True crime and a haunted house? This week we take a look at the Amityville Horror story! In November of 1974, Ronald DeFeo Jr. shot and murdered the other 6 members of his family in their home on 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York. One year later, George and Kathy Lutz bought the home, and allegedly had some horrifying paranormal experiences there. They wrote a book, the book became a movie, and the rest is history! In this episode, John and I discuss the original movie starring James Brolin and Margot Kidder, the iconic nature of the house (and it's quarter round windows), the bizarre nature of the DeFeo murders, how much of the Lutz's story is fact and how much is fiction, and a personal familial connection I have to the house. What do you believe is behind the Amityville Horror? Let us know in the comments below!
