I wonder if the basement comes with its own pit?

The Silence of the Lambs has been a pathbreaking movie in every sense of the word. After the movie released in 1991, it made Hannibal Lecter, Clarice Sterling, and Buffalo Bill a household name. And now, the rural Pennsylvania home where Buffalo Bill mangled his victims is up for sale again just in time for Halloween. The three-story, four-bedroom house is situated in Perry Township Fay, PA, reported WTAE. It also has a swimming pool in the back and a detached three-car garage.

Needless to say, The Silence of the Lambs house has attracted a lot of attention but not a single buyer. Sitting on 1.7 acres along the Yough River, the house had two previous owners. Now it could be yours for just $298,500. Situated on Circle Street, the house was constructed in 1910 and it sits next to land previously owned by none other than George Washington. So why is the house having a hard time getting buyers?

Well, the real reason behind it is the location. In a conversation with NBC, Dianne Wilk of RE/MAX Select Realty said, "When it first went on the market, I got calls from across the country. But how many people are going to relocate to Layton because of a home? The thing is, it's a lovely, lovely home. And you know how people say George Washington slept in their home? Well, not many people can say they had a movie filmed in their house."

In order to give you guys an idea, Layton lies about 30 miles south of Pittsburgh. It's a quaint little village that is so tiny that it doesn't even have a zip code or even a stoplight. Scott and Barbara Lloyd, who were the previous owners of the house got married in the foyer, which appears in the movie along with the dining room. When they put the house back on the market in 2015, the couple initially quoted $300,000, but they cut the price of the three-story Victorian to $249,900 the next year.

Ultimately, an anonymous buyer bought the house for $195,000 and according to Dianne Wilk, he is a fan of the movie. In an interview with The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, she said, "Because of ‘The Silence of the Lambs,’ that’s what piqued his interest, and that’s how he found the home."

The Silence of the Lambs is a 1991 American psychological horror that was adapted from Thomas Harris' 1988 novel of the same name. The movie starred Jodie Foster as a young FBI Agent who is given the task to find a serial killer known as Buffalo Bill, who skins his female victims' corpses. In order to create a psychological profile, she seeks the advice of the imprisoned Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant psychiatrist, and cannibalistic serial killer. Anthony Hopkins played the role of Dr. Hannibal Lecter and has definitely immortalized the role.

The official synopsis of the movie reads, "Clarice Starling, an FBI agent, seeks help from Hannibal Lecter, a psychopathic serial killer, and former psychiatrist, in order to apprehend another serial killer who has been claiming female victims."

Looks like there'd be plenty of room for a big ass firepit out back.  Something like this.



Along with room to put a recreation room on to the garage so one could have a pool table and other rec stuff.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
