I just saw the trailer for this. Man this looks awesome! Can't wait to see it. Cool movie to remake.

I remember seeing the original with Margot Kidder when I was like 12 and being scarred out of my mind. I saw it again recently...it definitely did not age well.

One thing, the trailer said "based on a true story"...I thought it was proven it was a hoax. Anyone know for sure?

it was a true story. I lived in Amityville for the most of my life. I've been to the house and seen it...nothing scary. But the guy did kill all these people

Facts surrounding the "Amityville Horror House"


The Amityville Horror has turned from a real suburban American tragedy into a horrific myth. It has become the source of bestselling novels and the subject of several movies.

These are some of the facts as they are known.

On November 13, 1974, in the house at 112 Ocean Ave., Amityville, 24-year-old Ronald DeFeo murdered his family. DeFeo used a high-powered rifle, shot to death his father, mother, two brothers and two sisters. All six members of Ronald DeFeo’s family were killed as they slept and all, said police, were found lying in the same position, on their stomachs with their heads resting on their arms.

At his murder trial, Ronald DeFeo testified that he had killed his family because he had heard voices. "Whenever I looked around, there was no one there, so it must have been God talking to me," he said.

On December 18, 1975, more than a year after the terrible murders, a family of five moved in. They were George and Kathy Lutz and their children Daniel, 9, Christopher, 7 and Missy 5. Twenty eight days later the family fled the house, claiming it was haunted.
