Ryder: 'Charles Manson' to be Released On DVD

HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—Don’t be alarmed but Charles Manson the notorious leader of the Manson Family is set to be released November 4. Released on DVD, that is, as the now-year-old Will Ryder-directed porn movie Manson Family XXX hits stores November 4, distributed by Pulse distribution. The beautifully shot feature film is perhaps the best look at hippie love, capturing the flower-power generation just as it took place back in 1969 as Manson cultivated his utopian community of sexy young women and willing gents ready to carry out his instructions and sexual fantasies. The X-rated movie is filled with gorgeous, horny girls who strip off their clothes to participate in graphic sexual escapades including a massive LSD-fueled orgy orchestrated by Manson. A semi-SFW trailer is available on YouTube.   The movie has been long delayed in DVD format due to a series of legal threats that were overcome after they were deemed without merit. The movie is now safe for distribution and pre-orders are strong, making this perhaps the most intriguing new title of the year. “Lots of people are fascinated with Manson,” stated Ryder. “There’s nothing wrong with that fascination but I’m blown away at the size of the audience. People are thirsty for more information and more insight into this era. Plus this is a great movie, so the potential audience is massive.” The movie stars a bevy of hippie chicks that fornicate and orally satisfy Manson, Tex Watson and other ranch hands. The Manson Family women are Sarah Vandella as Linda Kassabian, Nadia Styles as Ruth Ann Moorehouse, Cassidy Klein as Gypsy, Maya Grand as the runaway, Gaia as the housekeeper, and Judas as Susan Atkins. Manson Family XXX has been a lightning rod for criticism, including this story on TMZ and, as Ryder points out, the NBC television series Aquarius starring David Duchovny this summer also garnered early condemnation but then critical praise when it aired. “People are afraid and yet very interested in Charles Manson because he had the power to manipulate people’s minds. It makes it even more compelling to witness what took place when these ladies were told to undress and sexually satisfy everybody in that compound,” remarked Will Ryder. “But the cool thing is that if you were into the 1960s with the music and the culture, then this movie is perfect for you.” The authentic porn movie was shot at the actual Spahn Ranch grounds where Charles Manson and his family lived in 1969 when they committed the murders. “The scenery is breathtaking so it was beautiful and creepy all at the same time,” noted top star Sarah Vandella. When asked why he took on such a controversial subject Ryder summed it up best, saying, “I'm telling parts of the Manson Family story just like the authors and producers of over eighty books, movies and television documentaries have told over the years. Just because we are in the porn business shouldn't restrict us from telling stories or showcasing a viewpoint, however controversial." Manson Family XXX will be in stores November 4 from Will Ryder Productions and available from Pulse Distribution.
