In Popular Culture
The Spilotro murders were fictionalized in the 1995 film Casino. However, while the Spilotros were buried in Enos, Indiana, they weren't murdered in the place they were buried, as portrayed in the film. In the film, the "bosses" have had enough of "Nicky" (Tony) and "Dominick" (Michael); and, their own crew, including "Frank Marino" (Frank Cullotta), betrays them and beats them with baseball bats, strips their clothes off and buries them while they are still breathing.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“Party action should follow, not precede the creation of a dominant popular sentiment.”
—J. Ellen Foster (1840–1910)
“The fact remains that the human being in early childhood learns to consider one or the other aspect of bodily function as evil, shameful, or unsafe. There is not a culture which does not use a combination of these devils to develop, by way of counterpoint, its own style of faith, pride, certainty, and initiative.”
—Erik H. Erikson (1904–1994)
