In 1974, in the quiet town of Amityville, an entire family was murdered in their sleep. One child remained and was later arrested for the murders. A year later, another family moved into the house where the murders took place and claimed that many scary and horrible things were happening. They only stayed in the house for 28 days before fleeing for their lives. 

Since then, two movies and a couple books have been released about the happenings of the 112 Ocean Avenue house. Listen as Renee and Zack dive into what is fact and what is fiction in the 2006 remake of Amityville Horror.
