AMITYVILLE: An Origin Story // Series
In 1979, The Amityville Horror redefined the "haunted house" for a new generation, spawning an ever expanding universe of movies, books, wild theories, and horror fans. This 4-part limited series for MGM+ takes the first-ever elevated look at every aspect of the story: the mythology and the factual record, the true-crime mass murder behind the hauntings, and the human toll of both events as unique products of their times. By placing this infamous tale within the dark cultural undercurrents of the 1970s, the show reveals why the tragedy of these two families in an affluent Long Island suburb captured the nation's attention, and how it continues to resonate today.
