The REAL Amityville Horror House

I visited my American best friend over the past weekend who lives on Long Island. Her new house is five minutes away from the real Amityville horror house so we had to do a drive-by.

The three photos are just different views of the house.

*edit I’ve also included before and after shot from when they did some renovations on the house

I grew up in a nearby town, and I remember when that book came out .

I have never actually read it

@DrWatson I watched the movie before the book, but I'm glad I did read it though. Even scarier than the movie.

@DrWatson Amityville always wants to be known as a quiet village town but unfortunately, the Defeo murders and the Amytiville Horror movie and book put the village on the national map. The 1979 movie with James Brolin and Margot Kidder will always be a horror classic. I did see the Ryan Reynolds remake in the theater and it was a complete dud.
