8. Wild Beyond Belief! Human Garbage In The Sickest Love Parties! - Satan's Sadists
If luck is where planning meets opportunity, then Satans Sadists was Al Adamsons lucky picture. The planning was the footage hed shot at Spahn Ranch in the late '60s. The opportunity came when the Ranchs most famous resident, Charles Manson, ordered his followers to kill Sharon Tate. Determined to exploit the incident, Adamson and producer Sam Sherman suggested exhibitors hype the movie as The REAL story of Californias sadistic Tate murder hippie cult!, which paid off to the tune of $10 million in box office receipts.
