NEW "The Manson Family" has finally been released after years of work. The rough cut of Jim VanBebber's movie has circulated in bootleg form as "Charlie's Family" in the past. Now it has been finished and is available in two forms. One is a single disc DVD and the other is a double-disc set. (Scheduled for release in late April 2005). "Helter Skelter" (2004) - 2004 saw the broadcast of a new version of the "Helter Skelter" movie. The uncensored version has been released on DVD and can be ordered from Amazon, now. You can read an outline of the movie by clicking here. "Helter Skelter" (1976) is now available on DVD. This made-for-TV movie was originally broadcast over two nights. Of course, it is based on the Bugliosi book of the same title. "Manson" - This is the Robert Hendrickson documentary with film footage of the Manson Family. Has a soundtrack by Paul Watkins and Brooks Posten! The very best film you'll ever find on the Manson Family. Used VHS copies are often on eBay. "Charles Manson - Superstar" - Brought to you by the same guy who did the book "The Manson File". Available on VHS or DVD! "A&E Biography - Charles Manson" - I only saw this when it was broadcast (and not the actual videotape), but they should be identical. Very good. One of the better media jobs when it comes to Manson. "Twentieth Century With Mike Wallace: Monsters in Our Midst-Manson Family and Serial Killers" - Another A&E Biography show. "Court TV - Crime Stories: Charles Manson" - The Court TV special. Very good. "Rivals: Manson vs. Bugliosi" - This video has a lot of photos (many that I'd never seen before) and more info on Bugliosi than you usually hear. Pretty interesting. I managed to see it on the Discovery People channel. "Charles Manson and The Boston Strangler - The Untold Story" - If anyone knows what the heck this thing is, please let me know! I assume it's two separate and unrelated documentaries on one tape. So, I'd guess the Manson part is only half of the show. "The Helter Skelter Murders" - Also known as "The Other Side of Madness." This is a black and white bit of weirdness. I thought it was unwatchable but others seem to like it. "Judgement Day Theater: Book of Manson" - This 1989 movie is probably the worst Manson flick ever. This is a film made on a home video camera by a group of twentysomethings in their house and back yard. No costumes to speak of; the "actors" dress the same way they probably do every day (tee shirts and sunglasses). Some actors play multiple parts. Not even a very accurate depiction of the Manson case. LOTS of drug use; some sex. I have no idea how this one ever made it to Amazon. This has to be one of the least watchable things ever. Really doesn't have a plot; mostly just drug use and random lines that someone who didn't know the case very well might imagine the Family members saying. Odd film. [1] "Serial Killers: Profiling the Criminal Mind, Vol. 04: Charles Manson" - An A&E show with FBI profiler John Douglas. "The Ramrodder" is now available on DVD. This is the movie featuring Bobby Beausoleil and Catherine "Gypsy" Share. Although this has sometimes been referred to as "porn," it is quite tame by today's standards. Heck, Amazon sells it, so you know it can't be too bad! "Biography - Roman Polanski" - The A&E Biography episode on Sharon's husband. So, of course, it has some on the murders. "Closure" - A music video by Nine Inch Nails. This includes a video of "Gave Up" which was filmed in the Tate house. Thanks to Gizzo99 for the info. "Fearless Vampire Killers" - The Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski movie. "Valley of the Dolls" - A Sharon Tate movie. "Don't Make Waves" - A Sharon Tate movie. "The Wrecking Crew" - A Sharon Tate movie. "Rosemary's Baby" - The Roman Polanski movie that is frequently mentioned in Manson books. (VHS or DVD) "Macbeth" - The Roman Polanski movie with a murder scene that some say was inspired by Sharon's murder. "Pink Flamingos" - This John Waters movie has a few references to the Manson Family and is dedicated to Sadie, Katie and Leslie.
