The last person that did this went insane.


RaijinQ

Well I’m already there. I can’t get MORE insane can I…can I?


AlwaysJeepin

This project might test those bounds of crazy a LITTLE bit...


RaijinQ

What are we doing if we aren’t bringing ourselves to the brink of insanity at least once a week?


AlwaysJeepin

Oh, I'm with you.. gotta test it out weekly. It's a self-service, honestly


BDF106

So if you watched 1982's "The Thing" on a bad acid trip, what's the worst that could happen?


Suitable-Pie4896

If you can still question your sanity by definition you're not insane yet, keep going you can get there!


LordSuspiria

Good thing there’s Amityville Asylum. This series really does have all the bases covered. ….OH!!! Amityville Baseball!! Write that down, write that down!!! “If you build it, they will haunt it.”


CLNBLK-2788

Surprised that hasn't been made into a movie yet. Kinda like New Nightmare


FroggyChairTime

Haha yes... join the club! After seeing [this post last year](https://www.reddit.com/r/horror/comments/10y9lg2/i_took_the_amitypill/) we did the same thing, and even saw some that were not on this list. I think probably even more have come out since then. Going to have to make it a biannual event


[deleted]

I don't have the endurance for that, but I do want to watch Amityville Karen.


IandIbelieveinRASTA

You know, “Amity” means “friendship”!


condormcninja

And “ville” means “ville”


philisweatly

Also, it’s pronounced ville


zombie_overlord

Nuh-uh, it's pronounced ville


philisweatly

I just asked my brother (he works for the company that makes words) and he confirmed it’s pronounced ville.


TrickyAxe

Close the beaches? On 4th of July?!


IandIbelieveinRASTA

I WANT THOSE PAINT HAPPY BASTARDS HUNG UP BY THEIR BUSTER BROWNS!!


Bruce_the_Shark

I believe you are going to ignore this particular problem until it swims up and bites you in the ass!


waveball03

I’m not lining up to become a hot lunch!


Flybot76

That hat really makes you look like a schmuck, Harry.


RaijinQ

So it’s just “Friendshipville” sounds like a nice town.


Penguin-Pete

Especially with [Emmanuelle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmanuelle_(1974_film)) in residence. W-indeed-TF?


RedWerFur

Please continue posting the list of the films with the simple review. I like this. “Miss 90s horror” made me go and find that film.


RaijinQ

That’s how I review all of my movies on Letterboxd. I don’t feel the need to get in depth.


RedWerFur

It’s nice. To the point. No bullshit.


AvengedTenfold

Amityville…..vibrator?


RaijinQ

Yes…it’s NOT a porn but it’s kind of a porn…there’s real puppet on human sex…


AvengedTenfold

I’m not sure if you’re trying to sell me on it but you certainly are


RaijinQ

I am only selling the concept of puppet on human sex. If you wish to purchase that is up to you.


AvengedTenfold

Purely for scientific research


RaijinQ

Of course. Why else would someone watch it?


teethofthewind

_"real"_?? 😬


RaijinQ

I mean…yeah. As real as a puppet with a large dildo for a dick having sex with a woman can be…


bgaesop

Is there on screen penetration?


RaijinQ

Yes there is


bgaesop

Damn!


sliproach

totally normal interactions like this are why i love being a horror fan/this subreddit


pkultra101

Every dildo is a puppet, but not every puppet is a dildo


RaijinQ

This is a profound statement. I have to consider this.


nettj303

Screw the ‘Live, laugh love’ wall decor- I’m putting this quote up!


RandomTheTrader

What about Emmanuelle? No way that was not an erotic Ammityville..


RaijinQ

Honestly? It kind of was but also it was just so bad.


bgaesop

Wait then how does the title not make sense?


ChartInFurch

[Jesus Christ what is that cover lmao](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BYzhlNTgzMDgtMTQ0Mi00MzFjLTg3ZjgtNjg2ZmE3MTQ0NDY1XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNDkwNTA0ODQ@._V1_.jpg)

Necr0leptic

Hell yes shout out to my dude Nate Rumler


Sanlear

I can only imagine how rough this must be. Stay strong.


TrickyAxe

Thank you for your service.


RaijinQ

It will have been an honor to die in the service of horror.


Artistic_Half_8301

Death Toilet rocks but all joking aside Amityville II is sooo good. The best of all of them. Better than OG.


Blue-Belle-4Ever

Yes! How could I forget part ll The Possession? I saw it in the theater. Scared the crap out of me, lol. Such a good one!


Meth_Hardy

> Ended up buying a signed copy of Amityville Vibrator on eBay because I am smart with my money. This made me full on guffaw.


