One of the creepiest houses in movie history is for sale - and it's actually quite charming

The infamous serial killer den from the now-classic 1991 thriller "Silence of the Lambs" is up for sale, and if you can get past the vision of its fictional resident, Buffalo Bill, dancing around in a skin suit, it's actually quite charming.

The house featured in the Academy Award-winning film is located in a Pittsburgh suburb and listed for $300,000.

The movie is about how young FBI trainee Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) works to track down a psychopathic criminal known as Buffalo Bill (Ted Levine) with the help of a brilliantly insane cannibal, Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins).

The three-story Victorian depicted in the film is spooky and moth-ridden, with a dungeon where Buffalo Bill keeps the young women he abducts and harvests moths to place in the throats of his dead victims.

In real life, the house is bright and cheery with flowery wallpaper and a swimming pool with an old train caboose serving as a pool house.

It sits on 1.76 acres and has four bedrooms and one bath across three stories. But the big question on any potential buyer's mind has to be, What about that creepy dungeon?

Happily, it doesn't exist. The homeowners informed the Tribune-Review that those creepy basement scenes were actually filmed on a sound stage.

The current owners, Scott and Barbara Lloyd, have a lot of history in the house. They were married in the foyer in 1976 and have since raised a family there. Now looking to downsize, the Lloyds are building a small ranch in a nearby town.

The Preferred Realty of Berkshire Hathaway has the listing. Keep scrolling for more photos of the famous home.
