It was never true. They were just mislead that it was true. being mislead, and it actually being true, are different. And no. Ronald DeFeo Jr., had a nickname, that nickname, was Butch. They were not father and son. Are you sure you have seen the movie. Because anytime that you claim something about the movie, you have been wrong.

Quote:

No, other websites and documents have said, "Ronald Defeo Jr."...which would be Butch'es son I *think*.

1. Butch is Ronald.

Quote:

I know tis not about the actual murders, but the family. But the whole reason it is supposedly a haunted house is BECAUSE of those murders, and without the TRUE murders, the house wouldn't be haunted.

2. The demons were in the house BEFORE the murders, and are what supposodly drove Butch to murder. They were not released as a result of the murder.

EDIT: From the website YOU gave me

Quote:

At 6:30 p.m., Ronald DeFeo Jr., known by the locals as “Butch,” opened the door to the bar and yelled, “You got to help me! I think my mother and father are shot.”

Yes I'm sure I've seen the movie. I own them too, I could take a picture if you like with me and the movies, would that be convienant, love?

Although, it would be fair to say I haven't watched them in a while. Although again, I stand by what I said in that, it was based on a true story [or something someone was "mislead" to believe to be true.]

There is quite a difference. Poor LukeUM was led to believe that Tom Petty is dead. Is that the truth? No.

Yes but at the time, mostly everybody believed it was true.

...by the way, isn't there two known Tom Pettys? The man in the band and then there was that criminal in Florida?

Just because you believe it doesn't make it true. [END OF]

I agree, but, if most people believed it, and no one knew the real truth, then you're kind of lead to believe...

Yeah, but the truth has been out for 20 some odd years. Get with the times people!

Yea but when did the movie come out? [the original]

...

EDIT:

http://imdb.com/title/tt0078767/
1979.
The truth wasn't out when the movie was made, so people were lead to believe it was true, and the movie maker probably believed the same and said "based on".

Ah, in no particular order . . .
Fight Club
Once Were Warriors
Bad Boy Bubby
Stop Making Sense (best live gig film ever)
Forbidden Planet
Blade Runner (director's cut)
Leon
Apocalypse Now
The Jungle Book

re Amityville - someone should make a movie and stick to the (allegedly) true story, as told in the book. "Jody" was an evil red-eyed PIG, and considerably creepier than the ghost-brat in the most recent movie . . . just my 5c's worth . . .

I always liked the original Crow movie with Brandon Lee. That was one of the darkest yet most beautiful movies I've ever seen!
