On August 8–9, 1969, the Manson Family carried out the Tate-LaBianca murders — seven dead across two nights, driven by a delusional race-war theory built on the Beatles' White Album. This chapter follows Manson's psychological hold over his followers, the logic of Helter Skelter, and what happened when he decided to accelerate his apocalypse.
