Then, in 1977, came the best-selling book chronicling the ghostly terrors experienced by the Lutzes, the next family to occupy the DeFeo’s Long Island Dutch Colonial Revival with those distinctive eye-shaped windows. Then came the 1979 movie based on the book—by which time the haunting claims were being called into question. But who cares if The Amityville Horror is a hoax if it continues to fascinate audiences?
