 * Amityville 3-D - The film is loosely based on events after the 1979 film. A character named "John Baxter" is based on Stephen Kaplan who was trying to prove the Lutz story was a hoax.


 * Amityville: The Awakening - The film treats the 1979 and 2005 as fiction of sorts as it is based in a "real world" outside of the continuity of the series. Set in modern times, it does treat the actual accounts of the Lutz and the DeFeo murders as canon.
