Twice a month Joe Lipsett will dissect a new Amityville Horror film to explore how the “franchise” has evolved in increasingly ludicrous directions. This is “The Amityville IP.”
Part of the structure of this editorial series is working through the Amityville “franchise” in chronological order, so it was surprising to discover that Amityville Cop (2021) wasn’t listed on the Wikipedia list of titles.
Turns out Amityville Cop is something of an Amityville Prison (aka Against the Night) in which the word “Amityville” is never spoken and there’s no concrete connection to any of the other films. Sure, there’s a Satanic cult who dress in red, but there are none of Dustin Ferguson’s masks like Amityville in the Hood and the cult leader, Empress Ciara (Laurene Landon), has no back story that connects to any of the other villains in the “series.”

Like every year, the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards had its shares of highs and lows, but this year, the highlights were so bright they blow the roof off the place. From raucous performances to "surprise" guests, and a few big winners, the show rocked the house from start to finish.
Kicking off the night and opening the show was a killer number by Lady Gaga, who not only performed her new single Applause, but did so while dancing, and changing into half a dozen different costumes, on stage. From a white nun's habit to a white clam shell bikini, Gaga pulled off an opening act that set the bar high for future VMAs.
