Matt, Katie and EJ continue their investigation of the Amityville Haunting. The ghosts and Jodi the pig pull out all the stops to torment the Lutz family. Even psychic mediums and demon hunters can't stop them, and the family flees in terror. But how much of this story is true? And how much is a fabrication by the Lutzes - and the most famous paranormal investigators in the world?

Matt, Katie and EJ continue their investigation of the haunting in Amityville. Immediately after the Lutz family moves in, strange things start happening. Nightmares, moving objects, bizarre odors and even visits from demonic pigs. But are these disturbing stories the ghosts of the past? Or are there more sinister motives behind the alleged hauntings?

The Amityville Horror is a story of real-life murder, of ancient rites and sacrifices, of unspeakable terrors that plagued a family. It’s the story of an evil so powerful that it could twist men’s minds, driving them to unspeakable acts of violence. A story of possession and demonic attacks, and malicious corruption.
But this is also the story of manipulation, of deceit and a shitload of lies. Because the Amityville Horror house was never haunted. But the characters who built the story did so with such skill that they crafted not just another haunted house tale, but an entire media franchise. Built on a foundation of lies, the Amityville Horror redefined the haunting narrative, and skyrocketed the story’s architects into unquestionable fame.

Matt
he/him
I work in film and tv, both behind the camera and in the editing room. I’ve been a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians for over 20 years. Since childhood, I’ve been obsessed with cryptids, the paranormal and conspiracy theories. I believe that everything deserves to be explored, and nothing exists in a vacuum. Every belief we hold, every experience we have and every story we tell is influenced by our background, our situation and the world around us.
Favorite horror movies:
Hereditary, Burnt Offerings, His House, Creature from the Black Lagoon, anything Godzilla, The Ritual, Lake Mungo, Underwater, Amityville Horror (1979), Alien, Trollhunter
Favorite horror books/stories:
The Shining, Pickman’s Model, The Yellow Wallpaper, Was it a Dream?, A Headful of Ghosts, the Night Watch series, Crouch End, Something is Killing the Children
If I was a cryptid I’d be:
Either a cadborosaurus, so I’d be able to swim around the ocean, or Mokele-Mbembe because dinosaurs are awesome
Non-paranormal pursuits:
Woodworking, flyfishing, giving treats to cats
EJ
they/she
As an introvert that thrives on deep, meaningful conversation, I guess I’m a walking paradox. I grew up in a creaky old farmhouse in Upstate New York where I played with frogs and made all the adults call me Macgyver. When I was a kid, I saw something that looked like a sasquatch run through the swamp behind my house. I’m fascinated by what we think we see and what beliefs we hang on to, even as more information comes to us. Let’s get into it.
Their horror novel, ANA MUST DIE (AGAIN) is forthcoming from Evil Twin, spring 2027.
Favorite horror movies/TV shows:
Parasite, Paranormal Activity, One Cut of the Dead, Hush, Creep, Midnight Mass, Train to Busan, Nope, Midsommar
Favorite horror books/stories:
The Terror, House of Leaves
If I was a cryptid, I’d be:
Bigfoot because you’re always warm, you’re an apex predator, and you live alone in the woods away from people. What more could you ask for??
Non-paranormal pursuits:
Martial arts, knitting/crochet, exploring nature, writing
Katie
she/her
As a kid, I was terrified by the paranormal, but also fascinated with it. I read a book on poltergeists in elementary school and kept a keen watch on myself as an early tween, just in case it might happen to me. Ghosts aren’t real but I really hope one day I experience something I can’t explain. I’m always curious about what we think we understand, what we don’t, and what stories we tell ourselves about it all.
Favorite horror movies:
Lol no. I hate being scared and as a result, I have seen very few horror films and almost always refuse to watch them. Casper has a ghost in it, right? Just kidding. I do love The Shining - red rum!
Favorite horror books/stories:
Again, I have read very few. But the two I’ve read, remember, and loved are classics: The Tell Tale Heart and The Call of Cthulhu.
If I was a cryptid I’d be:
Probably a Yeti, because I love the snow.
Non-paranormal pursuits:
Reading non-fiction and hanging out with friends.
Quixote and Zuri

Favorite horror books/stories:
