Tate murders. On the night of August 8, 1969, Tex Watson took Susan Atkins, Linda Kasabian, and Patricia Krenwinkel to "that house where Melcher used to live", as Manson had instructed him, to "totally destroy" everyone in it, and to do it "as gruesome as you can". Manson told the women to do as Watson instructed them.
Charles Manson told his followers that several White Album songs, particularly "Helter Skelter", were part of the Beatles' coded prophecy of an apocalyptic war in which racist and non-racist whites would be manoeuvred into virtually exterminating each other over the treatment of blacks.

Charles Manson scarcely appears in “Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood,” the new Quentin Tarantino film. But the Manson family's murderous home invasions on the nights of Aug. 8 and 9, 1969, give the film its narrative tension, and Manson's aura hangs over the entire film, as it should.

Like the stories in several of Tarantino's previous films, Once Upon a Time is a fictional narrative set against a largely historical backdrop. Cameramen film the scene as Charles Manson is brought into the Los Angeles city jail under suspicion of having masterminded the Tate-LaBianca murders of August 1969.
