The Six Degrees of Helter Skelter is a recent documentary that takes a look at the Tate/LaBianca murders.
The "six degrees" in the title refers to the paths that some of the people involved in the murders crossed. You'll learn that somebody lived just down the road from somebody else, that somebody was friends with somebody else's friend, and that somebody who knew somebody dated somebody else involved in the case. I guarantee that by the time this documentary is over, you won't care about any of it.
Six Degrees stars and was co-written by Scott Michaels, whose other credits include
Dearly Departed: Vol. 1 and
20 Most Horrifying Hollywood Murders. Michaels also owns his own celebrity death tour company in LA, and created FindADeath.com.
Michaels is obviously very knowledgeable about the Manson murders, so much so that he comes off pretty fanboyish throughout the film. The film is essentially a two hour roadtrip for Michaels as he travels to every possible location related to the murders. At one point we see him snapping a digital photograph of one of the houses before cramming the camera back in his pocket and walking off quickly. In another segment, he and his friend use a metal detector to look for artifacts potentially left behind by the Family on the Spahn Ranch property, 30+ years after it burned to the ground. He refers to an old hubcap and part of a rusty muffler as "a score." Then again, in Michaels' house, we see that he has collected chunks of concrete from places where celebrities have died.
There's no historic video footage to be found here, but you will get to see the same black and white mugshots of the family used over and over. You'll also be treated to the same 'ol
crime scene phones that most of us looked for the first time we realzed people put that kind of stuff on the Internet. Or at least I did.
Did you ever have that a that was an expert on a subject that you asked a question and got a two hour response and 10 minutes into it you wished you hadn't asked it but you listened to the whole two hours just to be polite? This movie is a lot like that.
