You're a big girl now.

But I'm scared in there all by myself.

All right.

Since it's a new room for

you, but just for tonight.

Okay?

Jessica?

We got a flat tyre on the freeway.

Mom had to pull to the side of the road.

We've got a spare, but that was flat too.

Then we had to wait for over an hour

for the police to call a tow to get us out of it.

Then for seven hours for someone

to come and change the tyre.

Then we stopped to get something to eat.

We got burgers, fries and two hot chocolates.

Then started driving again. Brian got car

sick, but mommy couldn't stop on the freeway.

He got sick.

in the car.

Mommy, you scared him.

Scared who?

He's gone.

Jessie ...

There is nobody here.

Daddy was here.

Daddy's not here.

He was. I talked to him.

It was a dream.

- No. It was him.

I had a dream too. and it seemed

very real, but it wasn't.

And neither was yours.

Jessie, daddy's gone.

And he can't ever come back.

It was him!

Mom?

My blue sweaters are wrinkled from packing.

Can I wear yours?

Can't you wear something else today?

- I want the blue today.

What's wrong with her?

I don't know yet.

Hundred one point two.

Well, no school for you today.

- Lucky.

Amanda. - I'm just kidding.

I saw daddy last night.

It was a dream.

No wonder, her fever probably started.

Look, don't say stuff like that, okay?

I did see him.

- Just stop it! - Amanda?

She's sick.

- Mom, I don't care if she's sick.

I don't want her talking like that.

Why don't you just take the

sweater, okay? It's in my closet.

And hurry up about it.

Jessie, she misses daddy too.

It hurts her when you're saying things like that.

Mrs. Leacock.

I'm here.

In the kitchen.

Hello Peggy.

Where did that lamp come from?

- My sister. I'm trying to thank her,

but she must have gone out early.

You want to thank her for that?

Don't you like it?

I suppose you're gonna tell me

it's a valuable antique.

Would you like it any better?

I'd like it less if it means

we would be stuck with it.

What did you do to your hand?

Oh, there's something wrong

with that electric kettle.

Oh, well I'll call Wolf Read.

Hey, Peggy. - Oh, Nancy.

It's so good to see you.

- It's good to see you.

- Good to have you home.

Tell me that after you see my three

monsters. - Oh, I think I'll just go

and stir them out of bed. - Good.

Coffee's hot.

Mom, I have a problem.

Jessica has a fever.

Do you want the doctor?

- No, no, no. It's nothing that serious.

It's just that, I'll probably

have to leave her home today.

Peggy and I can look after

her. It's no problem.

Thanks, mom.

I'd hoped I wouldn't be disrupting your life

too much and here I go on day one.

Oh, morning, Brian.

- Morning, grandma.

What's for breakfast?

Well, I guess I can scramble up a few eggs.

- I'll scramble the eggs.

The rolls are in the freezer,

I'll warm up the oven.

Good morning, Fred.

Brian, the oven's ready.

Oh, mom.

Yeah, I gotta go to the club. I'll see ya.

You guys all right?

I get the feeling grandma thinks,

what happened today was our fault.

Oh, how can you say that? She took

responsibility for leaving Fred's cage unlocked.

- I know, but it was awfully frosty in her house.

She's upset, Amanda.

Just the way you're upset

about your first day in the new school.

That can make people frosty, right?

Hey! Don't I get a kiss?

You'll knock'em dead, sweetheart.

See ya at dinner.

Let's go, Brian.

You okay?

Yeah, I guess.

But will grandma be okay?

Don't you worry, grandma'll be just fine.

I'll bet in a week she'll have

another bird in that cage.

Yeah, but it won't be Fred.

No, it won't be Fred.

I just wish things would come back.

Me too.

Bye, honey.

- Bye, mom.

I'll move that into the attic.

How could I've made such an awful mistake?

I could have sworn this door was closed

last night. - Yeah, don't make

yourself sick over this.

Oh, Peggy I've been alone so long I ...

I'm not sure I can handle all this commotion.

I should have prepared you better

for what was to happened.

God knows, I've had my share of

confrontations with the evil in that house.

It's not a mission to be offered ...

without a complete full warning.

I blame myself for this.

Doctor White, report to oncology.

I spoke to the monsignor.

He thinks it's best you

return to the monastery.

Could you take me back to that house?

I don't think that's wise, Dennis.

You told me that house is safe now.

The furniture's gone?

I sold it off.

All of it?

Whatever I couldnt sell

went to the junk yard.

There was a ...

a standing lamp in this room. What

happened to it? - Sold it as junk.

Would anyone have a record?

I would.

I need a name and phone number.

Lieutenant Strudels?

This is Father Manfred.

How are you?

No, I'm fine. Thank you.

Lieutenant, I need a favour.

I have the phone number of a

woman who needs my help.

But she's not answering.

And I'm worried.

I don't have an address. I wonder

if you could get it for me if I

gave you her phone number.

And her name.

Oh, thank you.

Helen Royce.

Thank you.

Well, I appreciate that.

Tomorrow morning will be fine.

Thank you.

You know, this could be an overreaction

on both of our parts. - I hope so.

But I don't think you believe that.

A dozen years ago ...

evil was simply a concept in my mind.

That house in Amityville

has changed that concept to reality ...

forever.

For three hundred years ...

no one has lived on that ground

without tragic consequences.

In recent, 1974, boy murdered his

entire family, because the voices

in the house told him to do it.

A dozen years ago I would've thought

that, what you saw on that lamp ...

was a hallucination brought on by fear.

Now ...

Now I believe ...

that the evil in that house

could transmigrated to that lamp.

That it can and will transmigrate

into another object ...

or another house ...

or another person ...

at the earliest opportunity.

Pepper.

Pepper.

You're down here?

Jesus, Pepper.

What're you doing over here?

Here.

Jesus, look at all this stuff.

Huh?

Peggy, what in the world ...

- In the basement.

Oh, my god.

Help.

No!

Stop it.

Stop.

Stop it!

Brian! Turn it off!

- I can't!

No, Brian!

Help me!

Brian!

Brian, stop it!

Stop it! Stop it, Brian! Brian, stop it!

Are you crazy?

It's started by itself.

- You switched it on.

No, I didn't.

Brian, don't you lie to me.

I'm not lying, grandma. It started by

itself when I was pretending use

it, but it started by itself.

It can't start by itself.

- What is going on down here?

- Mom, mom, it started by itself. Honest!

Nancy, you know how I feel about lying.

I mean, a mistake is human,

but a lie is the devil's work.

- Brian doesn't lie.

But how do you explain all this?

- I don't know, mother, but I don't think

you start by calling your grandson a liar.

Amanda?

I'll ask ...

Wolf Read to come by and take a

look at the saw. And the kettle and ...

And.. that old lamp it's, it's

been doing funny things lately.
