How scary it must've been to be in the city when it was the serial killer capital of the world.

R10 forgot to mention, if you want to watch a comprehensive documentary on the Manson murders, watch Helter Skelter: An American Myth on Epix

Or for a great podcast, listen to: you must remember this: Manson

After seeing the success of Netflix's Night Stalker and Elisa Lam documentaries, Hulu went right in on capitalizing on the LA murder genre.
