The movie we couldn't get rid of, no matter how hard we try. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.218.28.246 (talk • contribs) 13 July 2006

The 5th reference link does not lead to a music website anymore. Magical Girl Fan (talk) 15:51, 20 January 2010 (UTC)Magical Girl FanMagical Girl Fan (talk) 15:51, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Much of this article appears to be plagiarized from imdb.com (or vice versa). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.69.204.131 (talk) 14:46, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Sequels - direct to video ?
The article asserts that the sequels went direct to video. It would appear that number 4 The Amityville Curse was released in theatres shortly before being released on video. Thus the statement is possibly wrong.--Golden Wattle  talk 23:54, 10 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for raising this. The statement about Amityville 4 being made for television comes from Box Office Mojo at .  Since BOM is reckoned to be the best source for release dates, box office gross etc, it may be best to stick with this.  As ever when a sourcing problem occurs, there is always room for more research, so any comments would be welcome. -- ♦Ian Ma c  M♦  (talk to me) 18:32, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

converted house
The article says the house was converted to look like the real house. Thats not true. I've lived in Toms River since I was born. My mom watched them film the movie also. The house was never converted. It always looked like it did in the movie. It doesn't look like it now (its been renovated and moved over 1 lot). I have pictures of the house now if you need proof that I'm from Toms River.VampireKen (talk) 21:12, 17 November 2008 (UTC) Hi there, Actually there are pictures that exist that show the house in Tom's River having a fake facade put on to make it appear more like the real house. Technically it wasn't "converted" but it DID have a temporary facade as depicted in the behind the scenes stills. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.85.205.180 (talk) 05:17, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

The film resulted in several law suits.[2]
Can someone expand on this? Who was sued? Who was suing? What were they suing over? What were the outcomes? All this info really needs to be in there. 69.212.230.150 (talk) 19:24, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Missing Information and Expansion
This article has several sections that are missing citations and important information. The Production section only cites one source and should have more sources included into it. The reception section is way too short and needs to be expanded with more reviews from notable critics added to it. This article is also missing important information on the film's theatrical and home media release, sequels/remakes, and legacy. These are important pieces of information that needs to be added to the article. All of these changes and additions need to occur in order for this article to meet Wikipiedia's guidelines and standards of a well developed article.--Paleface Jack (talk) 22:13, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
