Summary:

Rosemary Woodhouse, a young woman with a failing actor husband, has recently moved into the Bramford, a historic Gothic Revival-style New York City apartment building. Guy has only had minor roles in theatrical productions such as Luther and Nobody Loves an Albatross, as well as a few TV advertisements. The couple is informed that Bramford has a shady past of witchcraft and murder, but they dismiss this. Guy wants to wait until his job is more established before starting a family, whereas Rosemary wants to start one right now.

Neighbors Rosemary and Guy are welcomed to the Bramford by Minnie and Roman Castevet, an eccentric old couple. Rosemary considers them intrusive and irritating, but Guy continues to pay them frequent visits.

Guy gets cast in the lead part in a new theatrical play when the lead actor falls blind. Guy surprisingly agrees with Rosemary that they should have their first child shortly after. Rosemary has a dream that night about a tumultuous sexual experience with a gigantic, monstrous beast with yellow eyes. Rosemary discovers claw marks on her breasts and crotch the next morning, which Guy dismisses as a hangnail. Rosemary is later informed that she is expecting a child.

Rosemary becomes very ill, but her excruciating pain and rapid weight loss are dismissed by others as hysteria. Minnie and her doctor feed her weird and nasty concoctions. Rosemary gets a strange desire for raw flesh as well.

Guy's performance in the play receives positive feedback and he goes on to play more important roles. Guy quickly starts talking about a Hollywood career.

Edward "Hutch" Hutchins, Rosemary's buddy, also gets ill inexplicably. Roman Castevets, the leader of a Satanic coven, had given Rosemary a warning, which led to her discovery. She believes her unborn child is being sought as a devilish sacrifice. Despite her growing conviction, she can't persuade anyone, especially Guy. Rosemary eventually finds the coven's true motivation for desiring her baby. He is the Antichrist, and his father is Satan.

Summary:

Father Lankester Merrin, an old Jesuit priest, is organizing an archaeological dig in northern Iraq and examining ancient relics. Following the discovery of a tiny statue of the demon Pazuzu (a real ancient Assyrian demon), a succession of omens warns him of an impending encounter with a tremendous evil, which he had already faced in an exorcism in Africa, which the reader is unaware of at this time.

Meanwhile, in Georgetown, a small girl named Regan MacNeil lives with her renowned mother, actress Chris MacNeil, who is filming a movie there. As Chris completes her work on the film, Regan begins to become unwell for no apparent reason. Regan begins to rapidly undergo disturbing psychological and physical changes after a series of poltergeist-like disturbances in their rented house, for which Chris attempts to find rational explanations. She refuses to eat or sleep, becomes withdrawn and frenetic, and becomes increasingly aggressive and violent. Regan's conduct is originally misinterpreted by Chris as the consequence of buried resentment at her parents' split and her father's absence.

As Regan's behavior grows increasingly unstable, Regan's mother, an atheist, seeks aid from a local Jesuit priest after many unsuccessful psychiatric and medical therapies. Father Damien Karras, who is having a faith crisis as a result of his mother's death, agrees to see Regan as a psychiatrist, but first rejects the idea that it is a genuine demonic possession. He approaches the local bishop for permission to conduct an exorcism on the kid after a few encounters with the youngster, who is now totally possessed by a demonic entity.

The bishop he contacts believe Karras is unqualified to conduct the rituals, so he chooses Merrin, an experienced exorcist who has lately returned to the United States, to administer the exorcism, but he does allow the doubt-ridden Karras to help him. The priests are put to the test both physically and spiritually throughout the protracted exorcism.

When Merrin, who had previously suffered from cardiac arrhythmia, passes away during the procedure, Father Karras is left to finish the exorcism. The devil seizes the opportunity to possess the priest as he demands that the demonic spirit occupy him instead of the innocent Regan. Karras bravely sacrifices his own life to save Regan's by jumping out of her bedroom window and dying, rediscovering his trust in God as his final rites are read.

Summary:

The house at 112 Ocean Avenue remained unoccupied for 13 months following the DeFeo killings, according to the book, which is based on a true event. George and Kathleen Lutz purchased the house in December 1975 for $80,000, which was considered a steal at the time. The five-bedroom home featured a gambrel roof and was built in the Dutch Colonial style. Because it was on a canal, it also included a swimming pool and a boathouse. George and Kathy married in July 1975, and while they both owned a home, they wanted to start over with a new home.

Daniel, 9, Christopher, 7, and Melissa (Missy), 5, were Kathy's children from a previous marriage. They also had a dog named Harry, who was a crossbreed Malamute/Labrador mix. The real estate broker informed them of the DeFeo killings during their initial inspection and asked whether this would influence their choice. They concluded that it was not an issue after talking about it.

On December 18, 1975, the Lutz family relocated. Because it was included in the purchase for $400, much of the DeFeo family's furnishings were still in the house. After learning about the house's history, a friend of George Lutz insisted on having it sanctified. George was a non-practicing Methodist at the time, so he had no idea what this entailed. Kathy detailed the procedure as a non-practicing Catholic. Father Ray, a Catholic priest George knew, consented to do the house blessing (real-life priest Father Ralph J. Pecoraro is referred to as Father Mancuso in Anson's book for privacy reasons).

Father Mancuso was a lawyer, Catholic Court judge, and psychotherapist who lived in the Sacred Heart Rectory in the neighborhood. On the afternoon of December 18, 1975, he arrived to give the blessing as George and Kathy were unpacking their stuff and proceeded into the premises to complete the rituals. He heard a masculine voice tell him to "get out" as he flicked the first holy water and began to pray.

Father Mancuso did not tell George or Kathy about the event when he left the house. On December 24, 1975, Father Mancuso contacted George Lutz and warned him to stay away from the second-floor room where he had heard the strange voice, the old bedroom of Marc and John Matthew DeFeo, which Kathy wanted to use as a sewing room, but the connection was interrupted short due to static. Father Mancuso supposedly suffered a severe fever and stigmata-like sores on his hands after visiting the residence. At first, George and Kathy had no odd experiences at the residence. When they later spoke about their experiences, they described it as if they "were each living in a different house."

After another effort at a house blessing by George and Kathy in mid-January 1976, they spent what would turn out to be their final night at the house. The Lutzes refused to offer a detailed description of what happened on this occasion, claiming that it was "too terrifying."

After speaking with Father Mancuso, the Lutzes decided to pack their possessions and relocate to Kathy's mother's home in neighboring Deer Park, New York, until the house's issues were resolved. They said the phenomenon followed them there, with Anson's book's last scene depicting "greenish-black sludge" creeping up the stairwell towards them. George and Kathy Lutz, together with their three children and dog Harry, fled 112 Ocean Avenue on January 14, 1976, leaving everything behind. A mover arrived the next day to transport the belongings to the Lutzes. While inside the house, he experienced no paranormal activity.

After George and Kathy Lutz were introduced to Jay Anson by Tam Mossman, an editor at Prentice Hall, the book was written. The Lutzes did not work directly with Anson, but instead provided 45 hours of taped recollections to him, which served as the foundation for the book. The book's sales are estimated to be about 10 million copies across many versions. The title of The Amityville Horror is claimed to have been inspired by H. P. Lovecraft's 1929 novel "The Dunwich Horror."
