10 Horror Movies That Forced You To Answer Impossible Questions
6. Would You Buy A Bargain House If An Entire Family Was Murdered In It? - The Amityville Horror
In both the original 1979 The Amityville Horror and its 2005 remake, the Lutz family moves into their dream home that they managed to snag at a bargain price.
The deal came about, however, because an horrendous crime was committed there a year prior - a man murdered all six members of his family in the middle of the night.
While there's of course zero tangible evidence in real life that supernatural forces can possess a person and compel them to murder their family, nobody could really be blamed for not wanting to live in a house where six people were slain just a year before.
The ever-present dark cloud of the house's history, and the potential for it to become a ghoulish tourist spot, ultimately may not make even a massive discount worthwhile.
Then again, money talks, and if you can score a massive reduction on your mortgage while putting your dream home's horrific past to the back of your mind, you're instantly much, much closer to being mortgage-free and maybe even able to retire early.