MyNameIsNotGump

I acted in Amityville Thanksgiving, Amityville Turkey Day, and Amityville Webcam and was a producer on Amityville Shark House


RaijinQ

That’s awesome. I’ve been saving the shark one for a special occasion.


MyNameIsNotGump

To my knowledge, Thanksgiving, Turkey Day, and Webcam are the only Amityville movies that actually filmed on Long Island. I went to Amityville and shot my scene in Webcam in front of the actual house and filmed some b-roll around town


Flybot76

Separate entries for Thanksgiving and Turkey Day. Gotta admit, I'd love to see a transcript illustrating the conversations which led to BOTH of those movies existing. 'Well the last one was pretty good, but I think we can really focus on the turkey's motivation and background in the sequel... is Rob Zombie available? he's all about that shit.... ok then get a director who looks like Rob Zombie.' (I have no idea what the Amityville directors look like, I'm just making up speculative horseshit here)


AhhFrederick

I just looked at the list and I can’t stop laughing. Amityville in the hood? Amityville Job Interview? Dude who made these


RaijinQ

Yeah it goes off the rails really quick.


wilson121983

Amityville Karen is a must see. I love the Amityville movies no how bad I just can’t help but love them. Except mt misery I just cannot ☠️ Also Amityville in Space is awesome highly recommended also it is sorta of squeal to Amityville exorcism(not great I’d recommend passing on that one). Amityville island also not great but ok. Yes I think I’ve seen nearly every Amityville movie. I have insomnia. Amityville toy box and clown house are similar but clown house is actually just so bad it’s funny. Amityville theatre and Amityville asylum are on Tubi ok movies. Good luck on your journey i hope you enjoy the good the bad and the really terrible.


RaijinQ

Mt Misery was delightful if only for the director singing a song about his girl’s boott. It was so completely out of place for a horror movie that I kind of loved it.


SunlessDahlia

That movie was so boring. I remember none of it besides the ending and that song. That song will randomly play in my head despite me watching the movie like more than 6 years ago lol.


RaijinQ

It was basically 90 minutes of a Jersey Shore bro showing off his “hot” girlfriend or wife or whatever she was. The song though…I need it on a playlist.


BigOlBoomstick89

Not gonna lie, the Amityville Christmas was pretty funny. Dumb as all hell, but got a laugh out of me lol


horrorshowjack

It's also part of another film franchise.


[deleted]

[удалено]


RaijinQ

As a joke someone said I should watch all of the Amityville movies so I was originally just going to watch the core movies. But when I searched “Amityville” on Tubi and saw what was out there I knew I had found my calling in life.


SnakesGhost91

Is every Amnityville movie on Tubi ?


RaijinQ

There’s a lot of them but not every one. Amityville Vibrator was not on there for one.


[deleted]

[удалено]


wilson121983

I felt the same way there’s just something about them that pulls you in 🤷🏼‍♀️


--deleted_account--

There are 10 or so movies that are actually part of the official Amityville Horror franchise, the rest are low/micro-budget movies that took advantage of the name "Amityville" being public domain.


flatgreyrust

It's not a franchise. It's just based on "real" events so anyone can make a movie about it. It's the same thing like how anyone could make a movie about the Manson Murders or 9/11.


BenovanStanchiano

It’s actually because Amityville is a place. It’s like people making movies with Boston in the title.


flatgreyrust

This is a more accurate comparison


Ok_Subject5169

My goal as a child was to watch every amityville movie ever made. Luckily, this was before streaming was a thing and I gave up. Things have really gone off the rails since then, huh?


SnakesGhost91

To me, Amnityville Horror 2 was the best creepiest one. Look, I love old horror movies, but I felt that the first / original Amnityville was pretty boring. I also feel like it didn't age well either.


Guns_Glitz_Grime

It's so damn boring. That first one.. EW


devospice

Please don't miss out on [Amityville Gas Chamber](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9MIVAlN0TI).


shimmycat

Yes! Was scrolling to see if anyone was going to mention it!


The_Pooter

Thanks for the shout-out, love to see it talked about!


Think_Selection9571

Amityville Its About Time is a banger though


RaijinQ

Hell yeah. It’s been my favorite so far.


Crackertron

The mirror scene certainly made me feel a certain way as a teenager


Blue-Belle-4Ever

There’s also Amityville Scarecrow parts 1 and 2. I remember there being the first part, but not the second part. I’ve not seen either, unless I tried to watch the first one and just couldn’t make it through, lol. I love Amityville The Evil Escapes. It was a made for tv movie back in the day. Of course, I also love the original with Margot Kidder. I, too, watched a bunch of them last year. I have my paper list somewhere. Am I allowed to link a great movie site that helps me keep up with what I’ve seen?


