<P> The on - location scenes of The Amityville Horror were filmed at a private residence in Toms River , New Jersey , which had been converted to look like the 112 Ocean Avenue home after authorities in Amityville denied permission for filming on the actual location . Exterior scenes were also filmed in Toms River and Point Pleasant Beach . Local police and ambulance workers would play extras in the film , while the Toms River Volunteer Fire Company was used to provide the rain during several scenes . Indoor shots were filmed at the MGM studio lot in Los Angeles , California . </P>
