Call it a killer deal!
The fictional home of serial killer Jame “Buffalo Bill” Gumb from legendary film “The Silence of the Lambs” can now be yours for $300,000, according to reports.
Rather than Ohio, where Jodie Foster’s character, Clarice Starling, tracks the murderer down, this three-story pad is located in the western Pennsylvania village of Layton in Fayette County.
Built in 1910, the 2,334-square-foot property, which sits on a 1.76-acre lot, has four bedrooms and one full bathroom. Sorry, die-hard fans: This home doesn’t have a dungeon to keep victims captive (basement scenes in the movie were filmed off-site). But it does have a host of cool features, including a wraparound veranda, an in-ground pool and a four-car garage.
Owners Scott and Barbara Lloyd, both 63, purchased the home in 1976. Just the foyer and dining room were used for the 1990 shoot, and the work included six weeks of prep and three days of filming.
“They were looking for a home in which you entered the front door and had a straight line through,” Barbara told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. “They wanted it to look like a spider web, with Buffalo Bill drawing Jodie Foster into the foyer, into the kitchen, then into the basement.”
