Kidder starred in The Amityville Horror alongside actor James Brolin, now 83.
According to Slashfilm.com, Brolin took on the role because a scary accident occurred when he read the book while working on another project.
"But as I'm shooting 'Night of the Juggler'... somebody says, 'There's no script, but you ought to read this book, The Amityville Horror, because they'll have the script soon, and they really would like to have you do it,'" he explained.
"So I was reading this novel at night and it's two in the morning. Well, I would hang my pants on the door of the bedroom, I'd throw them over the top corner of the main door coming into the bedroom, and all of a sudden the pants fell off the door onto the floor."
