[UA] Cannibal

[Royal Minister of Stuff]

I certainly think it's time that "Cannibal Holicaust"
got the serious treatment it deserved.  And, of
course, there's always the barbeque in "10,000
maniacs" and whatever "Bloodsucking Freaks" is about.

For my money, though, any good cannibal story is going
to have a run for a money up against the sympathetic
treatment of Alferd Packard in Parker & Stone's
"Cannibal: The Musical."
