The Amityville Horror

The Amityville Horror is based on a real story, but it wasn't filmed on location at the real house. If you want to visit the real site where the murders took place, head to 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York. The 1979 movie was filmed at a real home in Toms River, New Jersey, but filmmakers had to convert it to look like the real deal after authorities refused to grant permission for filming on location in Amityville.
