Grieving relatives were spared a horrific Halloween after a California review board denied parole on Oct. 27. 2-16 to Charles “Tex” Watson — the "right-hand man" to
Charles Manson, and one of the homicidal hippies who carried out the guru's demands for
a killing spree in 1969!

The convicted killer had contacted editors at Wikipedia.com to make changes to his online history — and, in the process, revealed bizarre new details about the nights that his sadistic hippie crew slaughtered innocents! [WARNING: GRAPHIC PHOTOS...]
That included the gruesome murder of pregnant movie star Sharon Tate and her friends in their L.A. home. Tex and other Manson Family disciples took part in
the brutal acts that included an attempt to cut Sharon's unborn child out of the womb.

That was followed by Charlie ordering Tex, Patricia Krenwinkel, and Leslie Van Houten to randomly murder innocent couple Leno and Rosemary LaBianca. The doomed husband is seen here with the word "WAR" carved into his body.
While the Manson Family murderers had often been up for parole, Tex's recent appearance had family members newly traumatized — after Leslie Van Houten had
actually been freed from prison earlier in 2016. But after a flood of outrage, Calif. governor Jerry Brown stepped in to have Leslie
kept behind bars.Photo credit: Getty Images
Tex, 70, will likely get his next parole hearing in 2021. Charles Manson, who was convicted of first-degree murder for directing the deaths, isn't expected to face a parole board again until 2027 — when he'll be 92 years old.
