Vulture

The notorious killer was mentioned on Netflix’s Mindhunter, which premiered last month. He's also directly acknowledged on Season 2 of Search Party, which kicked off last night. And it was just two weeks ago that Evan Peters portrayed Manson in the episode “Charles (Manson) in Charge,” which reenacted the night of the Manson murders. Manson was also the subject of last week’s season finale. ALSO: Bryan Cranston claims he saw Manson when he was age 11 or 12.
