The Amityville Horror, for better or for worse, is one of the single most famous ghost stories of our lifetime, and it’s for that very reason that filmmakers keep going to the well to try and make a good movie surrounding the perplexing mythos surrounding the case.

With several new projects bearing the Amityville moniker in various states of production, it’s getting harder and harder to weed out which ones we’re most excited for.

Another new one has popped up at Cannes – Amityville: The Legacy 3D which is based upon Amityville: The Evil Escapes (which was also the title of the crappy 1989 made-for-TV movie) by John G. Jones.

Hannibal Classics is the company behind this latest project; however, adding to the mystery of the Amityville canon, it’s unclear as of yet whether or not Hannibal has secured the rights to make an Amityville film so we wouldn’t count on anyone seeing this flick anytime soon.

You can dig on the lengthy plot outline below.

Production is slated to begin in September of 2011.

Synopsis
Six priests enter an abandoned home in the middle of an intense thunderstorm. The leader of the group, FATHER MANFRED, quiets the doubting FATHER KIBBLER, the youngest priest. The priests separate and Kibbler follows the sound of laughter into the attic. Inside, flies swarm by the iconic windows of the Amityville house. The door slams shut and an unseen demon claws at Kibbler. Manfred kicks open the door and battles the demon until it consumes him in fire. The attic erupts but the demon is vanquished — contained in a weak, but still-alive Manfred.

Thirty years later we meet NANCY and MICHAEL EVANS and their daughter, AMANDA, a happy family recently touched by tragedy. Nancy’s sister, CAROLYN, committed suicide, leaving Nancy and Michael to care for her kids, BRIAN and JESSICA. The Evans family is in the process of moving from the city to live in Carolyn’s suburban home, where Nancy hopes to bond with Brian and Jessica. Michael plans to fix up the house, sell it, and move the family back to the city.

Before they settle into the home, the friction between Michael and Jessica threatens to splinter the family. Very soon after their arrival, Nancy begins to sense a palpable, evil presence. She can’t seem to sleep through the night due to mysterious and horrifying noises. Their family cat is found in the attic — dead. Slaughtered. Worse, as a family unit, they have a hard time meshing with Brian and Jessica. Michael becomes consumed with renovating the house and hires a couple of hard-partying locals, ANT and SEAN, to help him. But they are afraid to go in the attic. They know what happened in there.

As Michael’s passion turns to obsession, Nancy struggles with her very sanity. She’s coming apart at the seams, unhinged by the evil presence that only she seems to feel. She knows it will stop at nothing to get them out of the house. When she finds some letters Carolyn wrote to Father Manfred and Father Kibbler, she makes a startling discovery — Carolyn went through the same thing. Unable to track down Manfred, she locates Kibbler — but he offers her no help. He is no longer a priest and only communicated with Carolyn because Manfred no longer could. She begs him to help her find Manfred, and Kibbler finally admits the truth: Manfred is in an insane asylum.

Nancy goes to see Father Manfred and convinces him to help her vanquish the evil spirit. Michael’s erratic behavior intensifies as the hauntings escalate, culminating in a horrific attack on one of Jessica’s friends and the mysterious disappearance of a local delivery man. And it soon becomes clear that Michael is building an exact replica of the Amityville house. Nancy finally convinces Kibbler and Father Manfred to put aside their bad blood and help her fight the evil spirit and cast it from the house.

But if they think the spirit will go quietly or that they even know the source of its strength, they have another thing coming. AMITYVILLE – THE LEGACY 3D reinvigorates a classic franchise with astonishing scares, dazzling set pieces, and twists that will leave audiences shocked and hungry for more.

Ket tells Kim about the highly requested and truly terrifying Smile 2. This left Ketryn truly shooketh and gave The Substance a run for its money in grotesque-ness. It was simply a smorgasbord of gore and the first time in podcast history that Ket is the one who can’t quite say a word.
