This house was used for the original 3 movies. It was moved immediately after filming exteriors for Amityville 3D, in order for the owner to build a house for his daughter on the property.. If you look closely, theres a scene in Amityville 3D where Tony Roberts and his daughter Lori Loughlin pull up to the house, the top windows on the street side are square, and not quarter moon shaped. They were rushed for exterior shots so they didnt go all out like in the previous 2 films. Thanks again Grimmlife! Happy Halloween!🎃

I don't blame the town of Amityville for being so restrictive and unwelcoming. Not all visitors are as responsible and respectful as Michael & Jessica. I knew someone who proudly displayed a shingle from the original house that they needed to trespass and damage someone's home in order to obtain. Thank you Michael & Jessica for always being passionate, professional and informative.

We had a family gathering yesterday and I put y'all on our TV. We watched your channel for 3 hours. I was the only one that watched until yesterday. Now all of my children are watching. Thanks for sharing.

As someone who grew up in the area, it’s so cool seeing you guys documenting so many areas I’ve visited on so many occasions. I remember how big a deal it was as a little kid that they had filmed in TR, and every time I drove by the area I constantly thought about that house and would be on the lookout for it. There were stories about the homeowners calling the cops because of people showing up at the house in the middle of the night wanting a tour, and just wandering through their yard lol. It’s awesome that one of the great classics of horror was filmed in my neck of the woods! Thanks for the great retrospective!

Youre the man. That movie to this day freaks me out. Especially part 2 the Possession. Did anyone ever give you crap for filming outside? I hear the residents there get really mad at viewers. Excellent job. Thank you!!

What's wild is I was just rewatching your Amityville story video this morning! And you uploaded this. Definitely a classic film for sure.

I live in NJ not far from Pt. Pleasant and Toms River, I had no idea so much of the movie was filmed in those locations. Also as a Catholic I deeply appreciate your respect when filming in a Church. Well done!

The meditation garden ( or whatever it really is ) is absolutely beautiful, what a great place to just sit and reflect.

I’m glad it’s cloudy when you do these horror movie locations because it’s great atmosphere!

Great job you two. 👏
It's a shame the town of Amityville is in such denial of their past.
Thank ya'll for another awesome video! ❤️

Watching your videos is like going out for coffee & conversation with an old, trusted friend. I leave with a nice warm fuzzy feeling inside & my mood is elevated & content ❤ Thank you 😊

[jonharvey]

Thanks for the memories of the movies that you do I appreciate the work you do ❤️

Toms River was a good fill in for Amityville. Even though it's technically the Jersey shore area, it sure has that south shore of Long Island feel to it and the location scouts did a good job of picking some great areas to film in. Thanks Michael and Jessica for another excellent Grimm adventure!
