Episode 37: LIVE SHOW at Jarrod’s: The Amityville Horror

Our first LIVE SHOW!!    Recorded live at Jarrod’s Coffee in Mesa, this episode dives into the real story behind The Amityville Horror. Colleen and Tayler trace the 1974 DeFeo family murders at 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, Long Island, and unpack how a tragic true crime case turned into one of America’s most famous haunted-house legends. We cover Ronald DeFeo Jr.’s conviction, the Lutz family’s 28 days in the house, the claims of demonic activity, and the media frenzy that followed—from book deals and movie adaptations to the paranormal investigations (hello, Ed and Lorraine Warren). Along the way, we separate documented facts from sensational myths, explore the town’s complicated relationship with its most infamous address, and ask: what, if anything, still lingers behind those quarter-moon windows?
