  • 24 okt 2022 · The Amityville Horror managed to earn $86 million in 1979 on a budget of $4.7 million, making it one of the highest-grossing independent films up to that point ...

  • “Get out!” When those two words are spoken in a horror film, they should always be heeded, and yet no one ever seems to learn that lesson until it’s too late. That’s certainly true of the characters in Jordon Peele’s sleeper hit of the same name in 2017, and it was equally true of the Lutz family in director Stuart Rosenberg’s The Amityville Horror. Audiences didn’t heed the warning either, despite the fact that there were plenty of fair questions to be raised about the Lutz’s account, and so the film became a wildly successful independent production. The buzz from Jay Anson’s bestselling book certainly didn’t hurt, but it also helped that the cinematic adaptation was riding on the coattails of Seventies A-list horror hits like The Exorcist and The Omen. Yet despite the presence of A-list talent like Rosenberg, James Brolin, and Margot Kidder, The Amityville Horror is pure B-movie schlock from beginning to end. The most important credit in that regard is executive producer Samuel Z. Arkoff, who certainly knew how to make a lot of money on this kind of material without having to spend very much to do so. The Amityville Horror managed to earn $86 million in 1979 on a budget of $4.7 million, making it one of the highest-grossing independent films up to that point in time. (The previous year’s Halloween had grossed a bit less, though it was arguably more profitable thanks to an even lower budget.)

  • When I was a kid, 1979's 'The Amityville Horror' was my cinematic forbidden fruit. I was eight years-old at the time. My mother forbade me from seeing it. The kids in the schoolyard couldn't stop talking about it. And the relentless ad campaign promised nothing less than sheer, unadulterated terror. So over the next couple of decades or so, the film built up an almost unimaginable mystique in my mind. Not helping were friends' memories of watching the film as kids, and being absolutely scared out of their pajamas by it. Then, finally, after twenty-odd years of anxiety and anticipation, I finally sat down to experience 'The Amityville Horror.' "Whoa!" I thought, "this is gonna be a good one!"
