Manos Returns

By Rachel Jackson and Tonjia Atomic

50 years after Hands of Fate, we return to the world of Manos to learn that evil is indeed permanent.

Four friends get lost on a road trip and stumble on a hidden cult formerly led by the sinister Master and his servant Torgo. As they try to escape, they are caught up in the power struggle between Debbie (given to Manos as a child 50 years ago), her mother Maggie, and the other souls twisted by their time serving the dark god. Can they break away from the mysterious pull of Valley Lodge before it's too late?

"The future of your favorite horror franchises just got weirder."

- Horror Addicts

"...a tight and crazy script..."
