Buffalo Bill's House from 'Silence of the Lambs' Gets B&B Treatment
'Silence of the Lambs' It Puts the Bed Sheets on for Guests!!! Bill's Pad Becomes a B&B
Buffalo Bill was a terrible host for his basement well "guests" in "The Silence of the Lambs" -- so here's hoping the new owners of the home from the movie do a whole lot better.
That's right ... the creepy house where the fictional serial killer lived -- and tortured folks -- is now being converted into a bed and breakfast in Perryopolis, PA. It was recently sold after hitting the market back in October for around $300k.
The new owner -- theatrical art director Chris Rowan of NY -- says he's planning to give the property a makeover of sorts, but in a creepy way that's faithful to the movie.
What that means exactly ... installing decor that fans might recognize from the film, including a replica of a well -- JUST LIKE THE MOVIE! Don't worry, it's just for photo ops ... so no, you freaks can't pay extra to stay in there.
He says the film has become a staple of pop culture -- and that he and his fam are sure people will flock there to sleep in BB's new B&B.
As for specs ... the 4-bedroom house -- which is more than 100 years old -- is around 2,400 square feet and sits on nearly 2 acres of land. There's railroad tracks (complete with an old-timey caboose) just a stone's throw away, and you can also access the Youghiogheny River from the backyard. The one major renovation that's coming ... an in-ground pool.
One last thing that's worth mentioning -- the previous owner was reportedly a former FBI agent at one point, just like Jodie Foster's Clarice. Oh, how delicioussssss (creepy Hannibal Lecter voice).
