History Franchise / Amityville

* IndianBurialGround: The house was built on land that was used as a burial ground by Natives. Or land where Natives exiled their invalids. Or land where a bunch of Natives were massacred.

* PaterFamilicide: The Evil seems to take perverse joy out of making people kill their own families, having used its corrupting influence to orchestrate the massacres of the [=DeFeos=], the Montellis, the Bronners, the Jansons, the Jacobsons, the Humes, the Walkers, and the Pangborns.

* TheCorrupter: The Evil, when not outright possessing people, enjoys poisoning their minds and making them AxeCrazy.

Bronner and Keyes Terry in ''A New Generation'', Jimmy Martin in ''Dollhouse'', Melanie Benson in ''Haunting'', Mark Janson in ''Legacy'', Charles Humes and Amy Dukane in ''Exorcism'', and Senator Ty Pangborn and Ben in ''Evil Never Dies.''

* DevilButNoGod: We see a lot of demonic evil, but very little Heavenly goodness, with about the only instance of the latter being Sonny Montelli (who had just undergone an exorcism) being levitated back to his feet by an angelic light at the end of ''The Possession.''

* GeographicFlexibility: The layout of the house, as well as the land that it is situated upon, is far from consistent, with the worst offenders in this regard probably being ''Haunting'', ''Death House'', and ''No Escape.''

* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: Ronald [=DeFeo=] Jr. killed his family with a rifle, but most recreations of the massacre replace the weapon with a shotgun; shotguns are also used in the [=DeFeo=]-inspired mass shootings that occur in films like ''A New Generation, Asylum'', and ''Legacy.''

* EvilPhone: Amityville's telephones are prone to spewing only static, garbled nonsense or voices from beyond, when they are not melting or bursting into flames.

* FliesEqualsEvil: They often act as harbingers of doom, though they somehow manage to directly kill a man in ''3-D.'' They are replaced by wasps in ''Dollhouse'', and by bees in ''Death House'' and ''Exorcism.''

* IAmLegion: The Evil at one point refers to itself in the plural in ''The Possession'', and it was portrayed as being an apparent hive mind that was made up of six individual demons in ''Playhouse.''

** ''Asylum:'' The house was demolished and replaced by the High Hopes Psychiatric Hospital, which is haunted by the ghost of Allison [=DeFeo=]. The Satchem were a Native American tribe who immigrated to Amityville after being run out of Salem. They believed that they would be granted immortality if they made regular sacrifices of six people to a deity called the Dark Master, and were wiped out on the site of what would later become 112 Ocean Avenue by a witch hunter named John Underhill.

* BasedOnAGreatBigLie:...''maybe''. But the [=DeFeo=] murders really did happen, and some of the spookier circumstances surrounding them (like the neighbors not hearing any of the gunshots) are true.

* HauntedHouse: One of the most (in)famous examples in modern American history, though a few of the pseudo-sequels relocate things to other structures, like a theatre and a BedlamHouse. ''Curse'' and ''Terror'' are both set in different haunted houses that just so happen to also be in Amityville.

* VampireEpisode: The villain of ''Harvest'' is a vampire named Vincent.

* ''Amityville Vibrator'' (2020; and no, this is not a {{Parallel Porn Title|s}})
