So, You LIke Horror? Podcast #79- The Amityville Horror 1979 vs. 2005

  • Summary

  • What's up, folks? This week on the podcast, I'm flying solo. So, for this episode, I will explore The Amityville Horror in our Remake vs. Original series, comparing the eerie 1979 classic to its intense 2005 remake. We begin with the real-life horror behind 112 Ocean Avenue before analyzing the original film’s slow-burn psychological terror and the remake’s modern, action-driven scares. From George Lutz’s descent into madness to the film’s use of special effects, I debate which version is scarier and holds up best today and why none of that matters anyway. So tune in for the final verdict, share your thoughts, and stay connected for what's next.


    The Amityville Horror films, released in 1979 and 2005, depict one of horror’s most infamous haunted house stories. The 1979 film takes a slow-burning, psychological approach, becoming a classic in the haunted house subgenre, while the 2005 remake modernizes the story with a faster pace, intense visuals, and a darker portrayal of George Lutz’s descent into madness. Despite their stylistic differences, both films continue to intrigue audiences and spark debate over the real events behind the legend.
