Like "Jaws 3-D" (which was released in July 1983), "Amityville 3-D" was filmed using the ArriVision 3-D process, supervised for this film by cinematographer Tibor Sands. ArriVision produced 3-D movies in full color, using a single camera and a single strip of film. A special twin-lens module fitted to the Arriflex camera divided the ordinary 35mm frame in half, placing left and right two-perf, Techniscope-sized frames one above the other in a "stacked" configuration. A single, standard projector outfitted with a special converging projection lens allowed for a relatively simple presentation of the resulting stereo imagery in cinemas.
