In this chilling episode of Murder and Cocktails, Nicole and LaChelle dive deep into one of the most infamous cults in American history—the Manson Family. Led by the charismatic yet deranged Charles Manson, this group of followers committed a series of horrific murders that shocked the world in 1969. We'll explore how Manson manipulated his followers, using a potent mix of counterculture ideology and psychological control to carry out his twisted vision of an apocalyptic race war, which he called "Helter Skelter."
Focusing on the tragic murders of actress Sharon Tate and six others, we’ll dissect the events that led to their brutal deaths, the influence Manson had over his followers, and the impact these crimes had on society. As always, we’ll serve up a themed cocktail inspired by the time period—something groovy, but with a dark twist.
Grab a drink, settle in, and join us as we unravel the terrifying mind games of Charles Manson and his deadly cult.
Cheers to another night of true crime and cocktails!
