Horror Icon: Buffalo Bill

Jame "Buffalo Bill" Gumb, the chilling antagonist of The Silence of the Lambs, is a deeply disturbed individual who kidnaps and unalives women to fashion a suit from their skin. A former tailor with a fractured psyche, he lures victims into his trap, keeping them captive in a pit before methodically carrying out his gruesome plans. His eerie persona, unsettling voice, and ritualistic killings make him one of cinema’s most terrifying villains. As FBI trainee Clarice Starling hunts him down, Buffalo Bill’s twisted mind and horrifying crimes serve as a chilling exploration of identity, transformation, and pure evil.
