Amityvilleville

0:00On a cold November night in 1974, 23-year-old Ron DeFeo Jr. picked up a 35-calibre rifle and crept from room to room in his lakeside family home in Amityville, New York, by dawn his mother, father, and four younger siblings all lay dead in their beds. This gruesome crime and the alleged haunting that followed have inspired the creation of nearly a hundred, yes, a hundred, films in the Amityville franchise. And if you ever thought to yourself, wow, I'd really love to listen to Alex Goldman and his plucky horror podcasting sidekick Caroline Thompson absolutely lose their minds watching every Amityville movie ever made, then boy do we have a podcast for you. I'm Caroline Thompson, I'm a former vice journalist, a horror fan, and a past resident of multiple haunted homes. I'm Alex Goldman, who you might know from HyperFixed, Reply All, or my pension for yelling at people on Twitter. And this is Amityvilleville, a new show from Radiotopia and PRX where Alex and I make our way through the entire back catalog of the terrifying, campy, and very fly-filled Amityville horror movie franchise, one week at a time.
