Though the story is largely fictional (contrary to George Lutz's claims), the factual elements of the story remain present in the movies. Ronald DeFeo murdered six members of his family on November 13, 1974, and was convicted of six accounts of second-degree murder on November 21, 1975. On December 4, 1975, DeFeo was sentenced to six concurrent 25 to life sentences. The Lutz family moved into 112 Ocean Avenue on December 19, 1975, and moved out on January 14, 1976. Especially in this version, the rest is all fiction mostly based on Jay Anson's novel "The Amityville Horror" published on September 13, 1977, by Prentice Hall. In real life, the Lutz family's dog Harry did survive, unlike as depicted in this movie.
