1. The Amityville Horror (1979)
Alleged psychics, as well as author Jay Anson and the house-owning Lutz Family themselves, to this day adamantly maintain their claim of a demonic possession in da house. Yet many orbiting players have long-since admitted to foul play, among them jurist William Webber stating the whole thing was concocted by himself and the Lutz family during a boozy evening in order to cash-in. Webber confessed he wanted to use the hoax to re-open the case of his client, the perpetrator of gruesome murders that did take place in 1974 prior to the Lutzes acquiring the abode. The group had allegedly been inspired by not only their home's creepy history but the recent success of
The Exorcist in theatres. Anything you'd like to add? Let us know in the comments box below.
