The Amityville Horror/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Actor Allusion: In Amityville II, a poster for Rocky can be seen hanged on a wall. Burt Young, who plays Sonny's father, was a costar in the Rocky movies.
  • Executive Meddling: The decision to make Jodie a Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl instead of a demonic pig, in the wake of The Ring‍'‍s success.
  • Hey, It's That Guy!: The house is haunting Lois Lane in the first movie.
  • The house that the film's plot supposedly occurred in still stands in Amityville, Long Island. While it remains a popular walk-by spot, especially on Halloween, the iconic wedge windows have been replaced and the paint is different, to make it look less like the popular image of the house.
