True Crime Cult case: Manson Murders

Description

READ THESE DETAILS BEFORE PURCHASING TICKETS

This ain’t bar trivia. It’s research-heavy, gritty, and competitive. Know what you’re signing up for. You’ve been warned.

IMPORTANT POLICY – ONE NIGHT PER PERSON

I host True Crime Cult the third Tuesday and Wednesday of each month at Cult Classic. You may only attend one night per case.

If you show up to both, I’ll call you out, embarrass you in front of the room, disqualify your team and ban you from all future True Crime Cult. No second chances. No excuses. Don’t test me.

This is a serious competition — but it’s still meant to be fun. Grow up and don’t ruin it for everyone.

IMPORTANT POLICY – AGE DISCLAIMER

True Crime Cult is not a family-friendly event. We talk about murder, rape, trauma, and the worst parts of humanity — because that’s what true crime is.

I use strong language, dark humor, and I don’t hold back. There will be crude jokes. There will be uncomfortable truths. If that makes you uneasy, this probably isn’t your night.

Suggested age is 16+. If someone under 18 is in the room, it’s on their adult to know what they’re walking into.

Every third Tuesday & Wednesday, the truth comes out. Some crimes get solved. Others never will. And some are still happening while the whole world watches.

Each month, J. Coursey Willis cracks open a new case: unsolved, infamous, or just too twisted to forget. Once announced, you’ve got three weeks to study up and prepare for a night of gritty, case-based trivia — for prizes, pride… and the right to talk trash for a month.

The Next Case: The Manson Murders

One man. One cult. One summer drenched in blood.

August 1969 — Los Angeles. Charles Manson whispered revolution, but what he sent his followers to do was ritual slaughter.

A pregnant actress butchered in her home. Friends torn apart beside her. The next night — a married couple, cut down like offerings. None of them knew each other. All of them were chosen to die.

The scenes were carnage — bodies stabbed dozens of times, walls screaming with blood. The word “PIG” smeared in crimson across a door. The city froze, every shadow hiding the possibility of another cult kill.

Was Manson a failed rock star desperate for fame? A prophet of madness? Or just a parasite who turned lost kids into his knives and puppets?

The murders weren’t just gruesome. They were apocalyptic. They ended the Summer of Love and dragged America into a new era of fear — where every stranger could be a killer, and every cult could be waiting in the dark.

This October, we reopen the case that still haunts Halloween. The night the sixties died… and the devil moved in.

EVENT DETAILS

Tuesday, October 21 & Wednesday, October 22

Cult Classic Brewing – Private Venue Room

Advance tickets only – No door sales

Doors Open: 5:45 PM

Doors Close: 6:30 PM sharp

HOW TICKETS & SEATING WORK

Tables seat 4 people. If you want the whole thing to yourself, buy all 4 seats.

Teams can combine 2 tables for a MAX of 8 players. You CANNOT have more than 8 per team.

If you plan to combine two tables, make sure you buy two of the same type that are near each other.

• Diamond-shaped tables = low tops
• Circle-shaped tables = high tops

Most teams do it like this: one person buys all the tickets (anywhere from 1 to 8), then their friends pay them back and show up together the night of. Easy.

Flying solo? Grab a single ticket — but only full-table purchases guarantee a private team.

HOUSE RULES

• No phones.
• No notes.
• No cheating.

Don’t test it. I will kick you out permanently.

Come early (not when the doors close). Grab food. Get a drink. The case starts at 6:30 PM sharp.

Produced & Hosted by J. Coursey Willis
