The Amityville Horror is a book published in 1977 by Jay Anson and then turned into a cult classic horror film franchise. The story is based on the experience of the Lutz family when they moved into a home in Amityville on Long Island, New York - a home that was the location of a familicide when Ronald DeFeo Jr. murdered his siblings and parents in 1974. This is the true story behind The Amityville Horror.

On the evening of November 13, 1974, twenty-three-year-old Ronald DeFeo Jr. burst through the door of Henry's Bar in Amityville, Long Island, frantically yelling for help and telling the patrons that someone had killed his parents. When a small group returned to the house with DeFeo, they discovered that not only had his parents, Louise and Ronald Sr., been killed, but so had his four brothers and sisters—all shot to death in their beds with a .35 caliber rifle.During a police interview that night, investigators became suspicious of Ronald DeFeo. Not only was his story of a mob hit difficult to believe, but he seemed incapable of keeping certain aspects of his story straight during the interview. The next day, DeFeo broke down and confessed to the murders, explaining that he had hated his father and telling investigators, “Once I started [shooting], I just couldn't stop.”Ronald DeFeo's trial was one of New York's biggest news stories of 1975 and attracted considerable attention due to his attempt to mount an insanity defense and his frequent outbursts in the courtroom. In the end, the defense was unsuccessful and DeFeo was convicted of the murders and sentenced to life in prison. DeFeo's conviction should have been the end of the story, but it turned out it was only the beginning of what would eventually become one of the most notorious supernatural claims in American history.Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!!ReferencesCarter, A.J., Soper Susan , Dallas Gatewood, and Sam Washington. 1974.

In 1974, five members of the DeFeo family was brutally murdered in their Amityville home known as High Hopes. Ronnie Defeo Jr known as Butch, the eldest son of Ronald and Louise, confessed to killing his parents-but claimed his sister Dawn had murdered the siblings Marc, John and Allison. After a brief trial, Butch was found guilty of first degree murder in the massacre. 13 months later, George and Kathy Lutz along with their 3 children moved into the home. At first things seemed normal but soon the Lutz' claim they were tormented by malovent spirits for 28 days before fleeing the house for good. What followed was a media firestorm. The highly publicized account of demonic activity became a best selling book and blockbuster film. Yet many say the Lutz' story was a hoax.

In 1974 a terrible crime rocked the town of Amityville, NY, when Ronnie DeFeo Jr murdered 6 members of his own family. In our 2ooth episode special we talk about their story

