movie vs book
John Gray, 2004
It has been almost 35 years since Charles Manson’s devotees carried out a savage killing spree, slaughtering seven individuals over two consecutive nights in Los Angeles and leaving gruesome messages scrawled on the walls of the crime scenes. The first night saw the murder of director Roman Polanski’s wife, Sharon Tate, along with coffee heiress Abigail Folger, Jay Sebring, Voytek Frykowski, and Steven Parent. The second night witnessed the brutal slaying of supermarket chain CEO Leno LaBianca and his wife.
