Behind the scenes of THE AMITYVILLE HORROR redux footage!

Published at:  Sep 23, 2004 2:02:33 PM CDT

Hey folks, Harry here with a neat little link for y'all to check out. Going back to the AMITYVILLE HORROR book is a nice way to go for the film, and just as producer Brad Fuller did on TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, he's staying in the correct period... sheesh, if only he were making the FANTASTIC FOUR movie. This is a nice long behind the scenes where you get a good look at the characters, costumes and sets... that boat-house is not a nice place. Not nice. Check it out...




Over at Yahoo! Movies they have a brilliant new 7-minute clip of a behind the scenes documentary that they're evidently doing on the set of the Amityville Horror. I've also done some captures from the video and put them on my site, including some great shots of the house and first look at the on-screen DeFeo family in one of the photos on the wall.
 

The Video is at This Location!
 

My site (with the caps, and a few other Amityville shots) is at (it's Melissa's official site).
 

Hope you can post this, no worries if you can't though.
 

Henry

    Here's hoping the Lutzes aren't part of this scam...

    by the gline

    The original "Amityville Horror" was a cynical con job they concocted to get out of a mortgage they couldn't afford, by exploiting both people's superstitions and the fact that a multiple murder had taken place in the same house before they moved in. Read "High Hopes" for a good description of the crime itself, and CSICOP (among others) have done excellent detective work debunking the whole "Amityvile Horror" fraud.

    Amityville Horror scared the crap out of me!

    by big jim

    Except for the giant pig monster, that was just funny. Is that in this one too? They had that creepy music playing on the clip.

    The book

    by super person

    The first time I read the book The Amityville Horror, I was maybe 10 or 11 years old, sitting in the basement of an old country farmhouse while the occupants and my parents were out looking at properties nearby, and I was alone in the middle of the night... I was just pants-wettingly scared...

    Yeah, me too...

    by docpazuzu

    ...I think I was 11 when I read The Amityville Horror. It completely deep-fried my brain in terror. I was petrified for weeks afterwards -- especially since I believed it was true. Good times...

    Margot Kidder should have a cameo.

    by blarneyman

    When a film is remade, as respect for the fans of the original they should acknowledge the performers of the first feature. I really hope they have Margot Kidder, the original Mrs. Lutz to cameo. She is a great actress sorely missed from the big screen.

    Wasn't Amityville Horror just a Burnt Offerings ripoff?
