Amityville 3D (also known as Amityville III: The Demon) is the third film in The Amityville Horror movie saga, released in 3D in 1983. This was the first Amityville film to not be based on or inspired by the so-called "true story" of the original book and movie. The is the first and only film in the series to receive a PG rating from the MPAA.

MGM's DVD box set of the Amityville films claims that this installment is not a sequel, however there are references to the original story. This means that, while Amityville 3-D is a sequel in name, with a storyline revolving around the supposedly true stories of the DeFeo and Lutz families, this film's story was entirely fictional, unlike The Amityville Horror and Amityville II: The Possession.

This film was one of a spate of 3-D films released in the early 80s, including Jaws 3-D, Treasure of the four crowns, Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn , Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone and Friday the 13th Part 3.
