I've gotta note about Aaron Eisenberg. He REALLY loved his role on DS9 as Nog, the first Ferengi to become a Starfleet officer. After he passed, the show Star Trek: Discovery had a new ship show up. The Eisenberg class. In the video game Star Trek Online, they do winter holiday event every year where they give away a free ship to the players for basically just logging in. In 2021 it was the Eisenberg class. His character of Nog is still in the game, in various missions, and if you visit Deep Space Nine in the game, Nog is always there at Quarks, talking to Odo. Another character from DS9, played by the also passed Rene Auberjonois. Just to let folks know Aaron is VERY fondly remembered by all of us Star Trek geeks. May his memory always be a blessing.
@@DarkShines86 I love it, been playing for years. It's episodes are very good at making you feel like you're playing through episodes of the shows. It's free to play. I would say it's not pay to win, but it is pay to "space barbie". So long as you know how to build your ship and what abilities to equip, you can easily complete every mission and be good in co-op missions without ever spending a dime. If you want a specific ship from a show, a specific uniform for your captain from a show, then yeah you will need to spend some money, or grind for ages to make enough to trade for it in-game. At the very least I think every Trek fan who games should give it a try. If you love DS9, I'd absolutely say to play until you complete the "Gamma Quadrant Arc" which was basically a giant love letter to DS9. They got a lot of the cast to return to voice their characters. It's a little bittersweet now knowing that it's the last time Aaron and Rene got to play the characters, but damn did they get a good send-off. and sidenote since I'm aware this could sound like an ad. I'm in no way affiliated with the game or anyone involved in it. Just a geek who hopes more folks will enjoy stuff I enjoy.
@@CantankerousDave pretty sure he covered this show a few months back? I could be mistaken. My only memory of the show was an intro where the entire cast died in an accident involving a piece of the set falling on them.
Every Amityville should have the Treehouse of Horror scene where the main protagonist calls the realtor to complain vociferously that they didn't mention the house was built on an ancient Indian burial ground only to concede that the realtor did, in fact, mention it five or six times.
Amityville: The Gentrification Where some transplant hipsters buy the house for double its value, then it goes "underwater". Oh and there's a demon too And if the Lutz family still has some kind of ownership of the franchise rights, their made up story really worked out for them. 50+ entries in the franchise, that has to be a record. I'm willing to bet there is an Amityville: Bloodlines in there, they love using that subtitle. Edit: I did some "research" and since Amityville is a real place, the house is real and the events are historical public record, regardless of the specifics were true or not, there is no proprietary ownership of the story. That's why there are so many remakes, anyone can make an Amityville movie
Pepper the cat got possessed and then went on to have a successful career of being spooky. She would later be adopted by a cult where she and the demon were loved and cared for because she deserves it 😤
It was a special time in history when it seemed there would be a new Amityville film on the shelves of the video shop every 6 months. I have a soft spot for these direct to video sequels especially About time and Dollhouse
Red Letter Media said that anybody can use the word "Amityville" in the title of their movie, since it's just the name of a place. So most of these aren't related to the original.
There are more Amityville films than I can count, but the one thing that this film has is being the only Amityville film to be the subject of a RiffTrax Live show. That film was perfect for RiffTrax's humor and you did a great job with the jokes as well, Cecil.
There was something about those 60s-90s made for TV horror movies. They seemed to be pretty frequent, and they were fun. This really wasn't a bad one. Enjoyed it.
Yeah, I seem to recall seeing this one and finding it entertaining, at least. A bit off topic, but if you want a good made-for-tv horror movie, "Dark Night of the Scarecrow" is a great one.
I remember seeing part of one of the later Amityville movies that was basically just softcore porn. I was never so glad to have stopped at the initial movie. But bravo gbf, on covering this. Nice Christmas Story joke, too. Always great.
So many good references and jokes, I have seen this one maybe once or twice and forgotten about it because of everything that has "AMITTYVILLE" attached. Well done again!
I saw this one before the original Amityville Horror as a kid. The bird in the toaster and the garbage disposal scene have always stayed with me. Not in a nightmare way but always a little leery of those old toaster ovens and garbage disposals...especially in houses with creepy lamps. And no that wasn't a joke...
Thank you for this video. I hated this as a kid, and was freaked out by that ugly lamp. I'm getting closer to 40 now and I appreciate the little things more than ever. Thanks for highlighting them.
I was watching this in the GBF discord, and that ending had me rolling. I wasn’t sure if it was one of the stupidest or one of the greatest endings I’ve ever seen, but it sure made it all worth it 🤣
Grannie's just mad that Amanda's blouse doesn't go to her knees, but I agree with her on the hair. That's some freaking terrible hair. It's a fire risk to the neighborhood!
lol I lost it at the Homer Simpson voice clip! afaik, the "real" series of films is just the first eight up to Amityville Dollhouse (and the remake). I think the flood of films that came afterward were the result of a court decision that, since Amityville is an actual place, the owners of the AH franchise can't prevent other films from using "Amityville" in their title, nor do they own the basic house design.
and i thought there were too many Amityville sequels back in the 90s! i had no idea those monsters went to the lengths they have gone to to stretch the name- crazy! but i remember this one as being good and that scratch from the lamp i remember vividly
@@GoodBadFlicks I didn't even know! Amazing. Keep up the great work man, I've watched everything you recommended on those lesser known horror films from the nineties. Are you Canadian by any chance?
Wow, never even heard of this one. I would have thought you made it up for your channel lol. Great to see Nog though - really bummed when he passed. Great video as always!
I can’t believe Shark House, Karen and Death Toilet legit Amittyville movie. It’s only a matter of time before we get Amittyville In Space. Maybe they should launch a merchandise line like Spaceballs. I’d love to have an Amittyville the T-shirt shirt.
I didn't even know that this existed until I saw it for Rifftrax live. Not the worst ever but definitely made for a good riff. I'm also happy the kitty lived
Christ, with all these actors and actresses featured in this movie passing away recently, you'd think that this movie was cursed. It's just a _really_ slow curse.

