We imagine standing naked in the shower, while allowing Hannibal Lecter in a fat suit to stab you with a razor-sharp knife, might be pretty intimidating.

Scarlett Johansson had to do just that during the production of Hitchcock and fortunately, she didn't seem to mind.

She plays Janet Leigh in the upcoming biopic who, in case you've never seen Psycho, gets brutally murdered in the shower.

The movie explores the making of the controversial horror film, so it had to recreate the infamous scene. The 27-year-old actress revealed in a recent interview with V Magazine that the crew was more nervous than her to film it and explained:

It's a "Mads" house, a Maaaaaads house!!

Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen, fresh from winning an acting award at Cannes, was just cast as Hannibal "the Cannibal" Lecter in NBC's new fall thriller.

Hannibal also stars Hugh Dancy as an FBI investigator who enlists the help of renowned psychologist Dr. Lecter — without realizing he is secretly also a sociopathic, murdering man-eater.

Yikes! Sounds terrifying!

Anthony Hopkins famously portrayed Lecter in three successful films, winning an Academy Award for Silence of the Lambs in 1991.

The great Dane will have huge shoes to fill!

Do U think he's up to the task!

No pilot? No problem!

NBC has tossed all its eggs in one basket and order a 13 episode pickup of the Hannibal Lecter TV adaptation.

Still word out on who will play the doctor on the small screen but it will be third reincarnation of the character, which will be based on Thomas Harris' Red Dragon.

Who do U want to see don the mask (and cannabalism)?!

"Hello, Clarice…"

Hannibal Lecter is always chilling and soon the famous doctor and cannibal can scare TV watchers just like his movies!

NBC has bought the rights from Gaumont International Television and the format will be an hour long drama. Written and executive produced by Bryan Fuller, the series already has a 13 episode commitment so there will be plenty of brains for Dr. Lecter to feast on! (Eww!)

This will be Fuller's second forray in television after ABC's Pushing Daisies.

We wonder who would be a good Hannibal Lecter…

Who do U think?

Our Queen Coco never disappoints us!

Showing off her barely-there devil costume, Coco squeezed herself into a skimpy outfit and fishnets while her hubby Ice T wore a Hannibal Lecter costume at the Player's Ball at LAX Nightclub in Vegas.

Looking hot, as always, Coco! You always look like you're ready to party!
