It is a piece of American cinema history known to horror buffs across the globe.

And now the haunted house from 1978’s ‘The Amityville Horror’ movie is up for sale.

The 10-room colonial-style structure at 18 Brooks road in Toms River was built in the 1920s and is listed for $1.35 million.

For the movie, a superstructure was built around the outside to make it look like the home in Amityville, New York, whose owners claimed was possessed by evil spirits.

TROUBLED HOUSE CALLS 911, COPS COME TO THE RESCUE

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — It sounds like a scene from a Poltergeist movie. A house in Massachusetts, getting ravaged by water from a leaky pipe, managed to call for help on its own.

Police got a 911 hang-up call Wednesday and when they called back they just got static.

So officers headed out, they made a forced entry and found a total mess.

Wood floors were buckled, ceilings were sagging, the basement was filled with five feet of water and potentially toxic mold was growing all over the place.

It appears the water short-circuited the phone system, triggering a 911 call.
