Shout! Factory, in association with Best Brains Inc., will release a two-disc special edition DVD set of MANOS: THE HANDS OF FATE on September 13. The cover art is below. It will contain both the original film and the “MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000” version. Here are the full details:
Disc 1 of the set includes Mystery Science Theater 3000: “Manos” The Hands Of Fate, and bonus features Group Therapy, wherein Joel, Trace, Frank & Mary Jo relive the horror; and MST Hour wraps. Disc 2 offers the original “Manos” The Hands Of Fate feature film, and bonus features Hotel Torgo, a documentary on the making of Manos; Jam Handy To the Rescue!: a Ballyhoo production; Hired! short film; and more!
The 1966 low budget horror film is often considered one of the worst movies of all time, so naturally it was the perfect candidate for MST3K’s comedic commentary treatment. Harold P. Warren wrote, directed, produced and starred in the infamous film, the only one of his entire lifetime.
A family driving through a small town gets lost and winds up at a backwoods shack managed by Torgo, who takes care of it while The Master is away. The Master worships Manos, an evil deity, and he also wears a neat cape. When Torgo lets the family stay, The Master awakens and does mean stuff like burning off Torgo’s hand and sicking his dog on the family pet. Meanwhile, The Master’s wives wrestle for his favor.
