AMITYVILLE, N.Y. — The house made famous in the 1979 film "The Amityville Horror" is up for sale in New York — ghosts not included.


The five-bedroom Dutch Colonial went on the market Monday for $1.15 million.


The Oscar-nominated film is based on the story of the Lutz family's brief stay in the house in 1975 after six members of the DeFeo family were shot and killed as they slept in the home. Eldest son Ronald DeFeo Jr. was convicted of the murders.


The crime spawned a book and a series of movies that chronicled various supernatural horrors, including visions of walls oozing slime, moving furniture and a visit from a demonic pig named Jodie. The original film stars James Brolin and Margot Kidder.


Neighbors say gawkers still occasionally come by, mostly on Halloween.

Quick story. My grand father was looking to purchase this house many many years ago. My family was inside the house and just got a real eerie feeling. They decided not to buy it since they knew the history. But they were inside of it and actually use the rest room..lol

If I had the money...I still wouldn't buy that house!

It's not like it's situated in Beverly Hills!!!

Plus the added enticement of being killed by demons doesn't exactly add to the value of the home IMO.

That was one of the first horror movies I saw as a kid, and had nightmares about that house. I would never buy that place if you paid me.

The movie is based on a true story so I would have to say HELL no on that house. I've been in haunted houses and I know this exists so please somebody else enjoy this one. LOL!!

In college the parapsychology club took me along on several ghost hunts as the resident skeptic......it is funny how there was never any "events" when I was with them....only when they were out and about without me....there is no such things as ghosts...:madd

this has house been lived in many times since the Lutz's moved out in the 70's, and has been inhabited continually since then, and none of the owners have ever reported anything ever.......bottom line, either they made the story up, or for whatever reason the demons and ghosts only haunted the Lutz's and just stopped when they left......guess we will never know......the one thing that is true though is that the Defeo's were murdered in that house............so knowing that a family was murdered in that house, whether it be 35 years ago or not, is enough to make me not buy it.

I wouldn't want to make my home in a place where people had died violently. I don't believe in ghosts but, my own imagination would make it impossible to live there.
