I've looked at and studied on other people who are still alive and out in the world who are known for playing a part in a film that either Mystery Science Theater or Rifftrax had given the business to. A few of them embrace the unique sort of fame and others prefer to leave the past in the past and be left alone. I am one of those who embrace this role in pop culture and have been heard to say, "If you can't make the best of it, make the best of the worst". A really crazy thing is that I've been in two riffed films. Manos: The Hand of Fate made famous through MST, and The Curse of Bigfoot, a lesser title with Rifftrax. They had no relation to one another at all, and for me were about ten years apart in different parts of the country. One in Texas and the other in California, but my dad was a factor in both.
Although Manos has taken me places, I have yet to be invited to conventions or screening of Curse of Bigfoot and thats just fine. The truth of that one is, I've never watched it all the way through because it really is just so awful. I'm just an extra in one scene anyway, but still, weird. Another odd thing is that now because of my association with Manos, I am appearing in another bigfoot film. This time, it's a really good film and I have more screen time, as Vera, a woman hosting a tipi ceremony at her home. It will have a one night premiere through Fathom Events. Very worth checking out. Find Primal Rage: The Legend of OhMa at a theater near you for Tuesday night February 27th https://www.amctheatres.com/movies/primal-rage-bigfoot-reborn-55908 Check out the trailer here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gDpTCpJ5Mk
The opportunities that have come from being part of Manos and the people I've met are an astoundingly surreal experience. An experience which I am just now settling into, as many of the projects which have come my way are coming to fruition all at once.
I got to be a judge for the 15 second Horror Film Challange this year and it was absolutely an incredible experience. A film in 15 seconds? What!? Just loved viewing them over and over and pairing it down to my favorites. Again...an entire film in 15 seconds? Check it out and if you are a filmmaker or aspiring to be one, this is worth thinking about. Enter next year. http://15secondhorror.ca/
Gonna say Debbie Comic Book and leave that right there just like that for a bit. Soon, very soon.
...and I believe that by this time next week, we'll have more news on our sequel film Manos Returns and where it will be premiering.
If you are close by these places, please come visit with me at https://www.cinemawasteland.com/cinemashow/guests.html in Cleveland Ohio and https://www.meadowlarkcomiccon.com/guests in Medford Oregon. I will be announcing other appearances soon.
