To whoever it was that shouted “Encore! Encore!” after watching “Manos-Hand Of Fate”, [I raise part of MY hand to you.](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5056154/) You know what they say-You just can’t keep a bad lunch down. edited to add: [Teaser trailer of Fate!](http://horrornews.net/119072/trailer-manos-returns-2016-teaser-2/) ---

Did Torgo (the original) have the same problem Popeye did, only his shins instead of fore-arms? That was even tough to watch with the MST3K guys lambasting it. ---

According to Wiki, the character of Torgo was originally supposed to be a satyr, presumably with the legs of a goat. But the actor inadvertently wore the metal rig backwards underneath his clothes, making him just look deformed. ---

What’s amazing is that it has some of the same cast. You’d think they would know better. ---

> [@burpo\_the\_wonder\_mutt](#): > > **Colibri** , I am truly sorry you had to know that/look it up. Coincidentally, I just started watching MST3000 again on Netflix and _Manos_ was the first episode. It was so weird that I checked out the Wiki article later for an explanation, especially of Torgo’s apparent deformity. Apparently his costume was supposed to include cloven hooves but he wore boots instead. ---

Joel Hodgson and/or Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, Trace Beaulieu need to put together a special episode of MST3K just for this. I, for one, would pay a lot to see that. ---

I actually thought this referenced another classic of bad film-making, the 1957 movie [From Hell It Came](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050414/reference). The monster in that is a real laugh riot. ---

Wait, if they’re re-using some of the same cast, does that mean that the movie will no longer be a Bacon isolate? Or are the new cast members also all singletons?
