The legendary Amityville home that inspired the terrifying book and movie is for sale (they're asking a little over a million bucks), and PETA wants the keys! The animal rights group says they've written to the current owner asking if they could rent the residence to set up an exhibit called the "Amityville Slaughterhouse of Horrors," which would teach carnivores about the evils of factory farms and slaughterhouses. They would also set up an on-site café where visitors could learn about vegetarian options.
The organization's VP, Tracy Reiman, wrote in her letter to the owners: "In our horror house, the sound of slaughterhouse blades whirring while animals scream for their lives would play over loudspeakers. Visitors would be able to see animatronic hens struggling for space inside tiny battery cages and lifelike fish gasping for air as they slowly suffocate on the deck of a fishing boat." On top of all that, the Daily News notes that visitors will also be able to get locked in a small pig crate, and buy souvenirs like a knife-wielding Ronald McDonald. Hopefully if this all goes down they'll create their own movie trailer to promote it.
