The Amityville Horror
A grieving family moves into a notorious New York home, only to discover its murderous past haunting them as unseen forces threaten to claim their children unless they uncover the house’s dark secret.
“What happened over the next 28 days has never been explained.”
Synopsis
George Lutz, his wife Kathy, and their three children move into a Dutch colonial mansion in the coastal town of Amityville, Long Island. The home, unexpectedly affordable, soon reveals a disturbing history, as each member of the Lutz family begins experiencing strange and violent visions and impulses.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 36
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 5.7× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
