Production[]

Jackey Neyman-Jones, who played Debbie in the original film, launched a Kickstarter campaign in February 2016 to make a sequel to Manos, entitled Manos Returns. According to Neyman-Jones, the sequel was not to be a recreation of Manos, but instead a "tongue-in-cheek" film that is set within the Manos storyline; Neyman-Jones described the planned product as being both funny and scary, along the lines of The Cabin in the Woods or Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.[2][3][4]

The Kickstarter goal of $24,000 was reached on February 24, 2016, and filming began thereafter. The film stars Neyman-Jones, reprising her role as Debbie, her father Tom Neyman, reprising his role of The Master and Diane Mahree reprising her role as Margaret. Neyman-Jones and director Tonjia Atomic shot the film in western Oregon[5] in the summer of 2016. The film had its world premiere screening at Crypticon Seattle on May 4, 2018.[6] Manos Returns became available on Amazon Prime in May of 2020.[7]
