THE AMITYVILLE HORROR (1979) | House Tour | MGM

[@donna25871]

The creepy thing wasn’t buying the house but keeping the furniture and using it - especially the beds.

[@wolf44875]

that's even better

[@rickm6076]

80k for that house means those demons gonna have to get used to me. They can leave if they want.

... we never felt "hunted" by Demons. only in whaT you believe can? destroy you

[@horrorfanandy4647]

When money is god, the devil doesn't stand a chance! 🤣

[@R.POliver]

80k in the mid 70’s was the equivalent of over 400 thousand dollars in 2024. So considering the ghastly murders that happened there that no doubt greatly reduced the value, in reality, it wasn’t exactly a steal. George ran a construction company, which meant he made a very VERY good living and would be considered wealthy.

The lady showing the couple around the house plays her part well. At 4.20 when she is walking down the stairs she is doing her best to give a nice friendly smile while trying to hide the fact what the couple could be in for if they buy the house.

You can tell the realtor doesn't want to be in that house as she's trying to rush through the tour.

What is scarier is the realtor must have been in that house by herself because she has to make sure its show ready and lock it up.

0:36 that woman with the glasses was in “Titanic”.

the scariest part of this scene was the inflation difference of the house cost

[@MissaPality]

No kidding! This house today is a couple mil easy.

[@rickm6076]

What’s crazier is that a couple years later 70k was the median house price and 24k was the median income. Even with interest rates at 20 percent it was a better deal than today.

[@the_gilded_age_phoenix8717]

@@rickm6076 "Owning" a house in the US is about the same as a prime working life indenture. Most Americans never really own a home, they are essentially leasing it from the bank...until they have medical issues or other debts get 'em. Then, the bank kicks them out of "their" house. Some are lucky enough to lease a home from their local government...but, still, it's about the same thing.

I'd like to think the staircase newel cap being loose is a sign of bad luck and also a reference to A Wonderful life when George Bailey had the same problem.

[@stephaniebaker1542]

speaking as someone who just closed escrow on a house, it is not as simple as.."I'll take care of the details, just get ready to move!" Also, the real house does not have a charming "gardening hut that can be used as a guest house", and is located on a regular suburban street with two neighboring homes that are so close you can talk through windows at.

[@haroldelrod8515]

A real estate agent handles a ton of the details. She didn't say "Oh, you don't have to do anything else at all except move your stuff." I took it to mean that she'd get everything ready, and she'd be in touch.

[@fatimaortiz6806]

This is my opinion, but if the house is haunted, why don't you just burn it down?

I always had an open mind about ghosts and the supernatural and haunted homes until my mother-in-law died. After she passed away in hospital we arrived back home and for reasons that i can't explain even today i wouldn't close our bedroom door it had to be wide open at night when we slept. My partner had time off work to organise the funeral and a few days later he went back to work so i was alone in the house for the first time since she had died. About 6.30 in the morning our cat jumped onto the bed and onto the windowsill which woke me and as i was talking to the cat i slowly turned over and my mother-in-law was standing in the door way and she was perfectly still and because it was early in the morning she looked grey along with everything else in the bedroom. My mother-in-law died in 2005 and i still cannot close the bedroom door fully and although i don't have it wide open like before when she appeared i have the door open with a gap of about 4 inches and i still can't explain why.

Classic movie, although the 'haunted house' story was a fabrication and a hoax perpetrated by George Lutz, the owner of the property, who has since died. It has also been said that the husband and wife actors (James Brolin and Margot Kidder) clashed during filming due to differences about how the script and plot should be handled.

[@nanasoul-inspires]

In any case, a house where murders have been committed should never be rented or sold, residual negative energies remain impregnated in the walls

I've written a screen play for a new Amityville. I finally have a Producer and a Director of substance reading it and they both a really liking it. Hello MGM!??

[@horrorfanandy4647]

You aren't going to reach them here. A little heads up, you don't actually need copyright permission to make an Amityville film, the house, the quarter-moon windows, the DeFeo's, Amityville itself, all existed and therefore aren't protected by copyright. MGM owns some of the films, but it doesn't own real life, that's why there are so many Amityville films. Of course, if your ultimate ambition is a studio funded project with wider distribution then I can understand that. But again you'll have to get in touch with them directly, not through KZbin.

[@richardkoon5544]

@@horrorfanandy4647 Fantastic response. Thanks. The first Director said my screenplay is too vile. I'm on the a second. He likes it! I've one investor who is interested.

[@horrorfanandy4647]

@@richardkoon5544 I’m glad to hear it, please don’t let anything I’ve said deter you, I admire the ambition as a fellow writer/filmmaker, you just need to keep working at it and something will come of it. About what I said about the copyright, it’s pretty bulletproof, but obviously check these things beforehand if you decide to pursue a purely independent route, but like I say, most of it cannot be protected by copyright because of the real life nature of the case. Best of luck!
