Answer:
Ronald DeFeo, Jr.
On the night of November 13, 1974, Ronald DeFeo, Jr., shot and killed his mother, father, two brothers, and two sisters while they were asleep in their beds. According to psychiatrists, he had antisocial personality disorder. Unfortunately, they also say that he was completely aware of what he was doing.
Then, in 1975, George and Kathy Lutz moved into the same house. After an extremely bizarre and terrifying 28 days, they and their children vacated the house and left all their belongings. They refused to set foot inside again. Their story is now the famous "Amityville Horror." (1979 & 2005)
Perry Smith and Richard Hickock were the killers of "In Cold Blood", a book released in 1966, which is also based on a true story.
