INSIDE EDITION has obtained exclusive, never-before-seen photos of Charles Manson's life in prison.  The convicted mass murderer spends his days playing chess and drinking Welch's juice from a vending machine.

One photo was taken just two months ago, when he had a full head of hair, but just a few days ago he shaved his head.

Age has finally caught up with the killer responsible for the murders of actress Sharon Tate and six others.  Manson is now 74-years-old.  The swastika tattoo on his forehead is there but has faded, his beard has turned gray, and his hairline is receding.  But the sister of slain actress Sharon Tate still finds his eerie stare as disturbing as ever.  

"He still has very intense eyes," Debra Tate says.

The photos belong to a man who calls himself Gray Wolf, a name given to him by Manson.  As incredible as it may seem, he says many women are still drawn to Manson: "A lot of women find him handsome and debonair, and they like to be around him," Gray Wolf says.

In some of the photos, taken within the last two months, Manson wears sunglasses and strikes bizarre poses.  In one he shows off the tattoos that cover his wrists, which are crossed in a pose reminiscent of a corpse laying in a coffin.  In another he appears to be preaching from a bible his friend holds.  And on each photo he signs his name with a swastika placed prominently in the middle of his signature.  

The photos were taken at the maximum security Corcoran State Prison.  Most disturbingly, his friend claims Manson is regularly receiving fan mail from teenagers.
 
Manson has never stopped seeking parole; his next parole hearing is scheduled for 2012.
