“The Shocking Truth: The Amityville Horror” Airs on Reelz TONIGHT

Published

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.
