The house has been on the market for five months and hundreds have expressed an interest.
But despite dozens of viewings, not a single offer has been made. Why? because despite its perfect exterior and lush green lawns, the house has a horrifying secret.
The four bedroom home in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania was used during the filming of the 1991 Oscar winning thriller Silence of the Lambs.
During the movie, FBI trainee Clarice Starling, played by Jodie Foster, tracked down Buffalo Bill and exposed his twisted plan for the women he had abducted and murdered.
The owners of the house, Barbara and Scott Lloyd, have lived in the house for 39 years, and moved to the upstairs of the house during filming.
Barbara told CBS local that her dining room was where Jodie Foster first noticed the deaths head moth. “[She] noticed the death’s head moth flying around the table, and she said, ‘Oh my gosh. This is the serial killer.’”
In Silence of the Lambs, the three-storey house has a dungeon where Bill, played by Ted Levine, keeps the young women he abducts.
However, in real life the house is bright and cheery with flowery wallpaper and a swimming pool – and it definitely doesn’t have a dungeon.
The house boasts four bedrooms, but unfortunately it only has one bathroom – which some say is putting potential byers off more than the gruesome Silence of the Lambs association.
The house is on the market with real estate agent Dianne Wilk.
