George and Kathy Lutz moved into 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York, in December 1975, roughly one year after its previous residents were shot and killed in their sleep. They fled less than a month later, leaving behind their belongings and claiming to have been terrorized by demonic forces. This story served as the basis for Jay Anson's 1977 book, which itself spawned nine follow-ups, more than 60 films, and countless parodies and homages. A half a century later, what's it like to revisit the non-fiction (?) book that started it all? The Losers' Club finds that out in the latest episode of their Danse Macabre series, in which they discuss the books and movies recommended by King in his 1981 horror treatise of the same name. Losers Jenn Adams, Randall Colburn, Ashley Casseday, and Ana Marie Cox unpack the disputations, lawsuits, and defenses that color the book's history, as well as whether you can ever read a story as it was originally intended after its been fed through the pop cultural gristmill.

Amityville is synonymous with horror movies, but that's because of a real-life tragedy that happened on 13th November, 1974, when Ronald DeFeo Jr. murdered his parents and his four younger siblings. Initially, he claimed a mob hitman was responsible, but later confessed to the crimes. After the murders, newlyweds George and Kathy Lutz moved in to the DeFeo house, bringing along Kathy's three children and their dog, Harry. Within 28 days, however, they'd fled, claiming paranormal experiences on the property, from swarms of flies to visions of a demonic pig. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal what happened when the Lutzes took a polygraph test; explain how their story snowballed into first a bestselling book, then a movie franchise; and consider how the town has coped with its consequent celebrity status… Further Reading: • ‘Amityville Murders: The True Story Of The Killings That Inspired The Movie' (All Thats Interesting, 2022): https://allthatsinteresting.com/amityville-murders • 'The Amityville Horror House' (Long Island Guide): https://www.longislandguide.com/visit/amityville-horror-house/ • ‘THE AMITYVILLE HORROR' (MGM, 1979): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbCJv_vWyQA Love the show?

On December 18, 1975, George and Kathy Lutz moved their family into their new house on Ocean Avenue in Amityville, NY, where, just one year earlier, Ronald DeFeo Jr. had murdered all six members of his family. Twenty-eight days later, the Lutz family fled the home, leaving behind all their belongings and vowing never to return again. According to the Lutzes, their time in the house on Ocean Avenue was a nightmare of psychic attacks and demonic activity that put them in fear for their lives.The supposed experience of the Lutz family served as the basis for the iconic haunted house story, The Amityville Horror, and the countless films adapted from or inspired by the original novel. However, unlike most other stories of paranormal experiences, The Amityville Horror became a phenomenon that influenced everything from Ronald DeFeo's criminal defense to the American public's belief in the supernatural. Yet for all their talk of it being a genuine story of demonic activity, in the years since the publication of The Amityville Horror, a large body of evidence from skeptical evaluations to court records and interview transcripts suggest that America's most notorious haunted house might not have been quite so haunted after all.Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!!ReferencesAnsen, Jay. 1978.

Tackling the story most requested by Dark House listeners, Alyssa and Hadley come face to face with 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York, the Dutch-Colonial house that inspired The Amityville Horror. The best-selling-book-turned-hit-movie tells the dramatic tale of George and Kathy Lutz, a young newlywed couple who purchased 112 Ocean Avenue in December of 1975, just a year after previous owners Ron and Louise DeFeo and four of their children were brutally murdered in the home. Having fled from the house only 28 days after moving in, the Lutzes told friends and neighbors that "unseen forces" drove them out. Looking to understand why today—despite the fact that the movie remains a classic—the Lutz's story is widely regarded as a hoax, the hosts dig for nuggets of truth buried under a mountain of lies and internet theories. They take a closer look at the DeFeo case and what could've possibly motivated Butch DeFeo, Ron and Louise's eldest son, to commit such a heinous crime, as well as what exactly the Lutzes said happened to them in those 28 days living at the house, and how their credibility has been called into question since. Plus, they discover why the next family to move in after the Lutzes was also forced to abandon the home.

The 1979 film "The Amityville Horror" is a horror movie directed by Stuart Rosenberg and based on a 1977 novel of the same name by Jay Anson. The film is loosely inspired by the alleged supernatural events that occurred in a house located at 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York, in 1974. These events were reported by the Lutz family, who claimed to have experienced a series of disturbing and paranormal occurrences shortly after moving into the house. The film stars James Brolin as George Lutz and Margot Kidder as Kathy Lutz, a newlywed couple who move into the infamous house with Kathy's three children from a previous marriage. As they settle into their new home, they begin to experience a range of eerie and terrifying phenomena, including strange noises, unexplained odors, and disturbing visions. As the paranormal activity intensifies, George becomes increasingly aggressive and distant, and the family's well-being is put at risk. The movie builds tension through a combination of supernatural occurrences and psychological horror, as the Lutz family's sanity is tested by the malevolent forces they believe are haunting their home. It explores themes of family, possession, and the thin line between reality and the supernatural. "The Amityville Horror" was a commercial success upon its release, capitalizing on the popularity of supernatural horror films during that era. However, it received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising its atmosphere and scares while others criticized its pacing and reliance on familiar horror tropes. The film's success led to a series of sequels, spin-offs, and remakes, but the original 1979 adaptation remains one of the most well-known renditions of the Amityville haunting story. It's worth noting that while the film is loosely based on real events, much of the story has been embellished and sensationalized for dramatic effect, and the actual veracity of the claims made by the Lutz family has been widely disputed. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/100horrors/message