He was also in house 3 aka the horror show
Whenever I think about that Family Guy joke about Stephen King writing a book about a killer lamp, I point to this movie. 😂😂😂😂
I think of Rubber, myself, but you are spot on!
Same here.
So do I. Maybe MacFarlane saw this one and decided to riff on it.
A sketch comedy show called The Edge did it long before then, except it was a demonic toaster.
@@CantankerousDave pretty sure he covered this show a few months back? I could be mistaken. My only memory of the show was an intro where the entire cast died in an accident involving a piece of the set falling on them.
Legend says the plumber's van is still off driving itself to this day
It drove to LA, married The Car and then they had a baby car they named Christine
Holy crap, it must get amazing gas mileage!
@@fisheyenomiko Demon power is a hell of a fuel source.
@@homelesshannah50 Then Christine moved to Japan and had a 50-episode will-they-or-won't-they? with Truck-kun.

"Evil Lamp, Ned! Ninety dollars!"
"Well, I suppose you could decorate all kinds of things with this-"
"No! Just an Evil Lamp! Ninety dollars!"
Amityville: The Real Estate Agent
Amityville: The Plumbing Bill

Where some transplant hipsters buy the house for double its value, then it goes "underwater". Oh and there's a demon too

Ok,laser kitty pew pew pew was fricking adorable
"Ok movie I don't care what you do with the bird but don't hurt the cat" we are on the same page Cecil
Plumbers don't wear ties. 😂 😂
I can't get past the clean, fully intact hand that went through the garbage disposal.
Still had his class ring attached too lmao
I always call this one "The Amityville Lamp Murders"
This was a very fun Rifftrax Live a few years back, my wife only barely fell asleep during it. For her, that's practically a standing ovation.
Bro, been subscribed for years and was tickled pink to hear a joke about my home town Flint. Never stop.
It was a special time in history when it seemed there would be a new Amityville film on the shelves of the video shop every 6 months. I have a soft spot for these direct to video sequels especially About time and Dollhouse
I freaking love and adore old bad movies like these. They’re just truly magical.
6:29 Man, what a house. Comes with it's own chocolate faucet. That's fancy!
The amount of Amityville movies is disgusting. People say that there are too many Fast and Furious movies have clearly never looked this series up.
Exactly, Amityville has more movie entries than the entire MCU.
Red Letter Media said that anybody can use the word "Amityville" in the title of their movie, since it's just the name of a place. So most of these aren't related to the original.
Yeh, one does not exclude the other. There are still too many fast and the furious movies. In fact there are 9 too many Fast and the Furious movies.
Pinocchio has had too many film adaptations, but I also beg to differ with other IPs too.
11:56 I know her from Night of the Demons part 2. Man, I can't believe she passed away! 😢💔💔
Yeah I remember having a super crush on her as a kid watching Night Terrors 1&2.
There are more Amityville films than I can count, but the one thing that this film has is being the only Amityville film to be the subject of a RiffTrax Live show. That film was perfect for RiffTrax's humor and you did a great job with the jokes as well, Cecil.
This movie was one of my favorite RIfftrax shows!
@@xservox I agree. The film was a great match for the RiffTrax guys.
So I assume the cat became an evil demon-possessed cat. And of course no one noticed any change whatsoever, because cat.
It’s probably the best way to keep Amityville demon in check.
The cat later boarded a boat with George Kennedy.
Super Demon Kitty would be a good name for a band
Oh snap that was Nog? Loved him on DS9, honestly thought him and Jake would be terrible but damnit if they didn’t win me over.
