The Resume

    Family Members: George Lutz, Kathy Lutz (?-August 17, 2004) and Kathy's children Danny, Chris, Missy, and a dog named Harry
    Moved into 112 Ocean Avenue on December 18, 1975
    Fled from the house after 28 days
    Concocted a hoax known as 'the Amityville Horror'
    Claimed they purchased a house that was plagued with demons and ghosts

Why they might be annoying:

    They created the haunting hoax 'The Amityville Horror.'
    Kathy was divorced.
    They teamed up with writer Jay Anson to publish the 'true' story about the haunting.
    They made money off of what was an obvious lie.
    They kept changing their accounts of the haunting events.
    They moved out of the house after 28 days.
    The people who lived in the house after them experienced no paranormal events.
    They turned a beautiful, normal home into an icon of terror.
    The town of Amityville will always be associated with a scary story.
    Some people believe that there is an Amityville curse, and those who worked on the Amityville movies and those who read the Amityville books will be plagued with ghosts, demons, and financial problems.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Their story gave us good horror fiction and movies.
    Kathy was confined to a wheelchair prior to her death (August 17, 2004).
