Length:

63 minutes

Released:

Format:

Podcast episode

Description

Not to be confused with the other Leatherface, but at least not a variation of Chain Massacre Saw Texas. This is a prequel, but not tied to the other previous prequels except maybe? I'm beginning to think maybe this series needs to go to space, New York, or Dinosaur Island.

Released:

Jan 18, 2023

Format:

Podcast episode

Titles in the series (75)

Tom and Pat take on the longest running film series in horror history. Multiple houses, all over the country, all tied back to a central premise - franchises are easy cash. Guaranteed the episodes are shorter than watching them all yourself!

02 - Amityville II: The Possession (1982): In a follow up that sets the bar high for all of the sequels to follow, things get crazy then straight up unhinged. While billed as a sequel, it also serves as a prequel, but in ways that negate the concept of continuity. Before the film, Tom and Pat... by The Amityville Podcast

21 - Amityville: Evil Never Dies AKA Amityville Clownhouse (6/1/2017): A sequel to Toybox, which we hadn't thought left questions unanswered. Still, this far into the line we aren't really worried about continuity and closure, so let's see what happens. Before the film we talk about unnecessary sequels, Monkey Shines, a... by The Amityville Podcast

05 - The Amityville Curse (5/7/1990): The first of the series to not show the original house in any way, also the first to go straight to video.

08 - Amityville Dollhouse (10/2/1996): The last of the original run of Amityville movies, and the Republic Pictures trilogy. The last big hill for the rollercoaster ahead.

01 - The Amityville Horror (1979): The first stop on our repeated trip to 112 Ocean Avenue is the original movie that sort of interpreted a book loosely based on some conflicting accounts and launched a legendarily long film franchise!

19 - The Unspoken AKA ”El Origen del Terror en Amityville” (10/28/16): This one had an Amityville name on one of its international releases. So we had to give it a go.

09 - The Amityville Horror (4/14/2005): While not the last theatrical Amityville, it was certainly the last wide release high profile one.

22 - Against the Night AKA Amityville Prison (9/15/2017): Once again a film was retitled in some releases, so we have to lock ourselves up with another independent production. Before the film we discuss "Oh him!" and "Hey that guy!" actors. by The Amityville Podcast
70 min listen
18 - Amityville: No Escape (8/5/2016): Another found footage movie, but split between two footage "sources" to make sure they hit feature running time. Will it all add up as a story? If not, it at least takes up an afternoon for us. Before the film we dive into run times, franchise contin... by The Amityville Podcast

15 - Amityville: Vanishing Point (4/1/2016): This week we watch the incredibly elusive Vanishing Point. It took us months of trying every possible way of watching it, and 4th time was the charm.

11 - The Amityville Asylum (6/3/2013): We try and keep the episodes shorter than the movies. Sometimes it's easier than other times. Because this one was a UK production we discuss franchises that relocated either their setting or their production along the way. Not so much in a globe tro... by The Amityville Podcast

17 - The Amityville Terror (8/2/2016): Now we dive into another Amityville -new synonym- with no idea what to expect, save for ideally people being terrified. Down the road the titles and posters warn us of vampires, ghosts, sharks, and toys of the all-ages and adult variety. This time we... by The Amityville Podcast

13 - Sickle AKA Amityville: The Final Chapter (03/28/2015): It's an Amityville movie in name only, and even then only on some releases. But why would we do this if not to punish ourselves? Oh, it's also not the actual final chapter, but we do discuss other falsely claimed finales. For those traveling for Than... by The Amityville Podcast

14 - Amityville Playhouse AKA Amityville Theater (4/13/2015): An international production! Not that the budget would indicate it.

10 - The Amityville Haunting (12/13/2011): This entry begins the era of the micro-budget open source anyone can make one Amityville films.

32 - The Amityville Cult (8/27/2021): This week we dive into the band that gave us such classics as Possessed Fire Woman and She Sells Sanctuary on Ocean Ave. Not to be confused with The Amityville Church, The Amityville Cure, or Amityville Clash, purely because of name like the whole Pu... by The Amityville Podcast
66 min listen
20 - Amityville Exorcism (1/3/2017): The return of the microbudget crew that gave us the one with the spider lady! Will it be connected? Will it be even better? Don't get your hopes up. Before the movie we touch briefly on other possession movies before a bit of a spiral. by The Amityville Podcast
66 min listen
31 - The Amityville Vampire (5/24/2021): A bit of a long episode, longer than the movie. We're starting to break. I can feel it. Tired. Angry. Resentful. But the end (for now) is in sight. We can do this. by The Amityville Podcast
99 min listen
29 - The Amityville Harvest (10/8/20): Is it a cult? Children of the Corn? Something else? We went into this one pretty blind, not a lot of info available when we recorded this episode. And now so can you! This plus other bonus topics as we distract ourselves like usual. by The Amityville Podcast

41 - Amityville Christmas Vacation (9/19/2022): A shorter movie than usual, and a shorter episode to go with it. Beforehand we discuss Christmas in horror films, as well as some other violent holiday films that aren't technically horror but have a much higher body count. by The Amityville Podcast

27 - The Amityville Vibrator (6/6/2020): Content warning. The title may be a hint. We underestimated and overestimated what we were in for. They go for it, and we're in for it. But the discussion is frank if that's a concern. by The Amityville Podcast
58 min listen
26 - Amityville Island (3/17/2020): The return of our podcast, AND the of Mark Polonia, who is never short on ideas! This was one we'd been excited about back at the beginning for a few reasons.

This Guy? "Dreaming Of You" By Lisa Kleypas [Whoa-llab w/ Shelf Love]: This week, yr grls at long last encounter Derek Craven in "DREAMING OF YOU" by Miss Massachu herself LISA KLEYPAS. It is time for Morgan and Isabeau from Whoa!mance to wade into this collaboration with Shelf Love. You probably already know this - but Sarah is a regency country mouse who is secretly a best-selling novelist. Facing the dreaded sophomore slump, she seeks out a real Gambling Hell to research her next novel and instead finds Derek Craven. Derek's a gutter baby cum Cockney made good by establishing the most luxurious gambling den in London. But, it turns out, his personal tastes skew a bit more bucolic if you catch our drift (they fall in love!). What makes a character captivating and why doesn't Derek Craven have any of it? Is the sentimental version of the Culture Wars any more forgivable? It's 10 p.m. - is your child a Perry?