I didn't recognize who it was until he said the actor's name.
Absolutely loved the ever changing name of the priest! 😂
"Father Kibbles 'N Bits" LOL!
Me too, though I feel there was a missed opportunity to call him "Father Kibby Dibbler."
There was something about those 60s-90s made for TV horror movies. They seemed to be pretty frequent, and they were fun. This really wasn't a bad one. Enjoyed it.
Yeah, I seem to recall seeing this one and finding it entertaining, at least.
A bit off topic, but if you want a good made-for-tv horror movie, "Dark Night of the Scarecrow" is a great one.
@@fisheyenomiko Can't argue with that. DNotS is a fun movie too.
Got your “Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties” reference. Well done!
I feel like a qualified electrician could have resolved this entire problem.
Edit: _NOT_ the electrician's son!
Bill Towner.
Electrician and Adventurer.
YES!!!! Love to see the Amityville series get some recognition (the real ones, not those in name only movies that keep popping up)
I remember seeing part of one of the later Amityville movies that was basically just softcore porn. I was never so glad to have stopped at the initial movie. But bravo gbf, on covering this. Nice Christmas Story joke, too. Always great.
I do love me some Amityville 1992, looking forward to that one!
I remember enjoying that one.
Saw this last week on Tubi, best part is how serious everyone plays it lol
I love lamp!
So many good references and jokes, I have seen this one maybe once or twice and forgotten about it because of everything that has "AMITTYVILLE" attached. Well done again!
There ya go, Cecil, you can do the Amityville series. That should take about a year. There's like 100 of them.
Dude, you went all out with the references in this one. 🤘
I saw this one before the original Amityville Horror as a kid. The bird in the toaster and the garbage disposal scene have always stayed with me. Not in a nightmare way but always a little leery of those old toaster ovens and garbage disposals...especially in houses with creepy lamps.
And no that wasn't a joke...
Thank you Cecil for taking on such a timeless classic such as this. We know it needed a review.
Thank you for this video. I hated this as a kid, and was freaked out by that ugly lamp. I'm getting closer to 40 now and I appreciate the little things more than ever. Thanks for highlighting them.
I was watching this in the GBF discord, and that ending had me rolling. I wasn’t sure if it was one of the stupidest or one of the greatest endings I’ve ever seen, but it sure made it all worth it 🤣
My mother-in-law grew up in the actual house that was used in this movie. She still refers to the "plummer in the basement" 😂
Grannie's just mad that Amanda's blouse doesn't go to her knees, but I agree with her on the hair. That's some freaking terrible hair. It's a fire risk to the neighborhood!
It was the late 80s, man. Things were weird.
Are you sure the budget wasn’t “tree fiddy!”?
only the one with the loch ness monster was.
After you mentioned it, I was expecting that jumpscare... and I still jumped... thanks...
Same. 😂
Okay. New fear unlocked. Dying with "Derp Face"
thoroughly entertaining, thank you sir!
Thanks for watching!
Funny seeing Jane Wyatt in the roles as the judgemental mother/grandmother after watching her as the perfect all American mother on Father Knows Best
But damn Granny is GANGSTA the way she chucked the lamp out that window. Nobody's messing with her years of patchwork quilting and her perfect garden!
For God's sake, call a plumber!😂
Haha your jokes were fantastic. I was wishing you would put the car jump scare and when it popped up I laughed.
I wish you a successful 2024 with your channel. I know you said it was rough last year. Just remember, damn the RUclips algorithm.
Thank you Cecil for all the content. God bless you my friend 😊
Thank you! You too :)

