Auction History Result 8m769 MANSON pressbook '73 AIP serial killer documentary told by Charles Manson himself! Date Sold 5/5/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 8 1/2" x 14" [22 x 36 cm]; 14 pages) (Learn More) Manson, the 1973 Robert Hendrickson & Laurence Merrick AIP documentary (about Charles Manson and his kids; compiled from interviews with the Manson kids; "Meet one man's family revealed for the first time outside the courtroom -- the staggering details of the most hideously bizarre murders in the annals of crime suppressed until now and not permitted on TV, radio or family newspapers!"; "The terrifying truth behind the Tate-La Bianca massacre!"; "Told in their own words by the killers themselves!"; "Horrifying and unbelievably shocking") featuring documentary footage of Charles Manson, Lynette 'Squeaky' Fromme, Leslie Van Houten, Tex Watson, Robert Beausoleil, and Bruce Davis. Note that there were many people in the U.S., and particularly in California, where the murders occurred, who did not want this movie released, and it had a pretty limited release. We have seen a single Italian poster that proves it was released in Italy, but we don't know that it was ever released in any other countries outside the U.S. (the IMDb says it was also released in the Netherlands in 1973). In 1975, the movie was re-released to capitalize on the then-current notoriety of Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, who had tried to assassinate President Gerald Ford, and she was prominently pictured on that re-release poster, with the tagline "The girl who pointed the gun at the President". Even worse, the distributor cleverly printed the words "BANNED IN CALIFORNIA", on the top of the poster, making it look like a snipe, but it is actually printed on the poster, and we highly doubt it was actually banned!

Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! Condition: very good to fine, NO CUTS. Learn More about condition grades
