Charles Manson: The Final Words will premiere this Sunday, December 3, at 9pm ET/8pm PT on Reelz. The documentary is narrated by Rob Zombie and directed by James Buddy Day (The Shocking Truth).

The film tells of the infamous Manson family murders from Manson’s perspective using never-before-seen case files, pictures, and exclusive interviews with Manson himself from inside California State Prison before his death.

Charles Manson: The Final Words includes Manson’s eerie and disturbing conversations about modern society, justice, his decades behind bars, the Bernard Crowe shooting and the murders along with digitally restored audio recordings from the original investigations to reconstruct a path of events that led to the brutal slayings of movie star Sharon Tate and four of her friends on August 8, 1969 in addition to the murders of Gary Hinman and Donald “Shorty” Shea.
The documentary also includes compelling new interviews with members of the Manson family which reveal never-before-heard details that help uncover the real story and motives behind the grisly murder spree. Viewers will hear from accused Manson family members Bobby Beausoleil, Barbara Hoyt and Catherine “Cappi” Gillies along with prosecutor Stephen Kay, defense attorney Gary Fleischman, music producer Phil Kaufman as well as other investigators and authors.

I remember when this came out in its original theatrical run, there was an article in the local paper about a bunch of moral watchdogs planning on picketing the theatre in protest, so I figured bonus entertainment for the price of admission, but there was nary an outraged soul in sight.  The only theatre showing Corpses in a hundred mile radius was a shopping center multiplex that was run-down and well past its prime in general, but they specifically played it in the most trashed and tiny of their auditoriums – I’ve been in living rooms that were bigger – which was *perfect*. 

The showing I attended had only one other patron filling a single seat, and he got up and left halfway through, leaving me and my date with our own private grindhouse all to ourselves.  We felt like rock stars.
