Splatter Chatter

Can you believe we've never actually covered an Amityville property? In part 1, we go into the actual horror: Ronnie DeFeo Jr's sextuple homocide of his family and the subsequent legal story.

Pass the pumpkin pie and pour a shot of coconut liqueur because it’s time to talk BLOOD RAGE, the curious and kooky low-budget 80’s slasher full of evil twins, bloody machetes, and tons of crimson carnage. If you wanted a quiet Thanksgiving at Shadow Woods Apartments, we apologize -- because that’s not cranberry sauce!

Take your hypnocil and beg for mommy, Chatterers -- it’s time for the ultimate fright fight where the winner kills all. That’s right, it’s time to chat FREDDY VS. JASON in honor of the spookiest Friday the 13th possible. Place your bets.

Pretty, pretty please, don’t you ever, ever feel…like you have to suffer through THEY/THEM alone.
