Ronald Defeo Jr., the man who murdered his parents and four siblings, in the house at 112 Ocean Avenue, and inspiring the novel and movie The Amityville Horror is dead at the age of 69. Defeo died in the Sullivan Correctional Facility while serving six life sentences. On Wednesday, November 13, 1974, 23-year-old DeFeo entered a local bar and in a panic revealed that his entire family had been slain. It did not take long for him to be arrested and charged. When police entered the house they found a shocking scene, each family member lay dead in their beds, each from a gunshot wound received while they slept. The children, aging from 9 to 18, were the most heartbreaking sight. During his trial, DeFeo claimed insanity and that voices made him do it. While he admitted to being on LSD and other drugs at the time of the murders, the court deemed him sane and fit to stand trial.

Man, Ronnie Jr. “Butch” DeFeo (John Robinson) has got it tough. His abusive ape of a father (Paul Ben-Victor) treats him like a punching bag (due in no small part to his draft dodging, pot smoking ways)…when he isn’t up to Mob biz that is, his dabbling into the supernatural has left him susceptible to arcane evil from the depths of hell, his girlfriend is on his ass every second (she kinda has a point as Butch chucks her ass out of a car into a huge mud puddle after a mid-blowie, hallucinogenic incest based freak-out…you know, a Tuesday for you boils n’ ghouls no doubt), oh…and there’s a rock solid chance this cat is a full-on lunatic. Before long the paranormal and psychosis begin to take their toll and Butch will be pushed beyond his limits! There’s a lot to dig about The Amityville Murders in my not so humble opinion. For starters, Robinson and Ben-Victor absolutely nail their
