If you don't know the Amityville story check out the original 1979 film starring Margo Kidder and James Brolin. It is an entertaining flick, in that freaky, kitchy way that only 70's horror films can be (also see: The Exorist/Rosemary's Baby). It's worth the rental fee just to see Margo's flash wardrobe.
Don't bother with the new version. It's campy, gory and over-acted, making it painfully hard to suspend your disbelief.
It is a pretty crazy story if you have any taste for the paranormal. To get the full scoop on this real life house of horrors, check out the interview that George Lutz did with my favorite basement podcasters: Ghostly Talk. The interview is in 4 parts on their archive page and is free to download. Just scroll down and you'll find it labelled "George Lutz".
And all of you d.i.n.k.s who are currently trolling the real estate market, REMEMBER...if your dream house is selling for well under market value, there may just be a portal to hell in the basement.
