The unofficial Amityville Horror movies just keep getting weirder, with recent films including Amityville in Space, Amityville Thanksgiving, and Amityville Christmas Vacation. Essentially, indie filmmakers are having a blast poking fun at the franchise with these wildly unofficial installments, using the name brand recognition to draw attention to their efforts. Up next?

Twice a month Joe Lipsett will dissect a new Amityville Horror film to explore how the “franchise” has evolved in increasingly ludicrous directions. This is “The Amityville IP.” Last editorial, I pondered if the best films in the Amityville Horror franchise are the paired entries.

The Amityville IP: 1983’s ‘Amityville 3D’ Has a Great Climax and a Bland Protagonist

Twice a month Joe Lipsett will dissect a new Amityville Horror film to explore how the “franchise” has evolved in increasingly ludicrous directions.
