The unofficial Amityville Horror movies just keep getting weirder, with recent films including Amityville in Space, Amityville Thanksgiving, and Amityville Christmas Vacation. Essentially, indie filmmakers are having a blast poking fun at the franchise with these wildly unofficial installments, using the name brand recognition to draw attention to their efforts.
Up next? Amityville Backpack!
The horror goes portable in this upcoming tale of a haunted, killer backpack, which has just been funded through Indiegogo. Evan Jacobs (Death Toilet) is directing the film.
The filmmaker previews, “The plot follows a rather hapless dude who buys a backpack at a garage sale. When people around him turn up dead, he comes to believe his new accessory may be to blame. Tracking its history, he discovers it has connections back to a haunted house in a small town called Amityville…”
Amityville Backpack will be distributed by SRS Cinema, and you still have time to snatch up perks including physical media copies, producer credits, and even on-screen roles.
As for the official Amityville Horror franchise, if there even is one at this point, we haven’t seen a new installment since Amityville: The Awakening was unleashed back in 2017. It was only a matter of time before fans realized they could slap the “Amityville” branding on any project they want to, which explains the recent glut of in-name-only horror movies.