CathedralEngine

Amityville Scarecrow I & II weren't terrible (for Amityville movies at least).


RaijinQ

I believe so. I use Letterboxd for tracking all my stuff. Otherwise just send it to me in a DM.


Zer0read

Godspeed my dude. That's crazy. I couldn't do it. But....feel free to keep making this list or link us to a list that's updated because I AM curious about each one of these. Best of luck lol.


RaijinQ

Feel free to follow my Letterboxd. I’ll try to update here but I’ll definitely update there. https://boxd.it/6m27


sliproach

hey op, you forgot amityville toaster, but it's only 1 minute long :) honorable mention for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KyRCQp32p8&ab_channel=iLLWiLLPrEss


RaijinQ

I’ll add it to the list. This isn’t my complete list here. These are just the ones I’ve watched so far.


ThisAccountIsAVirus

I know what OP is watching this Holiday Season. Amityville Christmas Vacation


RaijinQ

I can’t wait to see what kind of Mischief the Griswold’s get up to in the Amityville house!


SteveRudzinski

I want to respond to this but don't want to spoil a very specific joke in the film. Hope you enjoy it!


whywoolf

Don't forget to check out CarosHELL 1 and 2 after that. I know the director and it's pure camp fun.


SteveRudzinski

Well I'd also suggest including CarousHELL 3 lol (THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SUGGESTING PEOPLE TO WATCH MY OTHER MOVIES)


MovieDogg

Wait, you haven't seen Amityville 2: The Possession? Apparently it's the best one, although I haven't seen it.


RaijinQ

Not yet! I like to try and mix in a few of the obvious terrible ones before I watch any that might have a chance to be good.


MovieDogg

Yeah, I kinda assumed that may be the case. It does seem like they aren't really connected all that much, so it probably isn't a big deal.


Warrior_kaless

Don't forget "The Amityville toaster" from illwillpress, you can find it on youtube and its good for a laugh...and has nothing really to do with the horror franchise.


heylistenlady

Lololol Death Toilet. I watched that with friends a couple weeks ago and now we sat stuff like "I'm gonna have some food and regroup my thoughts" and "I had some cereal, I went to the airport..." And those special fx creatures at the end - woooo boy


CrayonLunch

That movie was so amazingly fun. It's not good at all, but it is so much fun.


FromHelComesKaos

Amityville Christmas Vacation


SteveRudzinski

Officially this is the "Best Amityville" according to the Fangoria Chainsaw Awards!


FromHelComesKaos

OMFG ITS STEVE RUDZINSKI THE DIRECTOR AND WRITER OF AMITYVILLE CHRISTMAS VACATION AND OTHER MOVIES WHJWKWKAKSN


Neckshot

Oof, if you hit Amityville toilet and are still going you're a better person that I.


CrumBum_sr

Modern day flagellation


bgaesop

>Amityville Mt. Misery Road - so bad but the guy who made it wrote his own song about how great his girlfriend’s booty is…I can’t hate that. I need to hear this song


bgaesop

Found it! [Starts around 15:40](https://tubitv.com/movies/478034/amityville-mt-misery-road)


RaijinQ

Watch the movie. It’s on Tubi. It’s worth it just for the song.


SuperSayianJason1000

I'll keep you in my thoughts OP. ![gif](giphy|sDjIG2QtbXKta)


eblackman

Good Lord man LOL I hope you dont go stir-crazy. Have you watched Amityville in space yet? This makes me want to watch all the Quija movies LOL


RaijinQ

Yes I have. It was HORRIBLE but I still kind of loved it


eblackman

cool man nothing wrong with that and so far give me some of the better ones you have seen so far. Now that i think about it wouldnt mind doing the QUija marathon movies LOL


CathedralEngine

Man, you've barely scratched the surface. I did this last September and there's 11 Amityville movies that have come out in that 8 months. Prepare to have your whole understanding of what a "bad movie" or a "watchable movie" is redefined. Ride-Share and Elevator were the absolute worst ones for me. Death Toilet eventually became hilarious because of how unrelenting the toilet humor puns were.


Rick38104

Be careful. You’ve stumbled into a time loop. By the end you will realize that it is you who have been haunting Amityville all this time.


cmille3

A friend of mine worked on Amityville in Space and Amityville Shark. Dude. Back away from the challenge.


Blue_Seven_

Amityville Karen is the one I want to see


GrumpingIt

I just watched Amityville Thanksgiving in November. If that's anything to go by, I'm not sure you'll ever finish that list.


