Based on Jay Anson’s 1977 bestselling novel, “The Amityville Horror” was a supernatural horror movie that was released in cinemas in 1979. It starred James Brolin and Margot Kidder. 

The film is about a family who moves into a home in Amityville, New York, where a series of murders had been committed a year earlier. While there, they experience all sorts of supernatural freakiness. The film, though not a critical success, turned out to be a huge financial success.

Posted below is the original Press Kit for the film. What is a Press Kit you ask? I answer using my friend “The Wiki.”

“A press kit, often referred to as a media kit in business environments, is a pre-packaged set of promotional materials of a person, company, or organization distributed to members of the media for promotional use. They are often distributed to announce a release or for a news conference.”
