Have you ever wanted to live in a house? Well, do I have the deal of a lifetime! There’s a famously haunted house for sale, right now, and YOU can buy it. You don’t have to buy your own ghosts online, you can just pony up $1.5 million dollars and buy the world’s most famous haunted house in Amityville, New York. The five-bedroom Dutch Colonial that was the basis for the Jay Anson book (and subsequent movie series) The Amityville Horror has been put on the market.
The home is the site of a reported massacre by Ronald DeFeo Jr., who killed six members of his own family while they slept in 1974, having reportedly been driven mad by forces unknown. In December 1975, George and Kathleen Lutz moved into the house, only to discover that the house was haunted. The subsequent furor over the house, thanks to the best-selling novel by Jay Anson that may or may not, but probably isn’t, non-fiction has made the house a favorite with area tourists, especially on Halloween.
Now, it can be yours. It’s a gorgeous house, demons or not.

I was thinking of buying it but I am down to my last 1.5 Million and I don't want to spend it all in one place.

My brother used to make fun of me when I was a child and the book came out. Whenever we saw a house with the quarter-moon top floor windows I would always say "Hey, that looks just like the Amityville 'whore' house."

LOL I remember my parents cracking up in the car once when I said the same thing. Good Times

On a personal note The Amityville Horror was the first "R" rated movie I saw in the theater. It still holds a special place in my heart. It was at Eastland Mall...Ah the gool ol' days how I miss the....

Heh, I worked at that one for a while, too. Not long, though. They still had Union projectionists at the time. Couldn't get a gig in the booth. Boy that digs up memories of the past ...

Did you work there before they split it into 2 screens?

No, no, I was well past the single-house era and in fact left only a few short years before it closed down for good.

Had to climb up and change that marquee on Hamilton Rd. more times than I can count, though. Had the ladder blow over on me a few times as well.
