OnceMoreWithClarity but this time,]] we get a better idea what the three men meant when they said they had to eat their cargo to survive...

''Some are haunted by the tolling bell
Some by the fiery pits of hell
But what haunts me is what we did see
When we entered the larder of the Sawney Bean''
-Sol Invictus

"Some are haunted by the tolling bell

When we entered the larder of the Sawney Bean"

* The Butcher's room in ''{{Diablo}}''

* In the first ''OddThomas'' novel, Thomas finds a very tidy such larder in the killer's refrigerator. It's unclear if they are ruly intended for eating, or are just trophies.

* When police broke into the farmhouse of serial killer Ed Gein, who would serve as inspiration for {{TexasChainsawMassacre}} and other horror stories, they found a terrifying array of human remains. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Gein#Crimes See for yourself]] over at TheOtherWiki.

* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}: Kiss Play'': EDC Kiss Players who have failed are apparently stuffed into [[Peoplejars tubes somewhere below the base]]. Probably all of them were stripped naked first; Kiss Player Xiao Xiao woke in one such tube. When she looked around, the surrounding tubes contained partially eaten remains of other young women. Partially eaten by the phallic-tongued evil robots called Legion. One such was in Xiao Xiao's tube and ready to chow down.

* In ''ComicBook/ShamansTears'', Joshua Brand and Jon Sable find a cannibal larder full of the remains of missing homeless people in the lair of the nestlings in the sewers under New York City.

* In the manga ''{{Parasyte}}'', horribly mangled body parts are found all over the world. Unusual in that the culprits are not cannibalistic humans, but alien bodysnatchers who [[ToServeMan eat people as a source for food]].

* ''{{Torchwood}}'''s episode "Countrycide".

The finding of a CannibalLarder is usually staged as TheReveal, although it frequently only [[{{Foreshadowing}} confirms what the audience already suspected]] was going on. Bonus points for this trope if the discoverer actually trips and falls onto/into the mounds of body parts.

* In ''SevenDaysASkeptic,'' once the protagonist gains access to [[spoiler: Taylor's]] room, he discovers that it's an abattoir filled with the mutilated parts of the other crewmembers. Not a straight example of this trope, as the other crewmembers haven't been butchered to be eaten: instead, [[spoiler: Taylor]] is using them to construct a new body for [[BigBad John DeFoe]].

* Similarly, Jeffrey Dahmer was found to have an entire torso and bags of human organs in his refrigerator upon his arrest.

* The TropeCodifier would be the original ''TexasChainsawMassacre''.

* Several of Grimm's fairy tales also features a female protagonist discovering that her new husband has a penchant for human flesh.

* The first Literature/Emberverse book, ''Dies the Fire'' has several of these. Most of the cannibal bands that arose after the end of the world keep live prisoners in them as well (best way to keep the meat fresh).

* ''CallOfCthulhu'' supplement ''Shadows of Yog-Sothoth'', adventure "The Worm That Walks". When the [=PC=]s explore the Woodie house they discover a kitchen which is the butcher shop of a den of cannibals. It has the gruesome remnants of an earlier meal spread around - hands, feet, and even more grisly bits of human debris.
* ''Traveller'' "Double Adventure 1: Death Station". A chemical disaster occurred aboard an orbiting science ship, killing most of the crew and reducing the remainder to madness. The survivors stowed the remains of the dead crew in a locker and have been snacking on them.