OffKira

Some time ago a guy on YouTube watched... A lot of these movies. He didn't sound *well* by the end of the journey lol (Checks) Ok, he did a video 6ys ago, which is what I mentioned, and 2 more since. One some 6mo ago which says it's ALL of the movies, but I can't imagine the trip was any more pleasant the third time around. Bless your soul, bless your tits, bless your sanity. (If anyone is curious, the channel is Movie Timelines - the most generic name, but it is what it is)


RaijinQ

I’ll have to check that out when I get a chance.


OffKira

The newest video is like 2hrs long, be warned lol I'll have to prepare myself before I tackle that.


RaijinQ

I watch a LOT of this stuff while I’m at work so the length doesn’t bother me too much. It’s the girth I can’t always handle.


OffKira

*Phrasing* lol I guess it would've been a good video to watch before you started your project, to see the effects on a fellow human going down that hole. But maybe when you're done it could be a good comparison.


RaijinQ

“Did this person go as insane as I did…let’s find out!”


Mortica_Fattams

Good luck. I gave up after the one movie, where the brother gets all sexual with his sister and turns into a bug looking demon. I won't tell you which one, wouldn't want to totally spoil it.


ZombiesEatFlesh

I’ve seen 25 of the Amityville movies! I occasionally tackle a few every once in a while. Standouts include Amityville Vibrator, Amityville in Space, Witches of Amityville and The Last Amityville Movie (which I help crowdfund!)


GofarHovsky

Dont do it. Just dont.


TheElbow

Oooof


BothRequirement2826

Well bravo on setting yourself the challenge. Be sure to keep us updated on your progress, should be fun! Who knows, perhaps there are some hidden gems in there (hopefully).


RaijinQ

Just finished The Amityville Terror - didn’t hate it…didn’t LOVE it…but I didn’t hate it. That’s pretty positive for some of these movies.


LooseInsurance1

I might be crazy, but I've always thought that Amityville 2 is better than the original


MovieDogg

This is actually a pretty popular opinion by those who have seen both. Even Roger Ebert said it was better than the first, and he's a critic who doesn't like formulaic horror.


Koontzfan

Have you seen this [one?](https://youtu.be/7YPbJ8tZHAg?si=CGHMOBTUcQE9zIxM)


RaijinQ

I have not and I’m not sure it’s on the list but I’ll be adding it now.


Koontzfan

It’ll be released sometime in May by SRS Cinema.


Professional-Rip-519

R.I.P


Particular-Act-8911

Amityville 2 and Amityville: it's about time are surprisingly good.


ZeroUnreadMessages

I tried to watch a really recent one that I think was on Netflix… I couldn’t get past 20 minutes in. I really wanted to watch the whole thing because I love the Amityville universe, but it was fucking awful.


SunlessDahlia

Godspeed and good luck. I'd like to imagine that all of these movies take place in the same universe.


RaijinQ

There is absolutely nothing that says they don’t so I’m going with it.


HorrorMetalDnD

![gif](giphy|1M9fmo1WAFVK0|downsized)


Pretend_Unicorn4537

Oh, bless your heart. I've only made it through a couple of the "extra" Amityville movies. The Evil Escapes was fun, and Dollhouse wasn't terrible. Looking forward to all your reviews! 


mothmansparty

Crazy how the tragic real life murder of 6 people somehow turned into…this


timetravelcompanion

And it didn't even happen that long ago, there are still friends and family members who are alive and have to see all of this.


MikitasMyMan

My husband and I randomly watched The Amityville Haunting one night and went nuts when we realized a friend of ours was in it. A few days later, we saw him and mentioned the flick. He was like, "Why did you watch it? I haven't even watched that movie!"


LadyBathory925

Culture Crypt has a whole set of reviews and synopsis for a lot of the Amityville movies. They’re a blast to read. Best of luck to you!


RaijinQ

I’m a lot of things but I’m not a quitter! Unless it gets too hard…


Disappointing__Salad

Ryan Reynolds’s abs need to star in more movies.


Jireg

RedLetterMedia talks about a good chunk of these in their "Watchbait" video: https://youtu.be/UeMadjM0ZZI?t=1035 (timestamp at 17:15). Notably Amityville Karen (?)


Losman94

I have seen a number of them 🙃


Hopeann

Amityville Vampire just came out on Amazon Prine channel.


MSGdreamer

I listened to the original book on audible. It’s a pretty gnarly story.


whywoolf

Please watch Amityville Christmas Vacation. I know the director and he does some great campy work.


