A stitched artifact from the cinematic archives of psychological horror.
Inspired by The Silence of the Lambs, this counted cross stitch pattern evokes the chilling legacy of Buffalo Bill—not through gore, but through quiet symbolism. The headline "Bill Skins Fifth" appears exactly as it does in the film, styled as a grim newsprint fragment. A solitary butterfly—ghost of metamorphosis—hovers near the text, referencing the killer's obsession with transformation, concealment, and reemergence.
