Alternatively, I could have called this one, “Hoaxer Skelter.” What started out as more of an overview turned into a 45 minute exposé on the Sharon Tate, Manson family murders.
Most people know little about either the Tate/LaBianca murders or the real story of the Manson family. Do yourself a favor and DON’T bother to read “Helter Skelter,” or at least don’t take it too seriously. It’s part of the over-all scripted narrative that so successfully crushed the spirits of those questioning authority as they entered the ’70s.
