Which classic horror film is based on a true story?
Correct answer: The Amityville Horror
SquareDot
Not sure about this 2005 film, but the book was sooo scary to read in the 70s !

I think Amityville Horror would have been much more compelling and frightening if they had told the true story of Ronald DeFeo murdering his entire family, rather than trying to make that ugly house into a haunted house.

SquareDot, I regret seeing the original movie with Karen Black in the ‘70’s (1978?) … it is based on the true story

The Remake came out on 2005. The ORIGINAL Movie was released in 1979 - two years after the book - starred Margot Kidder, James Brolin & Rod Steiger. The book was a terrifying read for a 12 year old.

Quizzland is Poltergeist the 1980s movie not a classic then ? Because that's partially based on truth .
DaniM
The 2005 movie must be a remake because I know there was a previous version. I'm not sure when, maybe late 70s or early 80s.

SquareDot, I agree. The book scared the snot out of me.

Artie, Forget Amityville Horror. Instead, read a book called, The House Next Door. It's a great haunted house story, endorsed by S. King.

WeeverBeezle, Who is "the wife"?
WeeverBeezle
The Amityville Horror isn't a true story. The wife and a lawyer made it up. She admitted it a few years ago.
