SCREAM OF THE DAY: THE AMITYVILLE HORROR



The Amityville Horror (1979) trivia:

The real house from the book and movie garnered too much unwanted attention.  As a result, the later owners replaced the "evil eyes" windows with normal rectangle shaped ones.

At the time, the film was the highest grossing independent film of all time and American International Pictures' biggest hit.

The stars of the film, James Brolin and Margot Kidder visited the real Amityville house as part of a publicity junket.

Both stars said they didn't believe the Amityville story.

Margot Kidder later confessed she hated the film.

Honey was rubbed on Rod Steiger's head to draw the flies to him.
