\n Lesley Chilcott\u2019s docuseries, \u201cHelter Skelter: An American Myth,\u201d adds some new wrinkles to the exhaustively chronicled story of Charles Manson, his \u201cfamily\u201d of followers and the horror they unleashed on LA in August of 1969.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s saying a lot, since you\u2019d think, by now, that we know everything there is to know about the horrific butchering of actress Sharon Tate, her unborn baby and four others in the Hollywood hills \u2014 followed, the next night, by the double-homicides of Leno LaBianca and his wife, Rosemary. The seven so-called \u201cTate-LaBianca murders\u201d terrified an entire city and gave rise to our long-standing (you might say obsessive) pre-occupation with toxically charismatic ringleader Manson, who died in prison in 2017 at the age of 83.<\/p>\n

What Chilcott (\u201cAn Inconvenient Truth\u201d) has done with the six-part \u201cAn American Myth\u201d(Sundays at 10 p.m. on Epix) is to dive more deeply into the roots of both Manson and his \u201cfamily,\u201d largely comprised of disaffected young women, some of whom (Linda Kasabian, Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkle, Leslie Van Houten) took part in the Tate-LaBianca murders along with Manson\u2019s right-hand man, Tex Watson.<\/p>\n

But Chilcott and the docuseries\u2019 executive producers, including TV wunderkind Greg Berlanti, take the now-familiar story and turn it inside-out by digging deeply into Manson\u2019s childhood and what led him to become the country\u2019s most notorious murderer and the epitome of homegrown evil. They had the good sense to allow Jeff Guinn, who wrote the excellent and comprehensive 2013 \u201cManson: The Life and Times of Charles Manson,\u201d to anecdotally walk viewers through his turbulent childhood in great (and vivid) detail \u2014 from his nomadic, largely motherless childhood spread across Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia through his years spent in reform schools and then prison, where he honed the psychological tricks he used to recruit his followers first in Berkeley, Calif. and then in LA. Manson used the the rules he learned from reading and reciting Dale Carnegie\u2019s \u201cHow to Win Friends and Influence People.\u201d Later, he would add drugs (including LSD) to his arsenal.<\/p>\n

For those uninitiated or not well-versed in the Manson story, \u201cAn American Myth\u201d offers up plenty of stock news<\/a> footage of the murder scenes (from both local and national TV outlets) and of the Manson family at Spahn\u2019s Movie Ranch, the seedy hangout they called home. Their leech-like friendship with Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson is recounted (several times) but I\u2019m guessing only diehard true-crime fans know that Angela Lansbury\u2019s daughter, Deirdre, was briefly in the family\u2019s orbit. They used her credit cards to run up massive bills before her mother got wise and shipped her off to Ireland.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of archival interviews with Manson and compelling new interviews with eyewitness family members including Catherine Share and with Bobby Beausoleil, now 72 and serving a life sentence for murdering musician Gary Hinman in service of Manson just days before the Tate-LaBianca killings. All of the usual stock news footage is there \u2014 the murder scenes, the family\u2019s Spahn Movie Ranch headquarters, etc. Manson\u2019s main ambition was to be a musician like The Byrds and The Beatles (his favorite groups) and \u201cAn American Myth\u201d recounts that journey, using rarely heard snippets of his recordings to relay that side of his twisted story.<\/p>\n

Fans of true-crime, and particularly the docuseries genre, should sample \u201cAn American Myth \u2014 if only to be reminded of the many forms in which evil presents itself.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
