Murder and mass suicide in Guyana, final acts in a religious sect's weird fantasy of salvation, added the latest bizarre chapter to California's history of cult-inspired horror. Charles Manson, left, and Rev. Jim Jones both had avid followers who would carry out violent orders if instructed to. Manson justified his actions claiming he was the messiah and that he would spark a race war that he would ultimately be the main beneficiary of. He used this theory he called "Helter Skelter" to convince his followers to carry out brutal murders in Hollywood. Jones also beleived he was a savior and lead more than 900 people to their deaths in a mass suicide in Guyana in 1978 in order to escape armageddon. (AP Photo)
