the amityville horror
 

just bought it to add to my collection what does everyone thnk of it??

I only saw the one with the clock and the dog, I loved it

is amityville horror the first because theres like 4 right?

I wish the 2nd one was on DVD. Not only is it a prequel, but damn, Diane Franklin is hot. That's some Christmas joy I'm talkin' about. Hubba, hubba, hubba!

ok
 

its ok i seen it too mant times

its an ok movie i read both the books and saw the movies i still think it was a hoax.

anyone see one of the later ones with the Clock that was all about Time? where the girls reflection in the mirror comes out and makes out with her.........scarred me for life:eek:

hoax?? of course its a hoax...the second one was closer to the truth of what happened..except for the possesion thing...drugs, alchohol and shot his family...hmmm

It's fake. Good story though.

The guy who ghost-wrote the book with the original owners sued them a few years back for not paying him any royalties on all the sequels. He said the whole thing was a hoax from the beginning and he should own a slice of the pie just like any creater of fiction. The judge agreed, so the Amityville poltergeist might be the only ghost ruled a hoax in a court of law. Boy, was his sheet red (I crack myself up.)

It was a hoax? You just crushed my dreams

I dont know what dreams could involve having AVH be real, but ya know.....;)

the second movie wich dealt with the murders was based on some truth. SOME truth. the son did kill his family members. From what I understand it was ALL about the benjamins folks. He wanted the fat cash from the insurance money. He states his sister was behind it all. But then, why kill her???!!! Funny footnote: Look for a new 'remake' version of the original.

4??? Try 10.

yeah i saw that one on tv a while back. i thoughjt it was kool. i forget the actaula title does any one remeber it?

Amityville 1992: It's About Time....corny-ass title.

the murder is real. that did take place but the ghost/demon stuff wasn't real (duh) i used to LOVE the first two films but haven't watched them in a while. haven't been into it lately. :) still good though!

thanx i couldn't think of it off the top of my head and i agree it is a corny ass title. i never knew there were like 10 sequels to it

Amityville
 

I live 2 miles from the house and I believe it. Whenever we would drive by the same song would come on the radio, "I don't Like Mondays" about the girl who goes to school and shoots everyone down. Yea, it's all true...

It's ok. It's one of those classic, must see horror films.

Also, if you like that, and are into a little bit of comedy mixed in with your horror, check out House.

Love House. And I love House II (Myers I'm talking to you cuz I know you hate it so much).

thanks
 

thanks for the replies people

Living Near the House
 

Does noone care that I live so close to this house? Someone must have questions.

im looking forward to seeing amityville 3d and amityville 2 again, theyre showing soon.

Does anyone know which Amityville movie has Aunt Becky from full house? I want to rent that one.

Which one had the possessed lamp?:confused: Ooh, scary :rolleyes:

Amityville horror
 

well, this movie is one of my favourite from horror. and I found very good web page for fans of this movie: http://www.amityvillehorrortruth.com/

I actually almost bought this movie at the grocery store yesterday...but it was beat out by Armitage III (anime) and Return of the Living Dead (Dan O'bannon rules)...

He wrote Alien :)

I like what he said about writing alien. He also wrote "darkstar", which sucked monkey balls.
"When you write a comedy, and nobody laughs, it hurts. So i figured i would write a horror movie and scare the shit out of them."

I would have taken Return Of The Living Dead over Amity anyday ... good choice

Underrated gem, THE AMITYVILLE HORROR.

The flies, the booming during the night, those creepy little eyes in the darkness, "GET OUT!!!", the pit of blood... and watching James Brolin slowly go nutzoid - hell, even the house itself looks damn scary.

Fuck yeah, Amityville is possibly the only film that I couldn't sit and watch on my own it freaks me out that much - although I'll admit it's a lot to do with my own conditioning and neurosis as a child rather than the film itself but it really is a gem of a movie.

You didn't mention that soundtrack though *shivvers*
