Amityville 3-D (1983)
Inside these walls, nothing is impossible... except survival.
To debunk the Amityville house's infamous reputation and take advantage of a rock-bottom asking price, skeptical journalist John Baxter buys the place and settles in to write his first novel.
In Amityville 3-D, consciousness is carried by monsters and creatures — a plane of “haunted house”. The story fights on E8 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing fear, evil, supernatural, death, possession.
