The Amityville Horror is one of the most publicized hauntings in American history. But 13 months before the Lutz family's short and spooky stay in the famous house on Ocean Avenue, the real horror came - in the form of six grisly murders, in one night, under one roof.

In the first of a two-part series, Sean gives us a primer on the horror behind the horror - the tragic deaths of the DeFeo family, and the "comedy" of errors that followed.
