The Amityville haunting is a modern folk story based on the true crimes of Ronald DeFeo Jr. On November 13, 1974, DeFeo shot and killed six members of his family at 112 Ocean Avenue, Amityville, on the south shore of Long Island. He was convicted of second-degree murder in November 1975.

It gained the grim moniker as the scene of a mass killing. Robert DeFeo Jr was just 23 when he murdered six members of his family, including his parents, as they slept at 112 Ocean Avenue in November 1974.

Taking place in 1944, Vanguard Zombies, developed by Treyarch, shifts the focus of the Dark Aether story to the disturbing occult activities carried out by the Third Reich during WWII.

They were working in a factory known as "Der Riese" or "The Giant". They used many experiments with Element 115, an element taken from an asteroid taken from Tunguska. Maxis and Richtofen used 115 to create zombies from dead humans.
