The legend of
The Amityville Horror began in 1974, when 23-year-old Ronald DeFeo Jr. took a rifle and stalked from bedroom to bedroom in his family's Long Island home, murdering his father, mother, and four younger siblings. The murders happened in the middle of the night, and every one of the victims was found face down in bed. During the court case, DeFeo tried to defend himself by claiming insanity, saying he was driven to commit the murders by the voices he heard in his head. The defense didn't work; he was found guilty on six counts of second degree murder and given six sentences of 25 years to life. Over the years, DeFeo would try to blame the murders on other members of his family, his mother and one of his sisters, but it didn't earn him any leniency.

'Amityville Horror' killer Ronald DeFeo Jr. dead at 69; Long Island family murder inspired movie, book

FALLSBURG, N.Y. -- Ronald DeFeo Jr., who was convicted of slaughtering his parents and four siblings in a home that later inspired the "The Amityville Horror" book and movies, has died, prison officials said Monday.
DeFeo, 69, died Friday at Albany Medical Center, where he was taken Feb. 2 from a prison in New York's Catskill Mountains, the state Department of Corrections and Community Services said. The cause of his death wasn't immediately known.
DeFeo was serving a sentence of 25 years to life in the 1974 killings of his father, mother, two brothers, and two sisters in their Suffolk County home.
The home became the basis of a horror-movie classic after another family briefly lived there about a year after the killings and claimed the house was haunted. A book and two movies - the 1979 original, starring James Brolin, Margot Kidder and Rod Steiger, and a 2005 remake - portrayed a home with strange voices, walls that oozed slime, furniture that moved on its own, and other supernatural features.
