The Amityville Curse is a prequel to The Amityville Horror written by Hans Holzer and released in 1981. Two film adaptations also titled The Amityville Curse were both released direct-to-video in 1990 and 2023, respectively. The plot is entirely fictional, detailing how the house at 112 Ocean Ave. was once a rectory where one of the priests died, and the house subsequently becoming haunted. The book was given mixed reviews. It confused readers with why the house was haunted. This was because Holzer's 1979 book Murder in Amityville tells a different story on why the house is haunted. A first film adaptation loosely based on the book, The Amityville Curse, was released direct-to-video in 1990. The second film adaptation also loosely based on the book, not a remake to the 1990 film.