It became a ghastly crime scene, when Ronald DeFeo Jr., with a rifle, killed his parents and four siblings while they slept. But it wasn't until after the Lutz family moved into the house, 1 month later in December of 1975 that the Amityville Horror is said to have truly begun. George and Kathy Lutz bought their dream house — but fled in terror within 28 days after incidents occurred that defied logic and reason.Anne Rzechowicz & Renata Daniel examine this case from multiple angles, reviewing the findings of many investigators from reporter, Laura DiDio, to paranormal researchers, Dr. Hans Holzer, Ed and Lorraine Warren and a Vampirologist? What is the real truth of this 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!

The name Amityville literally translates to “friendship village”—but because of the tragic murders that took place in that Long Island community in 1974, and because of the bestselling book and blockbuster movie that followed, that name has taken on a definition with decidedly sinister connotations. Now, when people hear “Amityville,” they think “horror.” But is that association warranted? Was the house at 112 Ocean Avenue truly a nexus of demonic activity? Or was it all just a brilliant hoax cooked up by George and Kathy Lutz to capitalize on a tragedy?

Their drive to be believed and understood led them to an array of paranormal experts, religious figures and media personalities. On the night of March 6, 1976, reporter Laura Didio would help to put together a massive team of these personalities to investigate and understand exactly what, was happening at 112 Ocean Avenue. This would be a night none of them would ever forget. Members of the Channel 5 camera crew would get violently ill and have visions they couldn't explain.

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.

On November 13, 1974, Ronald DeFeo Jr. shot and killed six members of his family at 112 Ocean Avenue, a large Dutch Colonial house situated in a suburban neighborhood in Amityville, on the south shore of Long Island, New York. He was convicted of second-degree murder in November 1975 and sentenced to six sentences of 25 years to life in prison. DeFeo died in custody in March 2021.

George and Kathy Lutz knew that the experience they endured, which would later me known as The Amityville Horror was real. Their drive to be believed and understood led them to an array of paranormal experts, religious figures and media personalities. On the night of March 6, 1976, reporter Laura Didio would help to put together a massive team of these personalities to investigate and understand exactly what, was happening at 112 Ocean Avenue. This would be a night none of them would ever forget. Members of the Channel 5 camera crew would get violently ill and have visions they couldn't explain. Sensitives would become overwhelmed and be forced to leave. And the spirit of what appears to be a ghost boy was caught on camera.

This creepy Halloween bonus episode explores the horrors and mystery surrounding the infamous Amityville Murder House. The legend began in the early hours of November 13, 1974, when Ronald DeFeo Jr. picked up a Marlin rifle and shot all six of his family members execution style as they were lying in their beds. His subsequent defense plea detailed that he had heard voices telling him to commit the atrocity, which began a whirlwind of paranormal speculations that peaked when the next owners of the home published about their own experiences. That couple, George and Kathy Lutz, became famous for thir 28 days residing in the Amityville home, reporting an intensely evil presence that destroyed property and terrified the whole family. Were they lying to profit off of a tragedy? Were they tormented by an evil presence that also drove Ronald DeFeo to kill? Or were they visited by the spirits of the murdered DeFeo family?

In the early evening hours of November 13, 1974, a young bearded man burst into a local bar in Amityville, New York in a panic. He believed his parents might have been shot, and he didn't know what to do. Several patrons at the bar followed him home in order to help. What they found would horrify the community. In the home on 112 Ocean Avenue, six bodies lay dead, all shot to death. The police were called and the investigation began. It didn't take long for detectives to come to the conclusion that Ronald Joseph DeFeo, Jr. had killed his own family hours before bursting into the bar. But the story wouldn't stop there. It didn't stop once Ronald, or Butch as he was known, was convicted. The house itself would become infamous. A month after DeFeo's conviction, George and Kathy Lutz would move into the home only to leave 28 days later. They claimed the house was possessed. This claim led to a book and then a series of popular horror films. In this episode, we discuss the claims by the Lutzes, the murders committed by DeFeo, and then go deep into his Italian immigrant roots where we found family ties to the Genovese crime family.

The Amityville haunting is a modern folk story based on the true crimes of Ronald DeFeo Jr. On November 13, 1974, DeFeo shot and killed six members of his family at 112 Ocean Avenue, Amityville, on the south shore of Long Island, New York. He was convicted of second-degree murder in November 1975. George and Kathy Lutz and their three children moved into the house. After 28 days, the Lutzes left the house, claiming to have been terrorized by paranormal phenomena while living there. These events served as the historical basis for Jay Anson's 1977 novel The Amityville Horror, which was followed by a number of sequels and was adapted into a film of the same name in 1979. Since then, many films have been produced that draw explicitly, to a greater or lesser extent, from these historical and literary sources. As Amityville is a real town and the stories of DeFeo and the Lutzes are historical, there can be no proprietary relationship to the underlying story elements associated with the Amityville haunting. As a result of this, there has been no restriction on the exploitation of the story by film producers, which is the reason that most of these films share no continuity, were produced by different companies, and tell widely varying stories.

