Thanks to HeyUGuys reader Becky for sending this one in. The Daily Mail are reporting that the house used in the horror movie inspired by true life killings has gone on sale for £800 000 ($1.15 million). The only problem is, would you actually want to live there?
In 1974, the eldest son killed the other 6 members of the DeFeo family in this very house. The following year, a man named Lutz bought the house for $80 000 thinking it was a bargain and that it would become their dream home. In fact, quite the opposite occurred when after just 28 days, they fled the house house after various intense supernatural occurrences. This then inspired the book and the movie, The Amityville Horror which was then remade in 2005.
It took me a while to find but here’s the estate agent selling the property if you want to put down an offer!
Here’s the official blurb – sounds nice doesn’t it!:
This is a single family home. It is located at 108 Ocean Ave Amityville, New York. The nearest schools are Park Avenue Elementary School, Berner Middle School and Amityville Memorial High School.
