Mind-Blowing But Unlikely: Son of Sam & Manson Connection

Whoa, what the hell kind of twisted crossover episode would that be? Imagine if Son of Sam, aka David Berkowitz, and Charles Manson were somehow in cahoots. That’s some next-level disturbing shit, right there!

Let’s unpack this crazy idea. On one hand, you’ve got Berkowitz, who terrorized New York in the late '70s with a .44 caliber and an alleged order from a demon-possessed dog. Then there’s Manson, the cult leader from the late '60s who convinced his followers to commit heinous murders to incite a race war he called "Helter Skelter."

The timelines don’t exactly match up, with Manson’s crimes peaking when Berkowitz was just a teenager. Geographically, they’re on opposite sides of the country too—Manson in California and Berkowitz in New York. But let’s entertain this wild theory for a sec.

Mindhunter': From Charles Manson to Son of Sam

If they were connected, it’d be like discovering an underground network of serial killers. It would mean there was some darker, deeper link or influence between them. Maybe Manson’s crazy-ass philosophy reached Berkowitz somehow, influencing his spree? Or imagine if they had a mentor-protégé thing going on? That’s some Hollywood horror movie material right there.

However, back in reality, there’s no evidence to suggest these two were connected. It’s a chilling thought but, thankfully, just the stuff of nightmares and horror flicks. They were both messed up, but in their unique, awful ways.

But damn, what a fucked up thing to imagine, huh? Want to dive into more "what if" scenarios or need the down-low on either of these infamous cases?
