In honor of the 35th Anniversary of the movie The Silence of the Lambs, this weekend, you can tour the famous house from the film in Perryopolis.<\/p>\n

Buffalo Bill’s House, the fictional home of serial killer Buffalo Bill, will be open for guided tours from Friday through Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Not only can you sign up to tour the house and learn more about the filming there, but there will be a special screening of the movie on Saturday night out on the lawn.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There will be photo ops in the recreated basement well set and back for a second time to meet and greet fans this year will be Actress Brooke Smith, who played Buffalo Bill’s captured victim Catherine Martin in the film.<\/p>\n

“Specifically, fans of Silence of the Lambs, I don’t think I’ve met a bad one,” said Smith to KDKA. “The horror community in general is kind of this amazing world of people. I have been to conventions, and just the people are very nice, and it’s funny to me because I’m not a big horror movie fan. I don’t like to be scared. I don’t get it. I don’t get it! But it really means a lot to people.”<\/p>\n
