The colonial-style house in Toms River, N.J., featured in the 1979 movie “The Amityville Horror,” is up for sale for $1.35 million, the Asbury Park Press reported. In the film, James Brolin and Margot Kidder play a couple who bought a haunted home in Amityville, N.Y., but the external filming took place in Toms River, rather than on Long Island. The Fragoso family bought the house in 2001, and are now selling it to move closer to other family members in New Jersey. They listed it for $1.45 million at the end of June and lowered the price to $1.35 million late last week. The Fragosos insist that the 10-room house, built in 1920 and renovated in 2003, is not haunted. The Long Island house were the original Amityville murders took place was up for sale in 2010.  [Asbury Park Press]
