Isn’t it obvious that the Lutzes made up this whole story for the money?
Some people think the Lutzes’ story is nothing more than a money-making hoax. They feel the Lutzes simply moved in to a house with a tragic past and took advantage of its notoriety. Others point out that looking back on the situation in retrospect is the only way this theory of a hoax makes any sense. No one knew the book would spark with the public and become a world-wide bestseller. No one knew the movie would be a hit. And with both the book and film, the Lutzes got only a tiny share of the profits, while Jay Anson and the film producers became millionaires. If this was a hoax, then money would be the goal, and they would have made sure they got the lion’s share of the profits from any book or film venture. That would have been one of the first plans of action.
