The 2-part made for TV movie is called Helter Skelter and is based on the New York Times Bestseller Helter Skelter by Vincent Bugliosi, Manson's prosecutor. The actor's name is Steve Railsback. After Helter Skelter Railsback wasn't seen much. His portrayal of Manson was so eerie and accurate that he was typecast and work slowed a bit. Years later Railsback portrayed another serial killer, Ed Gein of Plainsville, WI. He was great in this movie also.

When will charles manson movie be on tv again?

The most popular and in most opinions the best film on Manson is called Helter Skelter ,starring Steve Railsback as Manson. The movie was based on the True Crime Bestselling book of the same name written by Manson prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi. The best time to look for the airing of this movie is when one of the Manson gang are up for a parole hearing. Airing the movie keeps the crime fresh in the public's eye as a move to keep the murderers in prison. It is working, too. Manson has been up for parole many times but has always been denied because in part, public outcry. Sharon Tate's mother was at every parole hearing of Manson and the 3 women who were convicted with him until her recent death. Rumor has it that he is up for another parole hearing in 2010.


Who owns Manson ranch?

I am going to assume you mean the ranch that Charles Manson and his 'family' lived at before and right after the Tate-LaBianca murders. The ranch was an old movie set called Spahn's Movie Ranch. It was located east of L.A. and I can imagine it was no Garden of Eden. Hot and dry beyond belief, but a good place to hide from the law.
