After the American author
Jay Anson's novel, The Amityville Horror: A True Story (1977), and New York City director
Stuart Rosenberg's equally controversial movie,
The Amityville Horror (1979), a seemingly interminable series of sequels and remakes emerged. However, what sparked the interest of a worldwide audience about the Lutzes' plight after they fled from the now-infamous house on 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville? Now, after decades of thick mystery that still shrouds the real story of the Lutz family, the son of George and Kathleen Lutz,
Daniel Lutz--who was ten when they moved into the notorious house--decides to break his silence about his experience living in the allegedly haunted mansion. In the end, was it all a genuine case of haunting, or was it an ingenious hoax after all?
