The movie is based upon the murders by the Charles Manson Family. The most well-known victim was actress Sharon Tate. The term "helter skelter" was taken from the Beatles' song of the same name (see Helter Skelter). Manson used the term for an anticipated race war, and "healter skelter" was scrawled on the wall in blood at the house of one of the Family's victims.
