TOMS RIVER, NJ Fire damaged a deck at the home used for the filming of the 1979 movie The Amityville Horror, authorities said Wednesday evening.
The fire on Brooks Road was reported about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday by a neighbor who heard an explosion and saw the fire, said Jillian Messina, media relations specialist for the Toms River Police Department.
The neighbor told police he did not believe anyone was home, she said. Firefighters with the Toms River Fire Company were able to quickly extinguish the fire, which had caused a propane tank to explode, on the rear deck of the home.