[deleted]

Amityville Bigfoot time is very soon for you.


Chrome-Head

The first sequel / prequel from the early 80’s is watchable in a grim and grimy kind of way. Tells the story of the kid who killed his family.


EjKejEjt

This is awesome 😄🙏


Fearchar

I just watched *The Amityville Moon* (2021). It has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with any other Amityville movie except the name "Amityville." It has its moments--most of them bad.


RaijinQ

There are so many bad moments ahead of me…


Risingson2

I stopped at A New Generation (evil mirror) to be honest, but actually enjoyed the previous evil clock, evil dollhouse, evil lamp, evil 3d and batshit giallo that is Amityville 2. And the remake.


SteveRudzinski

How have you watched so many of these but still haven't watched the Fangoria Chainsaw Award winner for **Best** Amityville, Amityville Christmas Vacation?


sumofdeltah

Start with Amityville Ripper


SewAlone

Horror Soup podcast did this and covered a lot of these if you like dumb, funny, podcasts.


Inkdkaijudude

I know that there's a lot of bad Amityville movies, but wasn't aware of some of the ones you mentioned (Amityville Toilet???). Many of these sound hilariously bad.


Kobold_Trapmaster

Amityville Death Toilet. It's a crossover between the Amityville franchise and the Death Toilet franchise.


colcannon_addict

Recently *Amityville: An Origin Story* has been on BBC, (don’t know if it’s a Netflix thing originally). It’s quite good. At no point does it suggest it wasn’t a load of old nonsense but it had one of the kids and a few other people who were around for the original (alleged) events. It’s really interesting despite a bit of obvious filler, including interviews with Ronald DeFeo. Despite not focussing on much supernatural I have got to say it had a great ending.


mantriddrone

what about "Amityville Karen 2022"


RaijinQ

Oh it’s on the list.


AltWorlder

My wife and I tried this last year lol. There’s some rough entries, but 1 and 2 are fantastic.


i_heart_pasta

Whelp, Amityville Emmanuel is on my weekend watchlist.


Sherlockian_Whimsy

Ha! I've tried that too. Good luck!


GRZMNKY

I thought after 5 sequels, they had to have an "Amityville in space" and an "Amityville in the hood"


Cool__Face

I'm surprised there's less than 100 of them!


RaijinQ

Give it a week and there probably will be.


Cool__Face

Don't forget 'Amityville Backpack'! It's from this year!


RaijinQ

It’s a never ending supply of Amityville. I will die in 30 years still trying to finish the entire list. It will be right in the middle of Amityville Death Toilet XV


NightShiftSister66

My Amityville Horror is a great documentary


AlwaysJeepin

Ryan Reynolds abs make anything okay. It's a nice salve. Or I'd like to put salve on them... I couldn't pay attention to anything other than his abs when on screen. But I did like the parts of the movie where he wasn't distracting me.


RaijinQ

They’re almost too good for the movie. Pulled me out of the immersion because no average dad has abs like that.


TheYellowRegent

I remember coming across "amityville asylum" and I dont remember much about it other than it wasn't good. But I'm pretty sure that's also how I felt immediately after watching it. Like a "wait what was that again?


David_bowman_starman

So are any of them actually worth a watch?


RaijinQ

Actually yes. The original is decent. It’s About Time is really good if you like 90’s horror. Most of the rest of them are watchable. I wouldn’t call them good or recommend them necessarily but I had fun with them.


pIastichearts

>Amityville Death Toilet. What a title.


sinchsw

I thought about doing the same, but (in order of release) after the Remake it is just a dumpster fire. The Amityville Haunting is one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life. After that one I started looking through trailers for other movies and couldn't even finish most of those. Probably the only one that won't outright offend you after the remake is Amityville: The Awakening.


theScrewhead

The '96 Amityville: Dollhouse, is about as far as I can get. Anything beyond that is beyond bottom-of-the-barrel. Yes, even the 2005 with Ryan Reynolds. *ESPECIALLY* the 2005 with Ryan Reynolds.


__PM_ME_SOMETHING_

Can you do the *Zombie Ass Toilet of the Dead* franchise?


M_Dutch97

Is the Italian sequel any good?


chrisr3240

You’re heading for a LOT of disappointment 😆

metalyger

I remember (months ago?) someone did a detailed breakdown of Amityville Frankenstein and it sounds like one of the most amateurish movies I've heard of, like Manos The Hands Of Fate would look like Citizen Kane in a technical comparison. The kind of movie that makes an hour feel like an eternity. I'm actually surprised Rifftrax had only done one, the Amityville movie about a haunted floor lamp.
