THE AMITYVILLE HAUNTING

Danny Lutz, or Billy Lutz as he is known in the movie, is a nonfiction character. However, many traits were changed in the making of the movie. In the film, Danny is called "Billy" and is twelve years old. However, Danny Lutz was ten years old when he and his family moved in to the original Amityville House. However, the experiences portrayed in the film line up well with the original hauntings, despite not opening up very much about his real experiences.
