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.

This last weekend, Chris went to a reunion of people from his High School drama group. His teacher, Chuck Lytle, performed a ritual that was done before every show. He passed around a little toy mouse — the same one in fact! — and everyone got to rub it for luck. The feelings that moment brought back were so tangible that Chris has decided to devote tonight’s open lines program to talking about luck. Do you believe in it? Can we affect it? Can we change it?

Akshat Saxena had seven fingers on each hand and 10 toes on each foot when he was born in India in 2010, a Guinness spokeswoman told The Huffington Post.
“I was so happy to see my baby as it was our first child,” his mother Amrita Saxena told NDTV. “But later, when I saw his fingers, I was shocked and surprised.”
Doctors recently amputated the excess appendages in a series of surgeries and now Saxena has the typical five digits per limb, the Guinness spokeswoman said.
This prodigious polydactyl wasn’t born with thumbs, but doctors planned to create them with pieces of the extra figners, The Hindustan Times reported.
What would you do if this thing was stealing your fruit?

This ape made a monkey of Chinese villagers who feared it was a visitor from another world.
Locals panicked when Mao Xiping, a housewife from the village of Gezhai, in Henan province, central China, found the scraggy simian stealing cucumbers from her flat.
She thought it was a harmless rabbit, until she noticed it had an ‘alien face’ and her neighbours agreed it was like nothing they had ever seen before.
Maybe, we can finally get some answers to all those questions we’ve been asking for so long. Who lived there? What was the cities purpose? What caused it and it’s people to disappear and was the entire thing a giant spaceship that just one day took off into space?

Atlantis, the legendary metropolis believed swamped by a tsunami thousands of years ago, in mud flats in southern Spain.
“This is the power of tsunamis,” head researcher Richard Freund told Reuters.
“It is just so hard to understand that it can wipe out 60 miles inland, and that’s pretty much what we’re talking about,” said Freund, a professor at the University of Hartford who led an international team searching for the true site of Atlantis.
To solve the age-old mystery, the team analyzed satellite imagery of a suspected submerged city just north of Cadiz, Spain. There, buried in the vast marshlands of the Dona Ana Park, they believe that they pinpointed the ancient, multiringed dominion known as Atlantis.
How has this only now just happened and when will we get a mass producton of these? I will put a down payment on one of these bad boys right now!

It’s a car that would make any man proud, including Batman.
An aspiring racing driver and Batman fanatic has created the world’s first road-legal jet turbine powered Batmobile – which can reach speeds of 180mph.
Casey Putsch spent five months painstakingly piecing together the amazing replica car using everything from aerospace materials to polycarbonate.
But his favourite feature on the incredible bat car is a military spec turbine engine used in a drone helicopter by the Navy to drop torpedoes on enemy submarines.
Wow, someone just stumbled upon this image of a UFO over Cape Town, Africa using Google Earth! What else haven’t we found out there, maybe monsters in the oceans?
I know what I’m doing this evening.

It isn’t clear what the object is or if it is a genuine image, further analysis suggests a second UFO may be present in the upper left however it isn’t as clear. Has Google caught something unexplained with its cameras or is there a more down to earth explanation ?
In Victorian times, people were terrified of being buried alive. Elaborate devices were designed (and sold) to help alert people if a soul was unfortunate enough to wake up buried in their coffin. Fortunately, medical technology has advanced so that we we have a number of ways to detect life. The days of someone being accidentally buried alive are behind us… or are they?
In Eastern Cape, South Africa, a man woke up to find himself on the cold, steel of an examining table. His family took him to the private mortuary when they could not wake him on a Saturday and presumed him dead. He had been there for 24 hours when he frightened the attendants, asking to be let out of the chilly room.
The gentleman was taken to hospital and did not need further treatment. The South African medical community urges families to consult with a doctor before presuming that someone is dead.
Is it you, Nessy? A possible hump and part of a tail, or perhaps a spike on the creature's back, can be seen breaking the surface of the water near Fort Augustus, Scotland
It seems like after a rash of recent Bigfoot sightings and videos, now we are seeing a deluge of sea monster stories, photos and videos. Here’s the latest story from a man who claims to have spent his life searching for Nessie, and he now believes he has finally caught her on film.
At first glance it looks like another dark ripple on the water.
But study the photograph more closely and a dark hump and tail can be seen poking through the water’s surface, or so a life-long hunter of the Loch Ness monster hunter claims.
William Jobes, 62, believes that he may have at last captured the elusive creature on camera after 45 years of trying.
Mr Jobes was walking along the Abbey footpath in Fort Augustus with his wife Joan in May this year when he spotted what appeared to be a head bobbing above the water 200 to 300 yards from the shore.
Misty morning: Loch Ness monster hunter William Jobes, 62, is certain that the black mark 200 - 300 yards from the shore is the body of the elusive creature
‘I had a wonderful shock,’ Mr Jobes said.’I have actually been coming up to Inverness for the past 45 years and I have never seen anything like this before.’
Quickly grasping his camera, Mr Jobes from Irvine in Ayrshire, managed to take a single picture before the ‘head’ disappeared under the surface.
However, to his delight a dark, hump-like shape broke the waves and he was able to take more photographs of the apparent sighting on May 24 at just after 11.10am.
Mr Jobes is convinced it was not a seal or piece of wood.
‘To be honest I know the difference between a piece of wood or a particular animal,’ he said.
‘I immediately did think it was a seal but it’s head was like a sheep.’
However, veteran Nessie hunter Steve Feltham, remains sceptical, although he admits the hump photograph cannot be immediately explained and is worth further investigation.
‘The river comes out there and something large could have come down the river and flowed out there,’ he suggested.
Mr Jobes’ is the second potential sighting of nessie so far this summer.
Last month Foyers shop and cafe owner Jan Hargreaves and her husband Simon believe they caught a glimpse of the creature.
Now, I would NOT want to find this thing alive in the ocean, it’s scary enough being dead and looking like this! Any guesses to what it could be? Read on for some theories.

A couple were left shocked when they discovered the rotting body of a sea monster while walking along a beach.
Margaret and Nick Flippence made the incredible find as they exercised their dogs at Bridge of Don, Aberdeen.
Mr Flippence, 59, who lives nearby, said: ‘We were stunned. I thought, “oh my God what is it?”
‘It’s like nothing we have ever seen, it almost looks pre-historic,’ he told the Sun.
Curled up by the foot of sand dunes was the 30ft-long body of the unidentified animal with head, tail and teeth all discernible.
