Episode 465: The Amityville Horrible
Part 1 of Spooktacular 2024 “Is There A Ghost In My House?”
This week Host Dave Bledsoe insists he is not responsible for this bar tab since it was incurred while he was possessed by demon alcohol. (The bouncers performed a quick and dirty exorcism and he paid right up!) On the show this week we kick off Spooktacular 2024 with the REAL story behind The Amityville Horror. (Hint: It was all for the money.)
Along the way we learned that Dave’s has a lot of stories about ghosts and none of them are true. (Same for ALL of his stories.) Then we dive right into the factual portions of the story, the parts about the house and the brutal murders that took place. (The actual story is pretty horrible.) Then we meet the Lutz family, who thought they got a great deal on a murder house but they found out what they really got was a ticket on the ghost gravy train! (All they had to do was lie a little!) We learn that pretty much everything in the book and movie were made up one night over way too much wine and way to little ethical standards. (God Bless America!)
Our sponsor this week is Revenant Realtors, because ghosts need housing too. We open the show with a news report from 1979 and close with Marshal Mathers in a song that we definitely, probably, don’t, have the rights to play on the show.
