Lucifer Rising


BOBBY BEAUSOLEIL AND THE FREEDOM ORCHESTRA: LUCIFER RISING SOUNDTRACK (1981)

"Robert Kenneth "Bobby" Beausoleil (born November 6, 1947, in Santa Barbara, California) is a convicted American murderer and associate of the Charles Manson "Family" who is serving a life sentence. He killed music teacher and fellow associate Gary Hinman on July 27, 1969, and has been imprisoned since his arrest for that crime. He was an aspiring musician and actor at the time that he murdered Hinman."

"In the late 1970s, with the permission of the prison, he composed and recorded the soundtrack for Kenneth Anger's movie Lucifer Rising after Anger's first choice, Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin, couldn't manage to deliver enough music for the film after three years of waiting, according to Anger." read more

  3. I read an interview with Anger where he more or less hinted heavy that the curse he placed on Beausoleil (because of the stolen film) had directly led to the satanic downfall of Manson Family 60's kills.

    The jump from his Magick Movies and Hollywood Babylon books to his late public video releases is downright perplexing.
