Nightmare Fuel / The Amityville Horror

Go To

  • Hoax or not, some of the things described in this novel are pretty creepy. The Real Life murders that actually happened in the house don't help matters.
  • For a parent, the idea that someone or something you can't stop is going after your children is horrifying...even if it's a demonic pig.
    • The house is changing you into a person that would harm your own family, and you don't even notice it's happening. On the other side of the coin, you're forced to watch as your previously loving spouse/parent becomes more and more dangerous, and when you try to warn him, he refuses to believe you.
  • George repeatedly heard a phantom marching band while attempting to sleep at night. He could never find the source of the noise.
