Uncovering the Truth Behind the Amityville Curse of 2020

The Amityville curse is a topic that has long fascinated and terrified people around the world. The legend originated from a series of horrifying events that took place in Amityville, New York in 1974. A family named the Lutz moved into a house on 112 Ocean Avenue, unaware of its dark history. Just a year earlier, Ronald DeFeo Jr. had murdered six members of his family in that very house. The Lutz family claimed that after moving in, they experienced a series of terrifying and supernatural occurrences that led them to flee the house just 28 days later.

I like almost all my old cars and don't know of too many that I wouldn't like to have back now

With all the late model engines that Chevy has with OD trans could put in an older truck and make a good daily driver or find a nice late 80 s with factory od. There were a few 1957 Ford Fairlane, 1960 and 1969 VW Minibus, 1949 Mercury Coupe flathead V8 , 1932 Ford Vicky blown 392 Hemi , 1956 Pontiac Safari Wagon with factory air conditioning, 1964 Olds 98 Convertible.

The Lutz family claimed that after moving in, they experienced a series of terrifying and supernatural occurrences that led them to flee the house just 28 days later. These occurrences included strange voices, eerie sounds, and even physical manifestations of evil entities. The Lutz family's experiences became the subject of a bestselling book called "The Amityville Horror" by Jay Anson, which was later turned into several movies.

Favorite non-mopar that you wich you had kept

I think I have only owned a couple non-Mopar vehicles, the only one I miss is my old 1998 Chevy S-10 Sportside, had a 2.2 and a 5 speed, could go a whole month on a tank of gas and it was quick for a little truck. Also, the only truck I have ever owned and was great in the snow. but being 6'4" and a standard cab, there was not a lot of room for much inside. so I sold it. way too cheap too :banghead:

Thanks Keith. Wish I could go back to 16yrs old again. lol.

I was a absolute Mopar nut back then. Worked on them, all my buddy's had them, and still, all the car deals that came my way from 75'-78' were brand "C's" that I couldn't pass on. At that point in time it was more about the deal/price then brand loyalty for most of us. Nothing I can do about it now, lol. Forgive me guys. .

I used to be into Pontiacs pretty hardcore when I was about 19 or 20. I bought an identical twin to this car, same color, except it had a white vinyl top and white interior. '72 Firebird Formula 350 with factory 4-speed and no A/C. I've had dreams about this car. BTW, once I saw Pontiac starting to drop chevy engines into their cars, it was over. done.

I haven't had many Brand X cars that I wished I kept. Those I liked are still with me. Most of rest of 'em I was glad to get rid of.

I did have a '75 Fiat 124 Spyder that was blast to drive. When it came to get rid of it I didn't regret it. But it was the car that sparked a passion for canyon carving.

There were a few cars Pop and I restored for customers I really liked and wouldn't mind owning. A '70 LeMans Sport vert that was a blast to drive. '65 Mustang notchback with a 289 and 4 speed that was a sharp looking little runner.

'87 Crown Vic, former hwy patrol car. It had been well taken care of. The driving position was so comfortable, steering was quick, and the boxy shape gave it great outward visibility and you could see all 4 corners of the car. It had REAL bumpers and a huge trunk.

I used to reMember

If I could pick a second best non-Mopar, it would be my 1984 Turbo T-Bird. Turboed 2.3 liter with 5 speed manual. Was an Official Car of the US Grand Prix too. It was totaled after lending it to my sister for just one weekend, but I rebuilt it anyway. Drove it for another three years and then gave it to my little brother. He drove it for a year and a half before the rings broke (and he had wrecked it several times too). He supposedly had it restored a few years ago, but if he did any of the work himself, it should just be towed to a junk yard 8).

