The Amityville Horror is a series of horror films that center around events in a haunted house in Amityville, New York.
Bloodbath at the House of Death was a 1984 British film which was largely a spoof of the 1979 film of The Amityville Horror. The Simpsons did a parody of The Amityville Horror in their Treehouse of Horror segments, in which they buy a house for cheap that had a family murder and was built on an ancient Indian Burial Ground. The family walks around with sharp objects, moaning about killing one another, in which Marge Simpson comes out and tells them to stop, to which they all quickly agree. The voice from no-where tells them to "Get Out!" and talks to them also deep in conversation. Blood Oozes from the walls, in which Marge just does her groan, and has Homer Simpson put up wallpaper over a portal to another world after he throws an object into the portal and he receives a crudely written message saying "Quit throwing stuff into our demension!" and in exterior shots of the house, it does not resemble a Dutch Colonial but has two quarter-moon windows with a chimney in between. At the end, the family steps outside to let the house think if it wants them to live in it, but ends up destroying itself instead, in which Lisa Simpson says: "An evil house decides to destroy itself rather than live with the Simpsons, you can't help but feel a little bit rejected."
None of the films are direct sequels to each other, and parts I, II and IV are the only films based on books from the Amityville book series. Amityville II is a prequel to the original 1979 film, which tells the story of the DeFeo family's mass murder (though they are named the Montelli family in the film).