On this edition of Parallax Views, filmmaker Jack Riccobono joins us to discuss his new MGM+ documentary miniseries Amityville: An Origin Story. Given the glut of Amityville movies, books, and documentaries that have come out through the years one could be forgiven for assuming Amityville: An Origin Story would be just another retread of the same old territory. After all, the Amityville name has now inspired such direct-to-video/streaming flicks as Amityville Cop, Amityville Moon, Amityville in Space, and, believe it or not, Amityville Vibrator. In that way many have come to view anything with the Amityville moniker to be a joke. Amityville: An Origin Story, however, manages to defy expectations and offer a fresh, even thought-provoking perspective on the infamous house on 112 Ocean Avenue by exploring how The Amityville Horror, from the brutal DeFeo family murders to the alleged haunting of the Lutz family and all the books and movies that followed, became a pop culture phenomena that's seared into the collective consciousness of America. Jack and I discuss many different facets of the docuseries including: - The culture of the 70s: rise of interest in occultism, mass institutional distrust due to the Vietnam War and Watergate, the popularity of horror movies like The Exorcist, Rosemary's Baby, and The Omen; how this all created the perfect storm for The Amityville Horror to make an impact on the zeitgeist - The brutal family annihilation murder of the DeFeo Family and its perpetrator Ronald DeFeo, Jr.; family dysfunction and family disintegration in the stories of both the DeFeo and the Lutz families; the lingering questions about possible organized crime/mob ties to the DeFeo Murders; the rare archival interviews of Ronald DeFeo, Jr. contained in Amityville: An Origin Story; discussion of Amityville II: The Possession, the cult horror movie based on the DeFeo murders; Amityville: An Origin Story's interview with Diane Franklin, who played Ronald DeFeo, Jr.'s sister Dawn DeFeo in Amityville II: The Possession; Amityville: An Origin Story's exclusive interview with Tommy Maher, a personal friend of Ronnie DeFeo, Jr. - The alleged haunting of the Lutz Family; paranormal investigator and famed ghost hunter Hans Holzer's thoughts on the Amityville House; Christopher Quaratino, son of Kathy Lutz, and the secrets of his stepfather George Lutz; why the documentary goes beyond asking the old question of whether the Amityville Haunting was "real" or a "hoax"; The Amityville Horror and the birth of the "Based on a True Story" marketing; demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren, now famous for being the basis of the hit The Conjuring movie franchise, and their investigation of the Amityville House; Amityville: An Origin Story's interview with Lutz family friend Carol Soviero - The role famed filmmaker John Carpenter, director of the suspenseful horror classic Halloween (1978), plays in Amityville: An Origin Story - The Amityville House as a character in an of itself; Amityville: An Origin Story's exploration of the idea of home, real estate, and the warping of the American dream through the funhouse mirror of the Amityville story; the difficulty of living in the Amityville house today due to tourists and the general cultural baggage the house carries; the movie's tagline "For God's Sake, Get Out!" and the infamous Eddie Murphy about The Amityville Horror - The role of greed and profiteering in the perpetuation of Amityville saga in popular culture - The Amityville Horror and the ancient Indian burial ground trope in horror as it relates to both settler-colonial guilt and bigotry against Native Americans - The Amityville Horror in relation to conversations about the concept of a "post-truth" era; parallels between the 70s and today and the continued cultural resonance that the Amityville saga carries even now - The Amityville saga as a microcosm of the idea that there's "no new stories to be told" - Amityville: An Origin Story as part true crime documentary, part paranormal documentary recounting the Lutz Family's 28 days in the 112 Ocean Avenue house, part investigative journalism, and part cultural history documentary exploring The Amityville Horror's significance to cinema - And much, much more!

On this week's episode, Allison tells the story behind one of America's most well known haunted locations. The Amityville Horror House is ingrained in pop culture, but the story behind the murders that occurred in this home were truly gruesome and riddled with controversy

Dubbed as America's Most Evil House, the Amityville Horror House is infamous and iconic. Following the horrific slaying of 6 members of the DeFeo family, the Lutz family moved in for only 28 days, and experienced intense paranormal activity that caused them to flee. Did the DeFeo murders cause an evil to become unleashed, or was the infestation there long before the first owner? Become a PATRON and help us to make content and go crazy places: https://www.patreon.com/evppodcast Connect with us on social media: YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvpS_7TZj8aq1Pzst7ljG6wINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/everythingvaguelyparanormal/ FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/everythingvaguelyparanormal TWITTER: https://twitter.com/evppodcast

We are BACK and full throttle with this series. The infamous Amityville house is among the elite when it comes to reputation. Pop-culture has solidified it as the epitome of what a haunted house should be. The Amityville Horror phenomenon has spawned countless amounts of cinema, books, articles, and, yes even podcasts, but what makes this thing tick?Is it the "based on true events" ceremoniously typed on the cover?  There is no question the house that was once 112 Ocean Ave. bore witness to ghastly events the night the Defeo family was slaughtered. In this episode we delve into the initial crime of which Ronald Defeo Jr. stood convicted of and his case.Next week, we will dismantle the haunting after the Lutz family moves into the home and evacuates just 28 days later.  But, is the house truly haunted or were we duped? Did the Lutz's pull off the most well executed hoaxes of all time? How much of what you believe to be true about Amityville has been influenced by pop-culture?Stick around  and decide for yourself.Trailer included in this episode for: https://linktr.ee/WorldsTrueCrime?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=eee8c97e-a917-4082-b68e-50810ebddf73Check them out!Reseach Resources: https://amityvillemurders.com/https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1591095867/sr=1-1/qid=1156359416/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-1554051-8070539?ie=UTF8&s=bookshttps://english.elpais.com/usa/2022-01-10/it-wasnt-ghosts-but-something-worse-the-brutal-truth-about-amityville.htmlhttps://allthatsinteresting.com/amityville-horror-househttps://www.biography.com/news/the-real-amityville-horror-factsSupport the show

