A treat for horror fans has just arrived in the shape of a horror documentary called Amityville: An Origin Story, which is out to document all that was involved in and inspired the making of the iconic Amityville horror film franchise. The show has cast people from real life that were involved in various ways in the establishment of the Amityville world, along with its relation to real-world cases.
The mysterious mass murder that took place, with the sudden rise in interest in supernatural and paranormal activities in the 1970s, along with the sudden spike in the horror film genre from both makers and the audience, are all aspects included and covered in this documentary series. The makers of the series have exciting interviews, witnesses, and ancient footage that have kept all that inspired the actual film franchise a secret, now finally revealed.
Fans of horror know that the Amityville story has inspired and been the cause of origin for way too many films, reboots, remakes, spinoffs, and series. We had one released very recently as well, and the producers are convinced they can continue to add more spins and creativity to the actual story and milk some more content from the actual incident.
Though we may be completely over the Amityville obsession and its million remakes, this documentary is definitely different in the sense that this series will finally give us a deeper insight into the actual Amityville incident with real witnesses and footage, and interviews.
Amityville: An Origin Story Episode 2 Plotline
The producers of the show have promised that fans will finally be told, once and for all, what went down in that godforsaken house that refuses to leave horror producers’ minds. We get a deeper look into the murder that took place at the DeFeo family house, which ended up taking up six lives, and how it got turned into a supernatural gossip story that completely deviated attention from the actual murder investigation.
This particular incident has inspired way too many stories and even a book called The Amityville Horror, written by Jay Anson. Though this may have been fun content for us, it is also the story of a loving family that got murdered in an unfair and unjust manner. There have been speculations among people who were close to the incident at the time that the murder of the entire family might have some relation with the underworld crime people.
This aspect of the incident raises a lot of questions but was very conveniently covered by the supernatural agenda that was pushed, and people immediately bought into it and started obsessing over it. An obsession that continues till now.
The documentary takes it upon itself to reveal all pieces of related information, photographs, video footage, new interviews, and eyewitnesses to try to make sense of the incident and get the story right finally. Those who saw the events up close finally reveal all that they had kept to themselves about the horrifying incident.
