I went for an AE copy. I've never the read the book, but the iconic status of the phenomena and the extra materials intrigued me too much to pass on what will be my first read of the book. I've of course seen the book on used bookstore shelves forever...but am curious, if anyone knows (and I never took the time to thumb through the pb and find out for myself): Is the book a standalone original telling of the tale, or essentially a movie tie-in (definitely hoping the former) -- that is, which came first: the book or the film?

I picked up the artist edition, but will pass on the rest. Like some have already said, not a well written story but put together well enough that people (to this day) believe the events really happened. Amityville is the Blair Witch of haunted houses. I look forward to studying the artwork up close and reading the introduction.  (The  is not a Canadian accent being typed, not sure why it keeps doing that...A).

On a funny side note, I was scrolling through Showtime the other night and they had the Ryan Reynolds remake of The Amityville Horror listed under the documentary section. My wife and I got a little laugh out of it.

Pass. I was never a fan of this.

The novel itself was pretty bad. The hype has given it a longevity that the text doesn't deserve.

The Poe volume is very large and beautiful, would love a matching Lovecraft volume.

Looks like a terrific production, though...if I didn't have the Good-Enough CD volume, I'd be all over this Suntup edition.

I bought it because I have Suntup's Exorcist, so I figured I might as well have both books. I know I read Legion way back when, but I remember nothing about it at this point.
