In this special Halloween edition minisode, host Anne Marie Cannon continues her conversation with documentary filmmaker Eric Walter, diving into the making of his award-winning film My Amityville Horror.
In the documentary, Daniel Lutz recounts his own chilling version of the infamous Amityville haunting that terrified his family in 1975—an experience that would inspire a best-selling novel and a long-running series of films. Together, Anne Marie and Eric discuss the blurred lines between truth, trauma, and the paranormal, and what it means to live inside a story that the world refuses to let die.
My Amityville Horror combines years of Walter’s independent research with eyewitness accounts and investigative reporting, revealing the most intimate and psychological portrait of the case to date.
This episode follows Part 1, Episode 23, Dark Side of the Mountain, in our Halloween series—two eerie tales that remind us history can be every bit as haunting as fiction.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
