It was the Lutz family who bought the house a mere 13 months after the murders had been committed and upon whom The Amityville Horror is based.
The Amityville Horror, for example, took its plot directly from a series of tragic events that unfolded at a real Long Island, New York home in 1975 to the Lutz family.
The Wrap is now reporting that the very house on which the films and books are based has now been sold.
The concept of basing horror films on so-called true events has grown to become something of a trend over the years.
