Live Freaky! Die Freaky!

"Live Freaky Die Freaky" is a stop motion-animated, musical independent film directed by John Roecker. It is a black comedy based on the Charles Manson murders. It premiered on DVD in the United States on January 17, 2006, and played in a few theatres on January 20, 27 and 28.

Plot

The movie starts out with a futuristic Nomad from the year 3069 who accidentally discovers the book "Helter Skelter" while searching for food in a desert. As he reads we flash back to 1969 where Susan Hatkins meets Charlie during a bad LSD trip. Charlie then re-names her Hadie (most of the character names are derived from real people involved with the Manson murders, but replacing the first letter with 'H'), and she is accepted to his family where they plan things to change the world, and make music. After finding out that the snobby, nature hating actress Sharon Hate is supposed to be filming a movie in the desert where they are living, Charlie and the family plot to kill her. Charlie claims to get messages through songs such as "I Want to Hold Your Hand" by The Beatles, in which to kill Sharon.

Soon after brutally murdering Sharon Hate they go after a grocery man who was mean to one of the members of Charlie's family. They kill him and his wife and are later found by the police in the desert, after which they have a trial and sentenced to death by gassing, electric chair, and hanging till dead.

We go back to the Nomad in 3069 who carves an X in his forehead and uses Charlie Hanson as a sort of Messiah.
