Great upload!! Can't thank you enough.

[TheTeamLiam]

just reading the book scared the heck-outta me - maybe not a good time to watch it now - Abbie

[flipinwotsit]

The series of books by Graham Masterton are much better...most of his horror novels are great. Family Portrait and that one where the demons live in the walls and a bunch of people hunt them down in their dreams...3 books..great..

[RedPanda1972]

saw this when I was little surprised I remember this far and didn't forget it !!!!

glad I found it again ....

[axecalibore]

A big favorite with me. Spiffy score, wonderful cast, great 70s fun!

[Saucypants1000]

First of all thanks so much for uloading this hidden gem but I really wish the audio lines were in sync with the actors

[NonDramaZone]

Been looking for this one for years. Thanks!

William Girdler. Maker of such fine films as Abbey, Grizzly and 3 On A Meathook!

Must resist urge to skip to end to watch boobies.

[evilkeeble1]

Graham Masterton is my all time favourite author

i have yet to watch your transfer, but I saw this in the late 70's broadcast on the TV (maybe it was just the commercial) and my aunt was there and for many years she used to point to the top window in the barn and mention the "MANITOU" woooohhhh in a scary voice. It used to scare us kids. Thanks for posting the whole movie, can't wait to see the whole thing. Peace

[tylerclifford65]

this flicks great. scarier than most stuff today

[nymshade]

the sound is off a wee bit isnt it?

[stigie68]

i loved this film as a kid, man i liked some crap lol

[levalpat]

this movie is so bad that it is great.... considering the stars and the budget, it ranks as one of the worst movies of all time.... horrendously marvelous

[70GoodGirl]

Thanks for posting this old school horror joshfantoo! I haven't seen this movie since I was a kid; it was terrifying to me back then but funny now I'm old!! ;-D

[saanzacs]

RIP Tony Curtis and Susan Strasberg

[IKnowTheWayToSanJose]

Love it when he changes the music and cracks open the can of beer

[fraufoote]

Masterton wrote some great pulp demon/supernatural horror in the 70's and 80's. Yes, the story is silly in some ways but his writing style is so matter-of-fact in delivery that you actually feel as though you are there. This is not a bad film if you are prepared to leave your modern day standards at the door and just enjoy it for what it is. Yes, the ending is a bit spacey but then it did come out the year after "Star Wars". Deffo worth an ultra-real gritty remake.. but please, no handycam.

[DvnWood]

Best part is the apparent "two-syllable" limiter they ran the audio track through.

[RETROGEMS]

I just finished a book by Masterton called "Manitou Blood" which is about a vampire plague that envelops Manhattan. The plot was a bit silly but it was REALLY exciting and Masterton's an excellent writer. When I read the character descriptions for "Harry Erskine", Tony Curtis popped into my head and I didn't even know anything about this movie, until after I was finished with the book, LOL! Good casting, lol.

[spraymalathionjerry]

This was a pretty good horror/ sci-fi film. Thanks for posting it.

[ocossa]

Great movie, I agree with you on the older movies, there are a lot of great ones out there. Thank you also for the friend invite

[IMAspiringToGrace]

LOL, I was just watching Kolchak when I happened to think of this movie, so I googled it and found these posts!

I ran to get the cold pizza out of the fridge. Thanks SO much!!!!!!!!

[nekidbob]

Saw this movie at the old Warner Theater, with my best friend as a young boy in my hometown of Lynchburg, Va. We laughed our ass off at the midget monster. Do you have the movie Prophecy, about the mutant bear ? I think Talia Shire starred in it.

[punkgabe]

wtf the words get cut off lol

[HallowedHoly]

I remember this from being really, really young... It was also one of the 1st horror novels I ever read...!!

[halsamdu]

tHANKS FROM iTALY

[elsoda]

[grainofsandfan]

Yes. The sound is terrible.

[scumbucket22]

[Hi8films]

I went to the drive in with my older cuzzin, to see a double featyre, it was fantasm, and the manitou, I was scared as hell, to top it off my cuzzin had me smoke a fat ass joint. i will never forget it that nite.

[moviepal01]

C.B.S. Friday Late Movie heaven! 11 years old glass of coke,left over pizza, and Kolchak: The Night Stalker and then a horror movie,was there anything better? lol great post

[joshfantoo]

Cool i am glad you liked it. for me it was hot chocolate and Elvira. Boy! I miss her

boobs.

[chyrd]

@joshfantoo Oh Elvira... how I loved thee... lol

[nymshade]

@joshfantoo :\ thats great and all but elvira is my 3rd cousin and i find that kinda...disturbing

[oatstao]

Lalo shifrin really lets when he lets loose. Nice track and I didn't realize this had a good heft of comedy in it. :D superb! THe audio is a bit freaky though, sounds at times like we are listening to the Stenographers remix. ;) somehow your processing made the gods of youtube mad.

[native138]

I love this movie. I seen it a long time ago when I was little. Scary native!

[tomonsterboy]

I don't know where Masterton got his subject material for the story, but I can assure you that this subject matter is NOT taken lightly by Native American principle. The lizard-beast, is in fact, quite real within some cultures. It must have human flesh before it can return from where it came. Has something to do with trees. It's all hocum, but quite frankly, well...truth IS really stranger than fiction!

[theScytheofGod]

Josh, do you have the film, The Incubus, from the '80s? Love that one, been looking for it for years.

[rpcarnell]

She is going to give birth to Danny DeVito

[cthe7thman]

that woman sex partner is gonna be pretty upset when he see that Huge bump

[Husars]

I read book Graham Masterton "Manitou". Excellent horror.

[jonnypk777]

yeah totally agree with Bull. Great movie. The book's very good. As per usual the film doesn't do it justice but still great.

[joshfantoo]

thankyou very much glad you liked it.
