Though the actual history has retained its hypnotic allure for generation after generation since, the original cinematic cash-in gold rush on Charles Manson had long ebbed by the time Charles Manson Superstar appeared in 1989. A product of the underground, it was made by Nikolas Schreck, who, before converting to Buddhism and launching a band called Kingdom of Heaven, led the theatrical, ritualistic, controversial L.A.-based Goth music act Radio Werewolf and was a practician of "magical resistance." He was definitely in the first half of that personal evolution when he published The Manson File, a study of the titular figure’s religious and philosophical ideas. To a large degree, it offered a defense of the prison lifer who from all available evidence never actually killed anyone. (Manson was convicted of murder by joint-responsibility conspiracy in the Tate-labianca case, and like his fellow “Family” defendants has been denied parole ever since.
