His work, The Amityville Horror, was sold as "a true story," and it was based on the reported experiences of George Lutz and Kathleen Lutz at 112 Ocean Avenue in December 1975.
With more than 500 documentary scripts for television to his credit, he was associated with Professional Films, Inc. He began as a copy boy on the New York Evening Journal in 1937 and later worked in advertising and publicity. After the runaway success of that novel, he wrote 666, which also dealt with a haunted house. Jay Anson (Novem– March 12, 1980) was an American author whose most famous work was The Amityville Horror. The Lutzes had sold the rights to the book to Anson, who had added to and adapted some of the Lutz's original claims.
THE AMITYVILLE HORROR is an unforgettable book with all the shocks and gripping suspense of The Exorcist, The Omen, or Rosemary's Baby-but with one vital difference! As the author reports, "To the extent that I can verify them, all the events in this book are true.Jay Anson (Novem– March 12, 1980) was an American author whose most famous work was The Amityville Horror. It began when their five-year-old daughter boasted of her new playmate, someone-or something-named "Jodie." Meanwhile, alone in their new home, the Lutz family were embarking on the most terrifying experience of their lives. ON the day they moved in, a priest invited to bless the house was told by an unseen voice to "Get Out!" At his rectory, he began to suffer a series of inexplicable afflictions. But it seemed an ideal home for them and their three children, and the price was right. George and Kathleen Lutz were aware that the house of a mass murder-Ronald DeFeo, 23, was convicted of shooting his parents, brothers, and sisters. Now their own carefully-reconstructed memories-and independent interviews with local clergy and police-reveal their entire harrowing story. But the Lutz family never disclosed the full details to the media.
The fantastic story of their experiences was widely publicized on network television, newspapers, and national magazines. Twenty-eight days later, they fled in terror, leaving most of their belongings behind. On December 18, 1975, a young family of five moved into their new home, complete with finished basement, swimming pool, and a boathouse.
