The Amityville Horror is based on the infamous case of the Lutz family, who, based on the information of that time, moved into a house where a gruesome mass murder had occurred. In the real life of George and Kathy Lutz, the experience of paranormal activity included frightful things such as odd smells and voices in that infamous Long Island home. While some aspects of the movie remain disputed, the horror atmosphere and claims of possession made it a staple in the horror cinema.