Despite full disclosure by the real estate agent of the house's history, George and Kathy buy the house. George says, "Houses don't have memories," but they turn to their family priest Father Delaney who believes the house is haunted and performs an exorcism on the house. But satanic forces in the place cause him to become blind and make him very sick. With the help of another priest Father Bolen and a police detective, George and Kathy face the fears of the house, but not knowing the forces are planning to possess George and then the children.Real-life Story - Thirty miles outside of New York City, nestled in the Long Island town of Amityville, stands the house forever linked to the Amityville Horror phenomenon. On November 13, 1974, the estate was the scene of mass murder. Using a .35 Marlin rifle, 23-year-old Ronald J. DeFeo Jr. murdered his entire family while they were asleep, which included his parents and four siblings.Crazy Movie Trivia - James Brolin was hesitant when he was first offered the role of George Lutz. He was told that there was no script and that he must obtain a copy of Jay Anson's novel and read it as soon as possible. Brolin started the book one evening at seven o'clock and was still reading at two o'clock in the morning. He had hung a pair of his pants up in the room earlier and at a really "tense" part in the book, the pants fell down from wherever they had been hanging. Brolin jumped out of his chair, nearly crashing his head into the ceiling. Then, Brolin said, "There's something to this story." He agreed to do the movie.For years rumors have circulated that the movie was to be filmed in the actual house in Amityville, NY, but the production team was too frightened to film inside the house. The reality is the town of Amityville denied American International Pictures permission to film any scenes whatsoever in Amityville in an attempt to distance themselves from any publicity. Therefore, AIP found a two-story Dutch-Colonial home in Toms River, NJ, in which to film the exteriors. A third-floor facade was added, along with the crescent moon windows on both sides of the house. Almost all interior scenes were filmed at MGM studios in Culver City, CA. A few interior scenes were filmed inside the actual Toms River house, including the scene when George returns from the boathouse in the middle of the night, then walks onto the sun porch to light a cigarette. In that scene, you can see there's no wallpaper and no door in the living room, whereas on the soundstage the living room has wallpaper and a door near the bookshelf.Cinematographer Fred J. Koenekamp admitted to having a hard time filming the scenes with the flies, as he claimed to be scared of insects. He says that whenever he was to film a scene with a close-up facial shot of a fly right in the camera, he would look away or close his eyes and hope for a good shot. He also lost nearly 30 pounds because he refused to eat, saying the flies made him lose his appetite.In hopes of creating more publicity for the film, the studio would concoct stories of "weird" occurrences on the set of the film.The basement featured in this movie, is shown to be a dark and creepy dungeon like room. In reality, the real home in Amityville has a finished basement that was used as a rec room when the DeFeo family lived in the home. The other portion of the basement is used as a laundry room and storage area. The original house also had a swimming pool at one time, until a newer set of owners had it filled in.The Lutz family went on to live a relatively normal life free of paranormal activity after escaping the house, but their peace was short-lived. George and Kathy Lutz divorced in the late 1980s. George died of heart disease on 8 May 2006, in Clark County, Nevada, and Kathy died of emphysema on 17 August 2004, in Scottsdale, Arizona. The three children--Daniel, Christopher, and Missy--are adults and remain out of the public eye. Their names were changed for the film.The film never makes it clear what was happening to Carolyn once she finally saw the red room in the basement of the house. It was commonly believed among fans and viewers that she was experiencing possession. Helen Shaver, who plays Carolyn, is often asked the question and answers that she wasn't experiencing a demonic possession, but rather a sensory overload. Carolyn is a clairvoyant, and sensitive to the supernatural, so she was experiencing the pain, torture, and sadness of all the souls trapped in hell being thrown at her all at once, as the red room is said to be the entrance to hell. She covered her ears in the scene because she could hear the screams of agony belonging to all the punished souls in hell, causing her a sensory overload.Leave a rating/review if you enjoyed this episode.

Most of us likely know at least something about this case. “The Amityville Horror” is part of American horror culture. But I wanted to dig more into the true crime part of this story, and really get into the details of the brutal murders that started this whole phenomenon. Don't worry, though. We can't talk about the house on Ocean Avenue without also discussing wether or not it's haunted. This is a case that truly has everything we love to talk about on this show: murder, mystery, and a haunting.

