The thing about Burnt Offerings is that it's always surprising to me that it doesn't get talked about in the same sort of class as Amityville Horror.

Julia SchifiniHOST
Following that, you had Boris Karloff in the aptly titled The Old Dark House in 1932, and then of course, skipping ahead a few years, but, uh, a really sort of classic, you had Alfred Hitchcock's version of the gothic classic Rebecca, which also is famous for giving us the wife in the attic trope.
Julia SchifiniHOST
Uh, just listing a few more because I think they really capture the visual appeal of the haunted house in early film, uh, The House on Haunted Hill, Hitchcock's Psycho, and of course near and dear to our Long Island hearts, The Amityville Horror.
Julia SchifiniHOST
Not a Victorian mansion, though.

So the explanations of why the house was possessed are, number one, because of the murders.

The property has spawned a book and multiple films since then.
JasonHOST
It's called The Amityville Horror.
JasonHOST
True crime occurred involved Ronald Butch – never trust a guy named Butch – DeFeo Jr. as he shot and killed all six members of his family as they lay in their beds.
JasonHOST
The bodies of his parents, Ronald and Louise, both 43, were found face down in their beds, still in their pajamas, as were the bodies of DeFeo's siblings, Don, Alyssa – Allison, sorry – Mark and John.

JoeHOST
So one of the first examples was The Amityville Horror, which, uh, in terms of film, there was obviously examples in books and such, um, which was released in 1979 Uh, much like other cultures, the idea of burial practices and attitudes towards death greatly vary between indigenous communities, just like any other culture.
JoeHOST
It's, it's a lot of bullshit.
JoeHOST
It's basically just...
JoeHOST
Uh, a collective idea of an indie burial ground was basically created by European settlers and colonizers due to their ignorance, and ironically, native grave sites were often damaged and destroyed, leading to the creation of the Native American Graves Protection and Rep- Repatriation Act of 1990.
JoeHOST
So ironically, before...
JoeHOST
Well, not, not in 2019 obviously, but the original movie and The Amityville Horror, for example-
