Growing Up with Manos: The Hands of Fate

For Jackey Neyman Jones, who played Debbie in Manos: The Hands of Fate, the â€œworst movie ever madeâ€ is, at its heart, a home movie that just happens to be shared with the world. Equal parts memoir/family saga/film book, Growing Up with Manos: The Hands of Fate shares the behind-the-scenes story of the making of Manos: from creator Hal Warrenâ€™s alleged bet with TV producer Stirling Silliphant that â€œanyone could make a movie,â€ to the tragic suicide of John Reynolds (Torgo), right up through the newest Manos-related projects that are carrying the film into the digital age. Jackeyâ€™s stories dispel much of the Manos mythology while crystallizing a unique time and place in America, where a crew of actors with a bad script and a rented camera set out to make a bad movieâ€”and succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.
