A 2013 documentary (My Amityville Horror) about Daniel Lutz, who was ten years old when his family moved in, puts a name to the Entity that haunted this house: George Lutz. George was Kathy Connors’s second husband, and he made it clear he would not invest his time and money in children who didn’t belong to him. George demanded that Kathy’s first husband surrender all parental rights; from then on, he insisted that Daniel and his two siblings call him either “sir” or “Mr. Lutz.” As Daniel said in the documentary, “He’s the biggest asshole you ever could meet.”
