Yeyyy :-D
“I am Torgo. I take care of the place while the Master is away.”
…and when the release the DVD version, I will have bought MANOS on DVD no less than five times…
Torgo, you’re the laziest man on Mars!
Well you know….”Manos”. The hands of fate? Yes.
Maybe they’ll do the live show in Chicago? Pretty please???????
Seconded hoping for Chi-town, but I’m going to start setting aside money for tickets now.
There was a lot of speculation about wgat they were going to do with Manos, everybody was hoping for a live event, and the Master listened to us!
I wonder if they are using restored footage from the Manos: The Restoration Project or the “original” faded transfers first used on MST3K. Either way, I’m looking forward to this, it’s been too long since the last Rifftrax Live show.
I’m guessing, that with some of the guarded comments Ben Solovey(the guy doing the restoration) made, they will be doing it with restored footage.
Another reason why living in Argentina sucks.
Totally rad to the max.
AMC in Clifton NJ had better be showing this!
Woo hoo! Between this announcement and the Vol. XXIV titles, it’s a good day to be a MSTie.
Awesome! This Manos news keeps geting better and better!
They should make a new version of MST3K: Essentials with the Rifftrax of Manos Hands of Fate and the Cinematic Titanic of Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.
Confirmation of Manos in HD (if it wasn’t evident already):
“It will be HD, and it will be new jokes, of course! Don’t want to anger The Master!”

Is it too early for me to set up a tent like a total fanboy outside the theater or is that just inviting the chance that come August they will find a skeleton (a fat skeleton, but a skeleton nonetheless) wearing a Crow t-shirt in the bushes of the Florence Mall cinemas?
Fantastic news. This, along with the next series of MST titles AND Corman’s World out now? It’s like I’ve died and gone to a very nerdy Heaven.
I sincerely hope some of the CT gang comes along for the ride too. This is the best possible way the two groups could collaborate.
I’m givin this one my highest rating 5 skulls!!! woohoo
The Master Will not Be Pleased with this . . . .
(But the rest of us will)
That’s the day after my birthday! I sure hope it comes to my area again, that’d be a great present!
#19: A man can dream.
I’m assuming this will also be the uncut version complete with the Master slapping his bride repeatedly and Hal Warren suddenly tumbling down a hill.
August looks pretty good to me right about now. It’ll start with the Wayne County Fair, finish up with Star Wars Celebration VI, and have “Manos” between them.
Mike tweets that it’s not Ben Solovey’s restoration, but a very good theatrical print.
This is the Thursday of Gen Con. I bet there will be a large contingent of fellow nerds making the trek to the closest Fathom theater that night…
I am soooo there.
Now all they have to do is finally release their last live show, Jack the Giant Killer, and the extended Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny!
STEAM!!!
In the Ben Solovey’s version, are the Wives replaced with Ewoks and do they beat each other with walkie-talkies?
@25: Oh yes, Manos Riff Trax Live and SW C6. August will be good!
@30: Torgo now screams “Noooo!” as well.
Per Michael J Nelson:
“A few people have asked so just to clarify, our upcoming “Manos” The Hands of Fate live show with Fathom is unrelated to the HD-restoration of “Manos” fronted by Ben Solovey. His project is still going on, looks fantastic and information is available here. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1325482813/manos-the-restoration
As it is, our version for the Fathom show is a very nice theatrical print (I’m quite sure you’ll prefer it over the available VHS versions) but IS NOT his print.
When his immaculate restored print becomes available, I will be one of the first in line to get it! (I will be dressed as Torgo in an attempt to curry favor. But then so will everyone else in line, including the women.)”
Score! I’m totally going to be on the look out for this one! The fact it’s also coming out on DVD later is just a bonus. I’ve been really liking their Live DVD releases.
I can’t wait! I’ll be bringing all of my wives, er, I mean “friends” to the event.
By the way, I believe the fitting locale for this event would be in a theater in El Paso since Manos was filmed there. (Sorry Chicago.)
Excellent! I can’t wait! :yes:
I wonder if they borrowed Quentin Tarantino’s print?
I’m sad it isn’t the restored version because you can see Diane Mahrey (the wife) oh so much better. But bring it on guys! Can’t wait!
Hal Warren directed “MANOS the Hands of Fate”. Here’s more information: http://www.HalWarren.info
