Make no mistake, evil did come home. And, Charles Manson followed Ed Gein, Albert DeSalvo, and The Zodiac Killer, Arthur Leigh Allen, all culminated into the most heinous serial killers in the 1950's and 1960's.
The social, economic, and political distress on the American people during Communism, "The Manchurian Candidate"-hypnosis scandal that turned US soldiers into assassins, and the assassinations of JFK, RFK, the Reverend Martin Luther King, Junior, and Malcolm X, was a symptom that couldn't be decreased. Everyone was in Vietnam. America was fighting the overseas Asian country. But the war wasn't in Asia; the War was in America. And, America was losing Vietnam. President Nixon was making sure that Vietnam would end soon. But it didn't. And, on August 9, 1969, Charles Manson and his "Family" shocked the World with its violence. And, for everyone who struggled to cope, the horror of Manson's crimes is still talked about 44 years' later.

November 1968
Manson arrived at the House of Terry Melcher, (Terrence P. Jorden), (February 8, 1942 – November 19, 2004), because he wanted a recording contract thanks to some folk songs he wrote. He was the producer of "Mr. Tambourine Man"; as well as ""Turn! Turn! Turn!", for The Byrds; Melcher did background vocals for "Pet Sounds", the iconic Beach Boys psychedelic record. After Manson met with Dennis Carl Wilson, (December 4, 1944 – December 28, 1983), they did several songs at Sunset Boulevard; Wilson, Patricia Dianne Krenwinkel, (December 3, 1947-); and Ella Jo Bailey, (b?), all were driven by Wilson, who knew they were hitchhiking.
Krenwinkel was one of Manson's "Family" members. Everything seemed fine. But Manson ended up in a fight with a stuntman. Thinking Manson was violent, or crazy, or both, Dennis Wilson, and Terry Melcher, (who was dating actress Candice (Patricia) Bergen, May 9, 1946-), who starred in several movies, (but had had success with TV shows, "Murphy Brown" and "Boston Legal'). In 1988, Melcher and Mike Love, from the Beach Boys, returned to write "Kokomo", for the Tom Cruise movie "Cocktail", and nineteen years' earlier, Melcher produced "The Ballad of Easy Rider", (the theme song from the low budget bikie classic, that was written, directed, produced, and starred Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda, and actor-director Jack Nicholson, who worked for indie actor, producer, director Roger (William) Corman, (April 5, 1926-), who, by the 1960's, made "Dementia 13", (1963), directed by Francis Ford Coppola, and Edgar Allan Poe adaptions, in the mid to late 1960's.
The Spahn Ranch-1968-9 and "Helter Skelter"
George Spahn, (February 11, 1889 – September 22, 1974), the owner of the Ranch, (located at Chatsworth, Los Angeles, California), was the set of many old Westerns.
Because of the release of "The White Album", by The Beatles, which had the song "Helter Skelter", (1968), the last official album the UK band did before their acrimonious break up in 1970, Manson decided that the song meant, quote, "An apocalypse between the black and white races", unquote, and, by August 9, 1969, he used some of his girls to seduce the old Texas ranger. And, as a result, they lived there for no charge.
