"Amityville Horror" fans, mark your calendars: The Amityville Film Festival is scheduled July 11 at dusk to celebrate the chilling flick's 30th anniversary. Just be prepared to travel to Seaside Heights, N.J., to catch it. Even though the movie is about the haunting of the South Shore Dutch Colonial where Ronald DeFeo, Jr. murdered his parents and four siblings in 1974, it was filmed in Toms River, N.J. The festival, which will also show the sequels, is free. For a full rundown on the murder, the book, the movie... scope out Seaside Heights News Magazine and Talky Blog!, www.popartpete, where neat pictures are also posted.
