Lights Out Halloween Special: The Amityville Horror In this special episode of Lights Out, hosts James Kline and J.H. Alison leave the comfort of the 80s to dive into the chilling tale of one of the most infamous haunted houses in American history—The Amityville Horror. Kicking off their 2024 Halloween month, the hosts explore the terrifying legend from every angle, with an unsanctioned, unfiltered conversation about the dark history, the media frenzy, and the supernatural terror that has surrounded this story for decades. 🏚️👻 The boys start by breaking down the true story behind the horror—discussing the brutal DeFeo family murders that took place on November 13, 1974, when Ronald DeFeo Jr. slaughtered his parents and siblings in their home on Ocean Avenue. They explore the eerie details of the case and how the house’s tragic past set the stage for what would become one of the most famous hauntings in modern history. 🩸🔪 Next, they dive into Jay Anson's 1977 book The Amityville Horror, the chilling "non-fiction" account of the Lutz family's terrifying ordeal after they moved into the house. Was it a legitimate paranormal experience, or an elaborate hoax designed to profit off a real-life tragedy? James and J.H. discuss the skepticism and belief surrounding the story, as well as the key moments that gripped readers. Then, the conversation shifts to the 1979 movie adaptation, starring James Brolin and Margot Kidder. The hosts review the film’s ability to capture the fear and paranoia from the book, as well as its impact on the horror genre. They delve into the iconic moments—the flies, the red room, the disembodied voice yelling "Get out!"—and how The Amityville Horror became a cultural phenomenon that influenced countless haunted house films to come. 🎥👁️ Expect deep discussions about the lasting influence of the Amityville Horror franchise, its sequels, remakes, and the numerous paranormal investigators who've tried to unravel the mystery of this cursed house. James and J.H. don’t shy away from the controversy, the hoaxes, and the debates that still surround this infamous haunting.
