I live in western NY, so it's a ways away but do-able for a daytrip. I was really disappointed when I heard that they remodeled that whole side of the house so rhat it no longer looks like the book/movie cover.

I never understood the reasoning either - you purposefully bought the Amityville house. You knew what it was when you bought it. Why even move there if you don't want the attention? You paid a premium, I'm sure, because of the infamous nature. It's just so dumb to me.