We've all heard about it and of course we've seen the Ryan Reynolds 2005 remake of The Amityville Horror at least once. 112 Ocean Avenue, Amityville, New York is famously known for the six person murder that went on inside one November morning. Ronald Defeo Jr killed his parents and four siblings at 3:15am on the 13th of November in 1973. He claims that there were voices telling him to "kill them all", so he did just that. Some may say that he was just a troubled young adult. But his attorney argued a plea of insanity due to the voices Defeo claims to have heard. Regardless, Defeo was sentenced to life in prison.Just 13 months after the murders George and Kathy Lutz bought the house for $80,000 and moved in with Kathy's three young children. They lasted less than one month in the home before leaving due to fear of safety for their family. Even a priest ran out of the home after hearing a voice yell "Get out!". There are claims that the Lutz made up the entire story for a book deal. If so, then how did they pass a lie detector test? Soon after the Lutzs left, The Warrens visited the home where both Ed and Lorraine had supernatural experience. The dark history of the home and land where soon revealed. Once land to native Indians where they would keep the sick and insane in an enclosure to die. Then home to John Ketchum who practiced black magic and even had his body buried on the land. The Warrens stated that there is a strong presence of evil in the home and by the history we can see why. Classic Belinda scares herself making a scary voice.

Top 5 Most Haunted Houses in America Home is where the heart is. A place where families and couples can grow old together and live happily ever after. But sometimes, things don't always go as planned. The next five houses started out full of promise but ended up filled with tragedy. As time passed something other then people has taken up residence within their walls. These are the top 5 most haunted houses in America. 5. The Sylvester K. Pierce Victorian Mansion The SK Pierce mansion was a true marvel for its time. Built in Gardner Massachusetts, The 7,000 sq. foot home contained 10 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, large Victorian windows, 11-foot ceilings, marble fireplaces and beautiful moldings in every corner. Nothing was overlooked. 4. The Kreischer Mansion Built on top of a hill in Staten Island, the Kreischer Mansion overlooks the Arthur Kill, a small body of water that separates New York and New Jersey. When it was first built, there were actually two identical mansions right next to each other but the other mansion has since burnt down. Built by Balthasar Kreischer, he found his fortune creating fireproof bricks. He created the identical mansions for his two sons, Charles and Edward. A year after it was finished, Balthasar died and the company business fell on tough times. Not soon after, Edward shot and killed himself following an argument with someone in the factory or some say, after arguing with his brother. 3. Franklin Castle Built in 1881, Franklin Castle served as the home of German immigrant, Hannes Tiedemann. After moving from Germany, Hannes became a successful grocer and banker and he amassed a large fortune. The home was built not just to house his family in Cleveland Ohio but also to accommodate immigrating relatives for the first few months of their arrival. Even before moving into the community, Hannes had gained a reputation in the community for being a "loud and harsh man." This demeanor caused many to speculate that the many mysterious deaths that happened within the castle had something to do with him. 2. The Whaley House History and folklore convene at San Diego's Whaley House. First built in 1855, many people say the house was destined to become haunted even before it was built. The land where it stands was once a graveyard. Subsequently, it was used for public executions including the public hanging of famous Yankee thief, Jim Robinson. However, this wouldn't stop Thomas Whaley from building his home on the property. Built as the first brick building in California, it featured Greek Revival architecture and completed with rosewood and mahogany furniture. 1. The Amityville House One of the most famous haunted houses in the US, the legacy of the Amityville horror has lived on for generations. While many criticize the story as a hoax, others believe there was something sinister in the home while the Lutz's lived there. So what really happened in Long Island, NY at 112 Ocean Avenue? It all began with the flies. Despite being the middle of December, plagues of flies would swarm the house as George and Kathy Lutz, along with their three kids, unpacked. Their new dream home, which they nicknamed "High Hopes" was the start of a new beginning for the family. The Dutch Colonial style home featured six bedrooms, a swimming pool and a boathouse since it was near a canal. The house had sat empty for nearly a year before the Lutzes purchased it for $80,000 –a bargain for a home of that style and size. But there was a good reason why. So those were the Top 5 Most Haunted Houses in America They say time heals all wounds but in the case of these houses, it seems the wounds and the entities living there refuse to heal and they certainly aren’t moving on anytime soon.

The only remaining member of the Defeo family, Sonny was convicted of the crime. One of his defense strategies was to try and make the jury believe that an evil spirit commanded him to commit the murders. Amityville II is the story of that family and how it would have been if his demonic tale was true. Join the Horror 101 team as they dissect this Dino De Laurentiis production. We'll give you facts from the original case, audio and music from the film and by the end of the show we guarantee you'll agree that Amityville II is by far the most superior horror film in the Amityville series.
