The only thing scarier than an evil spirit possessing a son to kill six members of his family execution style is a mob of opportunistic parapsychologists, reporters and lawyers descending upon the scene of the crime one year later. This second wind of media frenzy and ensuing legal battles started shortly after the Lutzes moved into the home where the '74 Long Island murders took place. The young couple only lasted 28 days. Allegedly, demonic squatters forced them to flee their haunted digs, co-write a bestseller and cash in on the movie rights to the 1979 blockbuster The Amityville Horror.

Even though that was more than 25 years ago, the ongoing debate about whether or not the whole thing was an elaborate hoax rages on in Amityville Confidential, a bonus disc featured in the Amityville Horror gift set. Out just in time for the April 15 theatrical release of The Amityville Horror (2005), the collector's edition includes the original, Amityville II: The Possession, Amityville 3-D (though not in 3D), as well as one voucher to see the latest remake at a theatre near you. » Sarah Rowland
