Does the 'Amityville' House Have a New Tenant?
If you've ever wanted to see the inside of the famous house that inspired The Amityville Horror, you could soon get that chance. The house went on the market recently (as we reported here), and one group has already stepped forward and expressed an interest in leasing it. Find out who after the jump.
Newsday is reporting that PETA wants to stage an exhibition about "the real-life horrors inflicted on animals at factory farms and slaughterhouses," titled "The Amityville Slaughterhouse of Horrors."
The vice president of the animal rights group, Tracy Reiman, has told the owner that "Not only would hosting PETA's exhibit attract more potential buyers to the house, it would also let visitors know that every vegan saves more than 100 animals a year."
"The show," Newsday says, "would feature instruments used in raising and killing animals for meat, milk and eggs, including wire battery cages, branding irons and electrified prods. Attendees would have the chance to be put inside a metal-and-concrete pig gestation crate..."
But the part that freaks out even a seasoned horror fan like myself is this: "Each child would be given a 'crazed and knife-wielding Ronald McDonald doll.'" Yikes!
