Joel Delaney and the Manson Murders
I recently read a blog post with an excellent review of TPOJD:http://lecinemadreams.blogspot.com.es/2015/07/the-possession-of-joel-delaney-1972.html
One of the commenters spotted some striking coincidences between the movie and the real life Manson Muders:
-Barbara Trentham (Sherry) looks quite a bit like Sharon Tate in Valley Of The Dolls, not to mention the similarity in names (Sharon/Sherry):

-The guy on the right looks like Roman Polanski quite a bit:

-The photographs of Tonio Perez look like Charles Manson, bug-eyed stare and all:
