Barbara and Scott Lloyd have listed their Pennsylvanian home for just 0,000, which is nowhere near as expensive as Jesse Pinkman’s house.

In the acclaimed film, Buffalo Bill is eventually brought down by the FBI’s Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster), with an assist from imprisoned killer Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins).
The southwestern Pennsylvania home featured in the 1991 film The Silence of the Lambs is up for sale. The infamous lotion scene with Catherine Martin (Brooke Smith) were actually shot on a soundstage.
In real life, the house is bright and cheery with flowery wallpaper and a swimming pool, but it lacks a dungeon.
The three-story house, which appeared downright labyrinthine in the film, has four bedrooms and only one full bath.
And the couple never intended for their home to get into the movie business.
According to the Pittsburgh Tribune Review, the house was chosen for the film because of the passageway that greets visitors who enter the front door. Architecture buffs might have noticed the gorgeous oak paneling in the dining room while watching Starling’s epiphany of Jame Gumb’s true identity. “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”.
“It’s rather bittersweet”, Barbara Lloyd added. “We got married in this home, we raised our son in this home, but we are ready to move on”.
Wilk says, “People love to be scared”. The basement dungeon where the killer kept one would-be victim, however, doesn’t exist.

“I could see somebody doing something fun with this”, Mrs Lloyd told the Pittsburgh Tribune, suggesting that the home could be transformed into a horror-themed bread and breakfast.
