Mourning The Master, Tom Neyman (1935-2016)

The Master from Manos The Hands of Fate
Tom Neyman as The Master in Manos The Hands of Fate (1966)
I'm sad to report that Tom Neyman, who portrayed the mesmerizing Master in Manos: The Hands of Fate, has died.

His daughter Jackey Neyman Jones, who was also in the cult film, broke the news in a Facebook post that he passed away on Nov 12, 2016.

“My dad, The Master from Manos The Hands of Fate passed away last night when his heart stopped. He has now transcended to become Manos. I miss my dad. He was such a gentle, sweet, humble and loving man.”
This will make the release of the upcoming sequel a bittersweet moment for not only his family and those involved in its production but also to the many fans of Manos. Unfortunately, it's the second time a Manos cast member has died before his movie's release. John Reynolds, who portrayed Torgo in the original film in 1966, died about a month before that film's premiere.

The woman is a cocky trickster, and it was only a matter of time before she would get burned. But I will give mad props just seeing for once, a character actually recognizing the situation is too dangerous, and their best option would be to retreat. Unfortunately for Ghost Girl, Revolver knows how to make his place secured, trapping her inside where her only option left is to defeat him. Revolver ain’t gonna fall for your cutesy tricks Yet at the same time, Ghost Girl also very well ma...

'Manos Returns' Teaser #2

The good news is a new teaser for Manos Returns has been released and it looks and sounds creepy, thanks to a spooky rendition of Row Row Row Your Boat . The bad news is it doesn't look like the sequel will be ready in time for the 50th anniversary of Manos: The Hands of Fate , as originally planned. I think the new plan is for Manos Returns to premiere sometime in 2017. Don't worry though. To paraphrase Torgo, "It will be done soon."
