The Amityville Curse is a prequel to The Amityville Horror written by Hans Holzer and released in 1981. A film adaptation titled The Amityville Curse was released direct-to-video in 1990.

Summary[]

The plot is entirely fictional, detailing how the house at 112 Ocean Ave. was once a rectory where one of the priests died, and the house subsequently becoming haunted.

Reception[]

The book was given mixed reviews. It confused readers with why the house was haunted. This was because Holzer's 1979 book Murder in Amityville tells a different story on why the house is haunted.

Film adaptation[]

A film adaptation loosely based on the book, The Amityville Curse, was released direct-to-video in 1990.[2]
