The Amityville house is more interesting.

My father worked down the block from it - I drove past it many, many times.
Nothing to see here, move along.

That’s seriously cool. The closest I could come in my area is renting a “suspected” child serial killers apartment ( I say suspected serial killer because although implicated, confessed and convicted he’s recanted his confessions and refuses to locate the bodies)
And no I never tried to rent it.

God I somehow turned this thread dark…
In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil escaped my sight.

Northport is a 40 minute drive and several socio-economic levels from Amityville.
Yes but Ricky held a satanic summoning there once.
Albeit under a bush
Sorry I’ve read that book so many times I forget not every one else has.
Guilty as charged.
A guy from the area snuck in as a teen looking for the red room—it doesn’t exist. More interesting is that the same guy served time with DeFeo for a while
Wow, well there’s a reference that’s gone over my head since I was fourteen. The Dead Milkmen song “Bad Party” mentions Ricky twice, but I just thought it was some in-joke with his buddy. The frontman, Rodney Anonymous, mentions books like “The Killer Inside Me” and etc, so it makes sense that he would use Kasso as lyric-fodder
We’re going to a bad party
It’s the worst party that’s ever been
…
Shut your mouth and get in the car
Ricky Kasso wants to drive
…
When we get there let’s say we love Satan
Ricky always thinks that’s funny
I always thought he was saying “Ricky Castle,” though. Sorry for O/T but it’s weird to finally find out who it was.

Believe it or not I’ve never heard that song. I honestly can only think of 3 dead milkmen songs I’ve ever heard and the only one I can name is punk rock girl… I was always more agnostic front and less milkmen
I’m gonna have to check it out.
FYI I think that the song references the trip to preform the satanic mass at the Amityville house… I can’t vouch for how factual the dialogue is. It’s a good read in any case.

I always assumed the house was at least 3 stories. Clearly I was not looking closely enough.
