AMITYVILLE, N.Y., May 25 (UPI) -- The New York state house that inspired "The Amityville Horror" is back on the market for an asking price of $1.15 million.
The home, where Ronald DeFeo Jr. killed six family members in 1974 and was supposedly haunted when George and Kathleen Lutz lived there for 28 days, was listed Monday in Amityville by Daniel Gale Sotheby's International Realty, Newsday reported Tuesday.
The events at the home inspired Jay Anson's 1977 book, "The Amityville Horror: A True Story," which in turn became the basis for several film adaptations.
"It's one of the more beautifully redone houses in the neighborhood," listing agent Laura Zambratto said.
