The Manson Family Page #6

Synopsis: If you think you know the story of the Manson Family, you are dead wrong. On a ranch outside of Los Angeles, the dream of the "Love Generation" is transforming into something evil. What was once an oasis of free love and acid trips has become ground zero for a madman's paranoid visions. An average group of kids, the "Family," become engulfed in a delusional world where torment and slaughter are considered the path to righteousness.Director Jim VanBebber (Deadbeat at Dawn) delivers a dizzying, rapid-fire vision of the sex and violence that unifies the misguided group, a group hell-bent on executing the brutal vision of its leader, Charles Manson. You've seen the story through the eyes of the law. Now witness it through the eyes of THE MANSOSN FAMILY.

But its there,

its here,

Its here, dig?

Like a thought,

its a thought,

its in a thought,

its in a thought

from me to you?

I dont have to

take this sh*t!

Jerry, Jerry, Jerry,

Jerry, Jerry cmon man!

Charlie, what

are you doing,

you dont go slapping people!

Well f*** you and

your bullshit Studio!

Hey, is that

what you think Man?

Charlie does things his way.

He dont conform to the pig

rules of the establishment.

So Terry, you worked in

the studio with Charlie.

Now youre his Producer.

What, what did you think

of him, as a musician,

as an artist?

Charlie was at the edge.

Just the whole sixties scene,

L.A.

Things kind of built

to a critical mass

and at one point,

I actually thought,

Well, maybe there is something

we could do with this, but,

But the music was

really crap, wasnt it?

Yes, the music was crap.

Were so formal

over here, on the BBC.

[Charlie singing]

Just come and

say you love me,

give up your world,

cmon, you can be...

I mean things looked

good for Charlie

and everybody was just goofing

with their

head in the clouds.

Well, we gave

up our own birthdays

and renounced our families.

Charlie didnt allow

any clocks, calendars,

or anything like

that on the ranch.

Dennis and Bobby

were donating food,

cars, women whatever.

It was always submit,

give something to Charlie.

Submit everything you had,

submit your ego.

If you do not give me

the deed to the ranch,

I will throw you on

the rail road track!

Ahaaaahhhhaaaaahhhhhh!

Help!

Save me, save me!

Wed just drop acid

and share out of this big

pile of clothes and costumes,

and role play the day away.

Changing situations

and characters.

Well, youre

all going to be clearing

out of here pretty soon,

because George is

getting real tired

of you giving his

ranch a bad name.

I dont understand

all you little creeps.

Charlies not Jesus Christ,

hes not the Devil.

Hes just a little con man,

hes spent half his

life in jail goddamn it!

Well once the bikers and

ex-cons moved onto the ranch,

it became a chop shop

for stolen cars,

and dune buggies.

And Shorty began taking

down license plate numbers.

Now Shorty was married

to this black go-go dancer,

and that just

burned Charlie up

because it went

totally against his

racial philosophies.

Hey you n*gger lover!

I heard your wife

takes it up the ass.

Is that true?

Well loose lips sink ships.

He never said,

in so many words

that he was Christ,

but he would imply.

Like, when hed look at me

and smile and hed say

Dont you know who I am?

I made love to

Charlie last night.

Yeah?

How was it?

Well, it was...

Cmon...

Like what was it like?

It was,

it was great.
