Margot Kidder, I’m so sorry that her final years were so difficult and that the end came like it did. In the late 70s and early 80s, she was Lois Lane to so many, a beautiful woman fron Canada who become one of the biggest stars of her era. I always though she was great in Amityville.

Same with me, every time time I see a Dutch Colonial Home I can hear that music in my head. So yes maybe the musical score really played it's part very well in the movie, and left it's imprinting on many, many people. There was something said that the theme from The Amityville Horror was first intended for The Exorcist but was turned down and than The Exorcist has the Tubular Bells music as part of the movies musical score.

I prefer this one to the remake the remake cheapened it by slaughtering the dog I thought that was gruesome and a cheap scare and the movie was scary enough it did not need it George Lutz sued over it he did not kill their dog as in this one he rescued it and they all rant together Harry in tow they lost their life savings and every thing they owned precious keepsakes pictures of the kids so if they made this up they did it for noting they could not predict people would buy it and their story never changed the producers embellished and the book author did but the familt never did of course Webber would say they were in on it he was as crooked as Butch who always tried to blame his dead sister the lutzes gained nothing from this it was true and it destroyed them Kathy looked tormented till the day she died and they both died young especially her one of the kids says things but he may be angry and have issues

It was about as true as the people who told it. They got themselves into big time debt and were devious enough to find a way to cash in on its dark history. And people were dumb enough to buy into it because everyone loves a good ghost story. But it does make a heck of a ghost story. One of the Lutz kids actually said it was all crap and that they were fed lines of what to say happened or they saw.

my family lived in a house in Derbyshire UK that was haunted. My mum and dad and older sister and Grandfather arent liars or crazies or anything like that. It happened, they saw, heard, felt and smelt things that were real, but also supernatural. luckily the haunting was not evil, just active. I wasnt born, my mum was pregnant but my earliest memory is me as a 3 year old playing under a willow tree and then having out of body experiences at a house that i later recognized from photos as that house. I remember the view of me sitting under the willow tree playing with a toy and i remember the "trip" i took all my life but it wasnt until i was about 10 that i first saw 2 photos of the house they had lived in for a few months before i was born and i recognised it as the house i used to travel around. there wasnt a photo of the tree in the garden but I was told there was one. What is really weird is that in my memories i am playing with a toy i had when i was three and when i look down at myself before i enter myself through the top of my head i clearly look like a child of about that age BUT i am outside of the house that i never lived in except in the womb. Its freaky and obviously ive never forgotten that and i never will. I live in China now and i am very happy that the people here honour their dead and honour the spirits/gods with countless little shrines everywhere. I think that is a good thing. This supernatural shit is real. if you dont know about it then its ok to laugh but dont be an arsehole and accuse others of lying. Its just not like that. I think that house today is probably ok and peaceful but i dont doubt that in the 70's something very bad was going on and it wasnt all from this world so to speak. Anyway we live in a world where hidden things exist, you just have to see them to believe but if you never see them then thats ok too.

I grew up in Toms River and watched some of the filming at the house. I remember it being a big deal at the time. I didn't see any actors during the filming I saw. Just 'rain and lightning'. My father was a volunteer firefighter in Toms River and helped out a little on the movie early on. The guy doing the special effects came up to him at the firehouse and asked about providing 'snow' in the movie which is what they originally wanted. They tried using foam, but it just didn't work, so they switched to rain. From what I heard from my father as he watched some of the filming, James Brolin was a bit of a jerk when someone asked for his autograph.
