This horror series is based off of the 1966
cult-classic Manos: The Hands of Fate, considered by many to be the worst movie
ever made (scoring even lower on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes than The Room).
The coolest part? One of the last surviving
actors, Jackey Neyman Jones, who plays Debbie in the original film, is the star
of the new series. Despite its epically low ratings, the movie has a huge cult
following because to put it simply––it’s fascinating! If you haven't seen it
yet, you can watch the full film on YouTube, and Mystery Science Theater has a
must-watch wet-your-pants funny episode on it.
WHEN BAD BECOMES GOOD
The series creator, Willow Polson, is doing
something even more unexpected; she's taking the worst movie ever made and
turning it into a force for good! This dark reimagining focuses on what
happened after Debbie escaped the evil clutches of The Master and the
primordial god Manos. But Debbie won't have to do it all alone -- she now has a
very unique and unusual team that helps her take down evil, whatever form it
may take.
"I am always thinking about how to make
this world a better place in everything I do," Willow, who is an
award-winning producer with over 25 years experience, told us, "Each
character in the show has traits that are not normally seen in leading
characters on a show, or at all. "
The diverse female cast includes characters
that are all fully-realized complex co-stars, not just a girlfriend or
one-dimensional bait to make a main character feel things.
The series co-writer, R. D. Hall is a
multimedia writer and creator for films, comics, and music videos.
WHERE HAS DEBBIE BEEN?
In the 51 years since Manos,
Jackey has been an artist, actress and producer. She lovingly tends
to Manos with her book Growing Up With Manos The Hands Of Fate, new
film Manos Returns and personal appearances.
"I'm really looking forward to this new
venture!" says Jackey.