possessed items for sale...now they're repossessed !!
I wonder if the Warren's went to the sale.
Wop, wop, wop, waaaaaah
I actually really like the one with the clock.
Great video Cecil!

Love your little innuendo sprinkles.
👍🏻. Looking forward to the deep dive into “There’s nothing out there”.
I remember watching this one, tons of fun. I’d say 2 and It’s about time we’re my favourites. Awakening was alright too.
I like how the scene behind the Jane Wyatt title card looks like the poster (or cover) to the movie.

Amityville in Space sadly exists, and had a budget of ten whole dollars
You really DO know your audience, man. Jokes on point this vid.

Love this movie.
A entertaining. funny & interesting new review, Cecil. of the first Amityville horror film. I watched, which I still like. along with the 1992 one. :)
I loved this, got the set from Vinegar Syndrome and it’s just a lot of fun.
Can’t wait to see your other reviews
Great episode!
The puns and dad jokes were thick and fast in this one 😂
This channel is so excellent.
Thanks! 😃
One of those random movies i watched as a toddler that gave me a irrational fear for a short time haha. Imagine my parents joy as their kid would freak out at any unshaded lamp.
I remember liking this film a lot when I was fifteen in 1989. I don't think I've seen it _since_ 1989. I think it's time to check it out again!
Took me weeks to find the dead plumber in our basement!
Excellent as always.
50 of these movies? G'damn. I'm glad I'm not buying all of those on physical media
I burst out laughing at Helen's death.

when I was a kid in the

we went on a road trip
and stayed at a house
near the

and at night the owners
lit up those iconic windows
with red lamps
Spooky!

There's no more tragedy attached to this movie than Citizen Cane. Time takes everyone.
Saw this when I was 12 and legit have been spooked by garbage disposals ever since.
I think I saw this one. I also thought the top gun music was starting during the last rites scene.
Weird that we know so little about Zoe Trilling's life and cause of death. Someone back in 2021 posted on a "where are they now" website claiming she was roaming the streets of Cali... sad way to go if true 😥
Thanks for the warning; it spared me a heart attack.
I had no idea Megan Ward was in a Amityville movie until you showed that pic of her at the end. I wrote her a fan letter after seeing her in what I believe was 'Crash and Burn', if I remember right.
What a fox.
5:25 That kid is a good lesson in Lock Out Tag Out.
Phelous's review of this movie is great!
The high school kid's entire hand (even the class ring) falling on the plumber was the best. I had so many questions; just why?!
I saw this the first time late at night on a local channel. I was probably 10. The demon face in the lamp creeped me out haha
Patty Duke is excellent as Nancy Evans.😀👍
Love the Grandmother the real hero
Linkara's favorite movie (probably)
