For those who want to know more about the trail of Charles Manson and his family of followers, Dearly Departed Tours offers the Helter Skelter Tragical History Tour, a bus tour of the locations associated with the infamous Los Angeles, California, Tate/LaBianca murders of 1969.
According to Zerve.com for $55 each, up to 13 participants are loaded into a bus, and given a tour of the:
- The Tate and LaBianca murder locations
- The final steps of Rosemary and Leno LaBianca
- Day-to-day locations from the victims’ lives: The Sebring Salon, The El Coyote restaurant where the Tate group had their last supper
- Where the murderers creepy crawled, where they disposed of the clothing, murder weapon, and the driveway where the killers washed off after the murders
- A multimedia presentation complete with video and audio clips (including the murderers themselves) surrounding the case
All this while the top-40 songs of 1969 play in the background — how can you go wrong?
The Tate/LaBianca murders were committed on August 9 and 10, 1969, purportedly in an effort to create a race war and bring about the end times, which Charles Manson called “Helter Skelter.” On orders from Manson, his followers happily slaughtered everyone they found at two locations, nine people in all, 10 if you count Sharon Tate’s unborn child, and scrawled hate words with their blood on the walls. The murders still captivate and terrify today.
Reviews of the tour are overwhelmingly positive, but anyone with concerns regarding the upsetting nature of the tour’s content should bear in mind that most reviewers were already devoted students of the case.
