For Some Strange Reason, This Couple Can't Sell Their 'Silence Of The Lambs' House

Everyone looks for different things in their dream home. Some pine for indoor jacuzzi tubs, while others fantasize about a stainless steel kitchen paradise.

And some just want to live in a house, inhabited by a fictional serial killer.

#1 Scott and Barbara Lloyd of Perryopolis, Pennsylvania currently live in the house featured in the 1991 Academy-award winning film, "The Silence of the Lambs". After months of struggling to find a buyer on the market, the couple had to drop the house's asking price from $300,000 to $250,000.

#2 It appears that people don't want to move into Buffalo Bill's home — the fictional character responsible for murdering young people, then trying on their skins. But for the record, the dungeon where Bill committed his crimes was filmed on a separate soundstage.

#3 The house contains a gorgeous gazebo - where Buffalo Bill could have entertained his victims, before skinning them, of course

#4 An historic caboose is on the property of the house used as the home of psychotic killer Buffalo Bill - perhaps he could have hid his victims here

#5 In Silence of the Lambs, a moth lands in the kitchen, alerting FBI agent Clarice Starling that she is staring at the killer she's been tracking - in real life, there are no moths in the kitchen (above), but there are original wood floors and a chef's island

#6 The dining room in the house contains original details, including original wallpaper - the house was built in 1910

#7 'Remember Agent Starling walking into this home?' the house's marketing materials boldly ask

#8 The dark wood staircase in the home - in the movie, Buffalo Bill spends most of his time in the basement

#9 The front porch is spacious and contains wind chimes - the house is in a remote village of fewer than 50 people

#10 One of the quaint original touches are the Layton bricks are around the edges of the house

#11 In Silence of the Lambs, Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) goes hunting for a serial killer in his house - the house where the scenes were filmed is up for sale in Fayette County

#12 In the movie, the creepy Buffalo Bill, played by Ted Levine, lives in the home at 8 Circle Street, in real life, it's for sale by Scott and Barbara Lloyd
