[PARANORMAL] - Ep. 11 - The Amityville Horror Part 2 - A Halloween Special Podcast - Beach House 34

This episode is about The Amityville Horror. First came the book which became a best-seller, next came the movie, which is what most people are familiar with. The movie debuted in 1979 and shattered box office records not to mention scaring millions of people.

 

To date, it remains one of the scariest movies ever made, not because it was just a scary horror movie but because it was based on incidents that really occurred to a family over a 28-day period.

Along with the film's success came skeptics who believe the entire thing was made up to make money.

 

Part of the reason some people believe the story is made up is that the book and the movie both took quite a bit of creative license; in other words, what happened to the family was quite real, but how it was portrayed in the book and the movie was…shall we say…made more for entertainment purposes rather than telling the truth.

 

The truth was scary enough; there was no reason to elaborate on it.

 

What isn’t in factual dispute, however, is that a man who lived in the home before it became known as the Amityville house, Ron DeFeo, did kill his entire family and was sentenced to 6 sentences of 25-years to life at the Sullivan Correctional Facility in upstate Fallsburg, New York. He died in prison in 2021 at the age of 69.

 

This 2-part podcast will cover the DeFeo murders, what supposedly led to them, and the Lutz’s who moved into the home shortly after the murders happened so grab your popcorn…
