In Charles Manson : Superstar, they show Barker Ranch. But in this documentary, the fireplace looks wrong, too squared looking, not like it really is with its jagged edges and hugh undefined boundaries...is it just the lighting?...Im thinking it is because the rest they show looks correct.

I haven't watched that in a long time. Check the fireplace photo at:

It appears somebody added some additional stones at some point. They stick further out into the room and don't really match the others.

I have compared the two closely. Seems, no matter how I look at it, they look different. I now think that the one shown in Charles Manson : Superstar is indeed at Barker Ranch, but the way it looked in the mid to late 80's. Thats not the way it looks now.

This is my favourite documentary about Charlie and I give it to everyone I know to watch it and try to understand who Charlie really is, because people have lots of prejudices. Everyone who have watched this masterpiece at least don't have same opinion like before about the case and Charlie itself. Especially my friends who loves the movies of genius John Waters.

It's one of the only interviews where he's allowed to say whatever he wants. I think that's the highlight.

This "documentary" of Manson can now be viewed online, free...taken your connection can handle it:
