The first Amityville film is a fictionalized account of what George and Kathy Lutz claim happened to them during their one-month stay in a haunted house in Amityville, NY. Jack Witzig thought it began creepy but got increasingly ridiculous as it progressed, and Daniel thought it was derivitive, but still good.

The second Amityville movie is a fictionalized prequel that details what happened to the family that lived in the house immediately before the Lutzes of The Amityville Horror, as a demonic force attempts to get the family's oldest child to murder his relatives. Jack Witzig considers Amityville II exploitative and an almost complete failure as a movie, while Daniel says it would have done better had it kept more to the real-life DeFeo murders.

The first entirely fictional Amityville film is about a writer who inhabits the house and quickly discovers that his disbelief in the unseen world may not be conducive to his health. Both Scarecrow and Jack Witzig thought the film had something to offer in terms of fright, though neither would consider it a classic.

The horror from Ocean Avenue in Amityville travels to California with the aid of a possessed lamp. R. Insom felt the movie was "extremely incomplete," though Scarecrow termed it "average entertainment but not for someone looking for plenty of scares." And if Jack Witzig had to use one word to describe this TV-movie, that word would be "boring."

Another house in Amityville is possessed by an evil force that makes being there hazardous for a group of friends intent on renovating the property. Jack Witzig felt the acting wasn't bad, but that the plot was unoriginal and dealt with poorly.

This spinoff of Amityville II: The Possession (which takes great liberties with the chronology of that movie), the force that made a man murder his family years before in Amityville finds a new group of victims via a possessed mirror. Jack Witzig felt that Generation made a good decision in turning to modern horror as opposed to the series's usual reliance on haunted house customs, though he found the film as a whole to be only "not too bad." Scarecrow had no such misgivings, calling the movie "well worth your time to watch."

A toy house that resembles the site of the horror in Amityville contains an evil force that exploits a family's personal demons. Jack Witzig called it "a bunch of clichés and underrealized plot points."
