Charles Manson, Seriously Ill, Moved Out Of Prison Into Hospital
Written by Patti Pauley
Breaking news coming out of California today as we learned Charles Manson, notorious for brainwashing his cult of followers into mass murders of innocent people in the late 60’s, has been transported out of the Corcoran State Prison to the Bakersfield Hospital.
TMZ reports that sources say he is alive, but seriously ill due to gastrointestinal issues and could not disclose any further details about the underlying ailment that has Manson away from the cell where he is currently serving nine life sentences.
Manson, as ugly as it is to say, has become infamous for the ‘Manson Family Murders’ that included the slaughter of the beautiful, and very pregnant Sharon Tate, whom at the time was married to Rosemary’s Baby director Roman Polanski. The butchering of several more victims, which you can read more about in detail here, was spread across the greater Los Angeles area in an attempt to incite a racial war by targeting the elite of Hollywood’s finest. Other Manson Family sacrifices included writer Wojciech Frykowski and his partner, the coffee bean heiress Abigail Folger, celebrity hairstylist Jay Sebring, wealthy supermarket executive Leno LaBianca and his wife Rosemary.
While Manson never technically killed anyone by his own hand, the ‘Helter Skelter’ inspired cult leader coerced his followers to do his dirty work for him. This is what we call ‘murder by proxy’. A proxy murder is defined as a murder in which the murderer does so at the behest of another, acting as his or her proxy. With this information, many argue whether Charles Manson should actually be referred to as a true serial killer or not. ( I see this a lot on the Interwebs) However, the facts and circumstances regarding his involvement, are about as sinister and evil as you could get. One definitely cannot argue that at least.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed
Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.
This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.
The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.
The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.
Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.
Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
