Who knew Amityville II: The Possession was scarier than the original! This 1982 horror flick was based off of the novel, Murder in Amityville, and loosely based on the DeFeo mass murder that took place there prior to the events that transpired in The Amityville Horror (1979). One more thing - it ACTUALLY gave me nightmares, which is more of a shock to me than it probably is to you...let's get into it.
