Hey there, it's Robin from PRX, and I'm so excited to tell you about Radiotopia's newest show, Amityvilleville.

Alex Goldman, host of Hyperfixed and former host of Reply All, teams up with his close friend,

journalist and supernatural phenomena enthusiast Carolyn Thompson, to review all 91 movies in the Amityville franchise.

Inspired by the true story of the Defeo murders in 1974, the Amityville horror became the

second highest grossing movie when it came out in 1979, inspiring books, documentaries,

and of course, a sprawling and bizarre film franchise.

Along the way, some enterprising filmmakers realized you can't copyright the name

Amityville, which has led to a total of 91 movies in the franchise, including titles like

Amityville Elevator, Amityville Outhouse, Amityville Job Interview, even Amityville in Space.

And yes, these are all real movies.

The show will feature recaps of all 91 movies in the order they were released, and there

will also be special one-off episodes featuring interviews with the people involved in making

of the films, or even in the investigation of the alleged haunting at 112 Ocean Avenue

in Amityville, New York.

The show we have cinema, pop culture, true crime,

the ghost hunter industrial complex,

and a couple of horror fans chopping it up.

Don't miss it.

Hello and welcome to normal gossip.

I'm your host, Rachel Hampton.

And in each episode of this podcast,