That is a tough one

I like almost all my old cars and don't know of too many that I wouldn't like to have back now

Guess my 1983 elCamino with 5.7 LT diesel, great driving, able to tow my boat haul little stuff and 29 mpg new and still 22 mpg with 240,000 miles and engine never removed from the vehicle. YEAH IT NEEDED TO BE, compression was so bad it was hard to start and extremely slow at the end

But a few others

72 Chevy 4x4 3/4 ton Hugger orange and white
79 Ford short bed F150 4x4
1969 Chevelle 375HP396 4 speed 4.11 posi, guy I bought it from had 12 sec time slips

I keep looking for another elCamino. With all the late model engines that Chevy has with OD trans could put in an older truck and make a good daily driver or find a nice late 80's with factory od

Sorry if this thread already exists. What is your favorite non-mopar that you wish you had kept?
Mine would be my 72 Pontiac grand prix, bought it at an auction, with the engine in pieces in the trunk, rebuilt the engine put the heads and cam out of my little brothers circle track car. Never could get better than 8mpg. Driving one day in about 6inchs of snow/slush it kept getting slower and slower, until the tranny would just slip at anything over idle, parked it in the yard until someone stopped and asked if it was for sale. I thought the tranny was out, they spun the tires for about 15 minutes getting it loaded on a car hauler, and the tranny never slipped once.

A 1987 Olds 442, the last of the big Oldsmobiles. I bought it on my first leave home after boot camp over July 4th weekend, 1994. I had it for all of about five months before I realized that with my E-2 pay, this car was going to nickel and dime me to death! It had not been taken care of very well before I got it. On the dealership lot, it only had one muffler and the steel belt was showing through the rubber on the back tires. The interior was immaculate, but the engine needed rebuilt. I traded it for my 92 Ranger (which I still have) in December of that same year. As much as that car was a hole in my wallet, I still wish I had it. It was so much FUN to drive!

Here is a picture of a car similar to mine. It was just the standard anemic mid-80s GM 307, with a 4 barrel Rochester Quadrapuke. The thing I liked though was the air nozzle behind the rear license plate for the air shocks. It was fun to see the looks on peoples' faces when I hooked an air hose up to it and jacked the rear end all the way up!

Many people believed that the house was haunted and cursed, with the spirits of the murdered DeFeo family still lingering. Over the years, the Amityville curse has continued to capture public interest, with numerous reports of strange happenings and paranormal activity in and around the house. In 2020, the curse seemed to make headlines once again with the news that the house was up for sale. Potential buyers were warned by real estate agents about the dark history of the house and the potential spiritual disturbances associated with it. While some believe in the curse and see the Amityville house as a hotbed of evil, others remain skeptical and see it as nothing more than a series of coincidences and imaginative storytelling. However, it cannot be denied that the Amityville curse continues to captivate and terrify people to this day. In conclusion, the Amityville curse is a topic that has intrigued and frightened people for decades. The chilling events that took place in the house on 112 Ocean Avenue have spawned numerous books, movies, and debates. Whether one believes in the curse or not, it is undeniable that the story of the Amityville curse has become deeply embedded in popular culture and has left its mark on the history of paranormal phenomena..

Reviews for "The Amityville Curse: A Year of Darkness, Despair, and Dread in 2020"

1. Sarah - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "The Amityville Curse 2020." The plot was weak and unoriginal, and the acting was subpar. The scares were predictable and lacked any real tension. Overall, I found the film to be a waste of time and money.

2. James - 1 star - "The Amityville Curse 2020" is easily one of the worst horror movies I've ever seen. The story was nonsensical, with no logical progression or explanation for anything happening on screen. The characters were one-dimensional and unlikable, making it impossible to care about their fate. Save your money and avoid this film at all costs.

3. Emily - 2 stars - As a fan of horror movies, I was excited to watch "The Amityville Curse 2020," but unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. The pacing was incredibly slow, and the buildup to the scares was underwhelming. The story felt disjointed and lacked coherence, leaving me confused and dissatisfied. I would not recommend this film to anyone looking for a good horror experience.

4. Alex - 1 star - "The Amityville Curse 2020" was a complete waste of my time. The acting was atrocious, with wooden performances and no emotional depth from the actors. The special effects were laughable and amateurish, and the scares were more laughable than terrifying. I've seen better low-budget horror films on YouTube. Save your money and don't bother with this one.

5. Michael - 2 stars - I found "The Amityville Curse 2020" to be generic and forgettable. The plot felt recycled and offered nothing new to the horror genre. The characters were forgettable, and the dialogue was cliché-ridden. The film failed to leave any lasting impression, and I would not recommend it to avid horror fans.
