Episode 2: The Amityville Horror

NOTE: As one of our first episodes, the quality of our recording methods wasn't as advanced and we had only a basic knowledge of making a podcast. Many of the reviews don't take that into consideration. If you're just starting out with our show, please try one of our later episodes before writing a nasty review.

In November of 1974, 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York was the scene of the gruesome mass killing of the DeFeo family by their older son, Butch Defeo. 

14 months later, the next residents of this house fled their property due to a series of terrifying paranormal experiences. Their story inspired The Amityville Horror movie franchise. 

This is Based on a True Crime.

Based on a True Crime is a podcast where Chelsea’s love of true crime and David’s love of horror movies intersect. Each week we will be discussing murders and/or mysteries, along with the pop culture they have spawned.
