The Strangers Explained: The Tate & LaBianca Connection| Fear & Wine Ep. Part 2

The Tate & LaBianca Murders. Part Two of our Strangers companion series turns from fiction to fact. Over two nights in August 1969, eight people were murdered in Los Angeles — a case that decades later helped inspire the horror film The Strangers. This solo episode spends most of its time with the people who died: Sharon Tate, Jay Sebring, Wojciech Frykowski, Abigail Folger, Steven Parent, and Leno and Rosemary LaBianca — who they were before that August, and what we actually know about their final hours. Then we cover Charles Manson, the “Family” he built through manipulation and isolation, the contested “Helter Skelter” theory prosecutors used at trial, and where each of the people who carried it out ended up.
