DRUNK ABOUT SOMETHING AMITYVILLE RECAP
A brutal family murder, a discounted dream home, and a legend that swallowed a neighborhood—Amityville is as much a story about us as it is about a house. We walk through the facts of the DeFeo killings, then slow down to examine how a decade of grief turned into a global ghost franchise. The details that matter—addiction, violence, a rushed confession, and shifting insanity claims—sit next to the details that sell: cold rooms that no fire could fix, swarms of flies, a red‑eyed “friend” named Jody, and yes, a midnight marching band that feels made for the movies.
We talk about why George and Kathy Lutz bought 112 Ocean Avenue, furniture included, and how their claims escalated alongside meetings with lawyers, book percentages, and the media engine that followed. We revisit the priest’s alleged experiences, the Warrens’ high-profile investigation, and the infamous “ghost boy” photo that likely showed a team member. Then we zoom out: later owners reported no hauntings, only harassment from crowds. Windows were changed, the address was updated, and still the myth persisted—because a profitable story is harder to evict than any spirit.
If you’re drawn to true crime, paranormal history, and the ethics that separate commemoration from exploitation, this one will stick with you. We’re not out to crush belief; we’ve had our own strange moments and talk candidly about signs, memory, and unfinished business. But we also follow the money, question credibility, and push for respect where it’s due: to the victims, to the neighborhood, and to the truth that doesn’t need jump scares to hold up.
Hit play, then tell us what you think: haunting or hustle? If you enjoy our deep dives, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a quick review—it helps more curious minds find us.
