For a mere $300,000, you can own the home in which fictional (?) serial killer Jame Gumb famously screamed, “It puts the lotion in the basket or else it gets the hose again!”
The Victorian single-family home is located in Perry Township Fay, Pennsylvania and has four bedrooms and a four-car garage. The property offers only one bathroom, making it perfect for a serial killer such as Gumb who kept his victims in a well for 3 days and didn’t need to offer his guests the comforts of an en-suite boudoir.
The house does not have a torture well, skin-sewing room or a moth incubator in the basement; however, it does feature a pool and an actual vintage train caboose that is used as a pool house. Curiously, the rail-themed swimming pavilion did not make it into the Oscar-winning thriller.
The Realtor.com listing states that 8 Circle Street is “a statement of taste and prosperity.” There’s no mention of whether or not purchasing this home will indeed make the lambs stop screaming.
For potential buyers worried that 8 Circle Street isn’t nearly as scary as it was in the movie, fear not! The interior wallpaper is more terrifying than anything Hannibal Lecter could conceive.
