Helter Skelter is a 1976 TV film based on the 1974 book by prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi and Curt Gentry. In the United States, it aired over two nights. In some countries it was shown in theaters with additional footage (nudity, language and more violence).

The movie is based upon the murders committed by the Charles Manson Family. The best-known victim was actress Sharon Tate. The title was taken from the Beatles' song of the same name. According to the theory put forward by the prosecution, Manson used the term for an anticipated race war, and "healter skelter" [sic] was scrawled in blood on the refrigerator door at the house of one of the victims.

The 1976 film, directed by Tom Gries, stars Steve Railsback as Manson and George DiCenzo as Bugliosi. Writer JP Miller received a 1977 Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America for Best TV Feature or MiniSeries Teleplay.

Description: Steve Railsback gives a haunting performance as charismatic cult leader Charles
Manson in this graphic three-hour made-for-TV movie about the grisly Sharon Tate/La Bianca
murders orchestrated by Manson. Based on Vince Bugliosi's novel, the movie demonstrates the
almost hypnotic pull Manson exerted over his impressionable followers... a devotion that led
to the brutal killings in the Hollywood hills.