It had always been a dream of the couple to own a large family home and their dream had finally come true when they set eyes on the large home of 112. It is known that Ronald DeFeo Sr had worked for his father-in-law's Brooklyn Buick dealership and had spent many years saving the benefits that came from the job. However, Brooklyn had never been the family's dream and after viewing the large boathouse, the couple knew they had found their forever home. Within weeks, Ronald DeFeo Sr and Louise had moved to their new home with their four children – Ronald DeFeo Jr, Dawn, Allison and Marc. Shortly after the move, the couple then welcomed John Matthew.

November 13, 1974. South shore Long Island, NY. Six members of the DeFeo family are shot dead around 3 am on Ocean Avenue. Mother, Father, two sons and two daughters. Surviving? The oldest child, 23 year old Ronald DeFeo, Jr. These tragic murders have long-since been overshadowed by a family that moved into 112 Ocean Ave after the DeFeos were brutally killed—The Lutz family—of whom none died. There are books, documentaries, more than one Hollywood movie and tons of believers as well as skeptics about this home. In Part Two, and in this week's episode, we're joined by Psychic Medium Kathryn Kauffman who is here to help us all understand the tragedy, the fame and the paranormal activity that followed.

John and Jamie from the True Crimecast podcast return to talk about the murder case that is believed to have started the infamous Amityville Horror movie franchise! They share the details and circumstances surrounding the DeFeo Family murders that may have been the root cause of the scary hauntings and paranormal events that drove the Lutz family out of the Amityville house after just 28 days! In 1974, Ronald DeFeo was convicted of killing his parents and four siblings in the Amityville house while they slept. The Lutz family purchased the DeFeo home in Amityville, Long Island, New York, in 1975 and immediately started experiencing strange, paranormal events as soon as they moved in. After 28 torturous days, the Lutz' fled the house with the clothes on their backs and never returned. The Lutz family's story became the smash film, “Amityville Horror,” and the DeFeo murders were used as the basis for the movie's sequel. 

On this episode we'll take a look at the 1979 film, The Amityville Horror, a story about George and Kathy Lutz and their tale of intense dread and chilling horror that would inspire several books and more than half a dozen films.Bleeding walls, glowing red eyes, forces of evil commanding you to GET OUT, and swarms of flies...This is the story of the Amityville Horror and the events, both real and imagined, that created an American Horror story that has thrilled audiences for over 60 years.Please like, subscribe, and share!Connect with us and subscribe to the show at https://linktr.ee/reelcrimes

Ronald Defeo murdered his entire family in their home in the middle of the night. A little over a year later another family moved into the home. They left their belongings and fled the home less than a month later claiming the house was possessed by evil spirits. These events were the basis for a 1970s book and later movie, called "The Amityville Horror." What actually happened in one of the most terrifying houses in America?

Episode 176: On the night of November 13, 1974, In the sleepy community of Amityville on the coast of Long Island, New York, a 23-year-old man named Ronald (Butch) DeFeo Jr. came running into a local bar. He was distraught and claiming his whole family, his mother and father and 4 siblings, had been murdered in their home, a large Dutch Colonial house located at 112 Ocean Avenue. However, it was later determined it was Butch himself who'd annihilated his family. A year later, Butch was convicted on six counts of second-degree murder and received an equal number of sentences of 25 years to life in prison for slaughtering his family as they slept. A month after Butch DeFeo's conviction, the Lutz family, Kathy, George and their three kids moved into the property having purchased it for a steal, $80,000. But, after only 28 days in the house, the Lutz family fled. They claimed they'd been chased out by relentless psychic torture inflicted on them by some unseen presence; they thought demonic, who'd made life in the house impossible. A 1977 book on the case by author Jay Anson titled The Amityville Horror, and subsequent film in 1979 introduced the story to an international audience and has become one of the most well-known, most covered and at the same time, controversial tales of hauntings and demonic possession in history.

Do you know the true story behind the Amityville Horror movies? In part two & final episode of this series, we head back to 112 Ocean Avenue with the story of George & Kathy Lutz. One year after the Amityville Murders of the Defeo Family, George & Kathy Lutz would purchase the High Hopes home. Within 28 days the Lutz family would flee the residence claiming they were tortured & tormented by a demonic presence in the home. The events in the home would spawn the creation of the book "The Amityville Horror" by Jay Anson & countless horror movies.
