ROWLANDS: Some people can't seem to get enough.
(on camera) And a perfect example is Scott Michaels' company called Dearly Departed Tours. They have a "Helter Skelter Tour," where people actually go around to different spots that are connected to the Manson murders.
And who goes on these tours?
SCOTT MICHAELS, RUNS "HELTER SKELTER TOUR":
The people that take this tour are people that are generally fascinated with this case.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It's completely fascinating. It's got celebrities. It's got blood. It's got gore.
(MUSIC: "HELTER SKELTER" BY THE BEATLES)
ROWLANDS: "Helter Skelter," the made-for-TV movie, came out in 1976, but documentaries about Manson are still being made, feeding the fascination over what happened and why.
LINDA KASABIAN, INTERVIEWED IN NEW DOCUMENTARY: Meeting Charlie for the first time was very exciting.
ROWLANDS: The History Channel is premiering "Manson" next month.
KASABIAN: He gave me the feeling that I would be cared for and that he took care of everybody. I eventually felt really safe and protected. We were like his children.
MANSON: It wasn't Charles Manson followers. I never had any followers. That was the district attorney's trip.
MICHAELS:
This is the La Biancas' home coming up on our left.
ROWLANDS: Back on the bus, where it's $50 a ticket for a three- hour tour, Scott Michaels says it's not just about making money. He's also obsessed with the Manson case.
MICHAELS:
I don't think I'm a bad person. I think the people that take my tour aren't bad people. They're just interested in something that is -- that's horrific, but it's still history.
ROWLANDS: A piece of history that many people don't want to forget.
MANSON: Yes, I'm terrible. I'm a terrible guy, man. I'm awful.
I move so quick you wouldn't believe it (ph).
ROWLANDS: Ted Rowlands, CNN, Los Angeles.

HILL: Up next, inside the mind of another killer. The man who went on a rampage at a Pennsylvania gym earlier this week actually left a video diary online. Interesting to see what he said.
Plus saying good-bye to filmmaker John Hughes through some of his most memorable movie moments.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
HILL: Our tribute to director John Hughes, who died suddenly today, coming up. But first, Gary Tuchman back with another "360 Bulletin."
