Jay Anson (Novem– March 12, 1980) was an American author whose most famous work was The Amityville Horror. The Lutzes had sold the rights to the book to Anson, who had added to and adapted some of the Lutz's original claims. His work, The Amityville Horror, was sold as 'a true story,' and it was based on the reported experiences of George Lutz and Kathleen Lutz at 112 Ocean Avenue in December 1975. With more than 500 documentary scripts for television to his credit, he was associated with Professional Films, Inc.

He began as a copy boy on the New York Evening Journal in 1937 and later worked in advertising and publicity. After the runaway success of that novel, he wrote 666, which also dealt with a haunted house.
