“The Shocking Truth: The Amityville Horror” Airs on Reelz TONIGHT
Looking for something spooky to watch tonight?
Long Island was rocked on November 13, 1974 by the murders of six members of the DeFeo family, and the entire world was subsequently horrified by the Lutz family’s claims that the house on 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, NY was haunted. The family purchased the home just about a year after the murders, and their story of course became legend thanks to Jay Anson’s book The Amityville Horror, published in 1977.
But what’s the true story? Many have set out to answer that question over the years, and the latest to do so is independent cable and satellite network Reelz. Airing on Reelz Channel tonight at 9:30pm EST is “The Shocking Truth: The Amityville Horror,“ which digs deep into notorious real-life murders as well as the alleged hauntings.
It’s a home right out of a Norman Rockwell painting. But behind the walls of the picturesque three-story house on 112 Ocean Avenue lays a deep dark secret. It was the site of brutal mass murder the residents of Amityville thought would never happen in their small town. Six people dead, including four children. Why would someone kill a seemingly innocent family as they slept in their beds?
This is the Shocking Truth behind The Amityville Horror.
Check out the teaser below.

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.
A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.
Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.
Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”
“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.
“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
