Ep, 141: The Manson Family Murders, Pt. 1 - Making a Monster
Ain't It Scary? with Sean & Carrie - A podcast by Killer Podcasts - Thursdays
Categories:
The innocence of the Summer of Love and the hippie counterculture movement came to an abrupt end in August 1969, when a string of brutal murders in the Los Angeles area rocked Hollywood, the country, and the world. The perpetrators? A strange hippie cult called "The Family", headed by a creepy, scrawny guy with an odd charisma by the name of Charles Manson. This August, we're diving in to the explosive story of the Manson Family Murders with a multi-part series investigating the who, what, where, when, and why of one of the most infamous multiple murders ever perpetrated. In doing so, we'll explore how a cult is created, and how even the weirdest-seeming leaders can attract followers. In this first episode, we go into the younger years of Charles Manson, and see how a combination of nature and nurture turned him into the fame-obsessed monster that would eventually bring the 1960s to a brutal, violent end. ________________________________________ Connect with us on social media: Facebook: www.facebook.com/aintitscary Twitter: @aintitscary Instagram: @aintitscary Patreon: www.patreon.com/aintitscary Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/aint-it-scary?ref_id=27696 ___________________________________________ Thank you to our sponsors: Neuro Gum - Get up to 30% off your order of Neuro Gum at tryneurogum.com/aintitscary!
