They discover that the house was the scene of a multiple murder, when the previous owner, Ronald DeFeo, Jr., had shot and killed six members of his family on November 13, 1974. During their stay in the house, the Lutzes start to experience various phenomena that tell them that whatever malevolent force drove DeFeo to such violence might still be there...

== General ==

* [[Artifacts of Doom]]: Following the third movie, the house is no longer actually featured as the main setting. Rather, its evil is passed on through certain objects that wind up in new homes, turning them in ersatz Amityvilles. These objects include a lamp, a clock, and a mirror.

* [[Supernatural-Proof Father]]

 

* [[Imaginary Friend]]: Jodie the pig.

 

* [[Cat Scare]]: George Lutz, lost in thought, is playing with one his cigarettes when suddenly a cat pops up in his window and scares the hell out of him.

* [[Evil Is Deathly Cold]]: Inverted. George feels cold everywhere, except in the evil basement of doom.

* [[California Doubling|New Jersey Doubling]]: The filmmakers found a house in Toms River, NJ which could pass for the original house in Amityville with a few cosmetic alterations. They chose to film there instead of the actual house (which was available) to avoid uncomfortable questions which might have arisen had nothing paranormal happened during the filming.

 

* [[A Birthday, Not a Break]]: The night Sonny fully succumbs to the demon and kills his family happens on his birthday.

* [[Abusive Dad]]: The father often blamed the paranormal activity on his youngest children and beat them, even in front of a priest.

* [[Would Hurt A Child]]: Once under demonic possession, Sonny ends up shooting and killing all his siblings along with his parents. Two of his siblings aren't even ten years old.

* [[In Name Only]]: It only takes place in Amityville, and is set in a completely different haunted house which has nothing to do with the titular home at all.

 

* {{spoiler|[[Everybody Lives]]}}: {{spoiler|The cursed clock brought from the original house causes a [[Reset Button Ending]] to avoid getting destroyed in an explosion, only to be destroyed by the [[Final Girl]], who retained her memories of everything the clock caused before it can do it again.}}
