Episode 41: The Amityville Horror Part III

Jay and Noelle talk us through the Amityville controversies.

This story contains:

1. Author Jay Anson never met the Lutzes. (He wrote his book off of 45 Hours of audio tape!)

2. In the late 1970s, Father Pecoraro stated in an affidavit that his only contact with the Lutzes concerning the matter had been by telephone. (Priests don’t lie!)

3. The owners who moved in just after the Luztes - Jim and Barbara Cromarty - say nothin’ happened. (Red Room was just tacky!)

4. In May 1977, George and Kathy Lutz filed a lawsuit - $4.5 million - against Hearst. (They lost!)

5. 20 days after the Lutz's fled, Marvin Scott - a news reporter with channel 5 NY - called in Ed and Lorraine Warren. (And, the Amityville Horror became famous forever.)
