Amityville, Long Island, New York, 1974
Family thrills, Sinister home,
Evil lurks below
Restless demon, Restless night,
As it is written, Dishonor thy father
Chaos increased, Red dragon speaks
The possession is driven to murder
Angry father, Worried mother,
Son and daughter
The repressed, The confused
The obsessed, The abused
The incest, The possessed
Amityville, Long Island
New York, Family deceased
Mortal Sins, Portal to hell,
Consumed by the beast
Demon seed, Thoughts unclean,
Confess you dirty priest
I do not remember when I found out Amityville was in Long Island New York. But the first thing I thought of was the house created on top of a burial ground. That movie I’ve had seen twice
My parents, like many heard about the Lutz family leaving their house and went to the property to possibly witness or see any strange occurrences. This was December 1975. They saw nothing. The family left the home completely furnished, as though they went out to the movies or something. The story made the headlines that the home was haunted. George Lutz spoke to a writer named Jay Anson. Anson recorded about 45 hours worth of material from George & Kathy Lutz. This was used for the basis of the book and eventually a movie.
I can’t watch horror films. Not at all. I had a friend who watched them 24/7 – 365.
Nope. Nada. No freakin’ way.
But I’ll read you.
Thank you Mary. I appreciate that.
Powerfully penned, Keith. Excellent write my friend, this is a fucking classic piece of film. James Brolin was a wood chopping son of a bitch in this flick. lol. Appreciate you.

Oh so true my friend. Classic film! Thanks for the feedback.
Something about haunted houses always gives me pause. Mainly because it’s supposed to be
be the one place you should feel protected from the outside world. Something about the Amityville movies always made me think of my grandmother.
I’m not sure how it all started but my grandmother has this thing about blessing her families vehicles and houses. Not a priest but just her and her Spanish prayers. She has long passes away but my mom kept the tradition going and always gives me a blessed rosary to hang on my cars rear view mirror. When I was younger I would roll my eyes but now that I’m older not so much. I don’t mean to ramble on but this took me back! Total classic!
Cool story Adelphina. Thanks for sharing about your grandmother.
I think the Amityville movies create a sense of uneasiness because theirs something sinister about the look of the house. If you go pass the house today, there aren’t any characteristics that will take you back to those haunting images during the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.
