Charles Manson was a 1960s serial killer and cult leader whose most famous murder was ordering the killing of Sharon Tate. He brain-washed a devote group of followers into various murders, with the hope of starting a race war and being the leader of the post-apocalyptic world said war would create. He held notions commonly regarded by most as ludicrous; for example, he believed the atheist band The Beatles was his disciples, and their song "Helter Skelter" inspired his idea. He has since come up for parole many times, but has been denied each time this has occurred.
