"Reception and legacy" section needs to include criticism

The Helter Skelter theory promoted by the book is inherited wisdom at this point but it not universally accepted, and criticism of it should be included in the article. For example, the Manson Family article says: Mike McGann, an LAPD investigator on the Tate–LaBianca murders, later said, "Everything in Vince Bugliosi's book (Helter Skelter) is wrong. I was the lead investigator on the case. Bugliosi didn't solve it. Nobody trusted him."^[1]^: 104 Bueller 007 (talk) 19:26, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In Popular Culture

Hey, there. I thought there would be an In Popular Culture or similar section for this book, and came here to include a reference to it in the 2021 John Lee Hancock Film The Little Things, where the protagonist, while cleaning out a suspected serial killer's apartment, finds and burns a copy of Helter Skelter.

Would including a section like this be a good thing? Leishalynn (talk) 14:53, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
