ABOUT THE SHOW

In 1974, 23-year-old Ronnie "Butch" DeFeo Jr., eldest of the DeFeo children, confessed to the murder of his entire family. Were these murders the springboard for the events that would take place in the house in the future, or were the DeFeos just another of the house's unsuspecting victims?
