The Manitou (trailer)

[duniakunti]

saya pernah melihat film ini pada tahun 1978 dan pernah berbincang juga dengan tetangga tentang film ini di jalan tengku bandung dahulu sekali !

[fireofhate666]

I like these old horror movies.

[MrTraumata]

aguas con el manito!!

[TheChicagoguy]

Who else is here because of AVGN

[Saucypants1000]

I cant find a copy of this movie anywhere, and that's just a shame, this should have been the first Blu Ray Sony ever produced

[andtastic1]

@Saucypants1000 search the torrent sites, it's out there no problem

[Saucypants1000]

@andtastic1

don't suppose you have a link?

[andtastic1]

@Saucypants1000 iv'e posted the link on your channel comments  :)

[BILLYRAFY]

1.58-2.04 Music like western!

[dinosoid2000]

Cool! Michael Asnara is Mr Freeze in Batman the Animated Series.

[bronzegoat1]

Burgess Meredith with a false moustache? I'm there brother!

[bronzegoat1]

Schlock at it's worst

[leomarentette]

They gotta do a remake of this one!

[samosapowis]

when i was a kid like 6-7 i wanted to watch this film as my mums boyfriend got it out i was told no cause it was too scary. so i attempted to watch it until at the moment shes about to have surgery and the tumour moved from one side of her neck to the other my sister screamed and said Nooo im telling mum on you and she stopped the video. i was like nooo. im 29 and until not i never knew it was called The Manitou im in the process of getting the film and watching where i left off! 23 years ago!

[deer22]

its not a tumah!

[BeyondEntFilms]

About 20 years ago my dad was watching this film. I crept out of my room to watch it. I hid behind the couch. This film has haunted my dreams since then but I was never able to find out what it was called. Finally! Now I can watch it again!

[samosapowis]

@BeyondEntFilms NO way. simular story to mine. at the time the video box read the tumour and recently discovered it is actually called the manitou. awesome man :)

[FiendsInRedSatin1]

And it turned out the lump on her neck was just a tumor.

[sweetiepie45766]

couldn't have took much to make this one..

[minimarshall13]

i saw this on halloween when i was 11 with my friends....... we turned it of half way trough.

[minimarshall13]

[Gideon6640man]

Based on a true story of Chief Knockahoma who later became the Mascot for the Atlanta Braves.

[mandaryyynka]

I want to say only "THE MANITOU"

:P

[kohstamojahn]

hey the head melting UP out of the table still gives me nightmares...or maybe its just the beer...neway

[susanatubilan4543]

enjoy watching the complete version regarding that video from a!v!a!t!z.net remove !

[bdazzled08]

The Trailer is SO much better than the movie! Thanks for posting. To be honest, I really did love Burgess Meredith's character—Kind of the jazzy beatnik Native-Am scholar. LOL I kept waiting for him to say something like, "Dig it, man! Lemme lay these ancient legends and poimes on ya, Jack!"

[funambulesco]

Tony Curtis doing capoeira at 1:47

[compsciguy]

Doesn't the indian creture look like that homeless guy on David Lynch's Mulholland Dr. ?

[shpared]

Thumbs up if you saw this thanks to the AVGN!

[saanzacs]

Could that be the late William Marshall (Blacula) doing the voice-over?

[bernyg79]

watching this movie thanks to netflix right now lol

[insanic1]

AVGN!!!!!!

[mafketays]

I just saw this a couple of days ago and can't believe i didn't know about it's existence previously. What a gloriously weird, fun, roller coaster ride of a movie. Not 'good' by any stretch of the imagination but a lot more fun than a lot of better movies. My life is so much richer for having seen it.

And yeah, I was thinking while watching that it's ripe for a remake, but I don't think I'd want to see it. It wouldn't have the loopy charm of the original.

[fangsteen]

Ooooooooohhh , Noooooooooooo..

[stewbie59]

One of Tony Curtis' movies that I DID see. R.I P. Tony!

[5nowba11]

For anyone whose interested, the book (and its sequels) by Graham Masterton are a damn fine read though ... this movie is just a bit a of tongue-in-cheek, light-hearted affair but the books are quite dark and Masterton's able to build the tension nicely.

[charliez61]

@5nowba11 The books of Graham Masterton is great! I like them a lot. It's sad that the movie isn't. Whit right director it could be something.

[5nowba11]

@charliez61 Yup, totally agree!  Eli Roth or such like ought to pick up the movie rights and put his directorial stamp on the movie versions.

[chocolatethunder1968]

My dad kicked my ass because I took one of his expensive ties and tied my closet door shut because I thought that damn Indian was in there just waitin to to get me!! This looks funny as hell now!! Too bad I couldnt laugh at this shit when I was 10!!!!!

[dellotti]

I must admit, I have seen worse horror movies than this.

Tony Curtis must have been at the last grasp of stardom (no offence Mr Curtis).

Interesting co-star cast by the way...

[bdazzled08]

@dellotti Hey, at least he was workin'. :-D

[xxsha77xx]

lol i remember this from wen i was wee and i was scared out my mind but could never remember the name.looks really funny now

[TheLitleVampireBat]

i have read the book series but i m not sure about the movie i may give it a try

[mettwurstinvietnam]

1:15 and 1:47 absolutely georgeous

[crackedcraig]

I love this film...it's so gloriously tacky. :)

[wookie72]

I wrote before that it looks like they're on the set of Star Trek at the end... I think now it was actually just Susan Strassberg's nephew's bedroom. He really went all out with those glow-in-the-dark star stickers.

[wookie72]

Michael Ansara... in the long and shameless tradition of vaguely ethnic actors playing Native Americans!

Plus a special appearance by Burgess Meredith!

[linkuei83]

This is the film version of the book named after it writen by Graham Masterton. Even today, 30+ years apart the book is still very good and i would suggest reading it. The Sleepless and Walkers are also worth your time.

[funambulesco]

1:47 Tony Curtis doing capoeira

[ScarlegXD]

@funambulesco jajajajajajaja XD that was good xD

[kcmet79]

Oscar caliber performance at: 1:15 - 1:18

[leomarentette]

Ummm....it's like Sitting Bull from Hell. I gotta see this one again.

[Adsworlds]

Great movie from the famous argentinian tv cicle "Sábados de super acción". Excelent, brilliant. Stella Stevens... she was for a crime, don't you think? ;)

[motherflange]

"Innocent people tormented by terror!" - Don't they just.

[DJProjexion]

Burgess Meredith!!!

[Penetzi]

This was brilliant.. An alltime classic!!!

[mohairsammy]

Just watched this a couple of weeks ago -- absurdly entertaining in all the right ways!

[nma52b]

Tony Curtis' agent: "Hey Tony, have I got a movie for you. It's like the Exorcist, but with Indians and Lasers!"

[insdmia]

@nma52b To paraphrase Star Wars, which is the bigger fool: the agent or the actor who says, "Sure, I'll do it." Memo to Mr. Curtis: if you recall what you were on when you accepted this role, please pass it to the left hand side.

[tomonsterboy]

A girl I know once turned on tv and caught the scene where the old woman freaks out on T, Curtis and started that dance. She freaked out BAD and it upset her so she cried! This girl is like Janis Joplin-style tough-as-nails. Same thing happened to me before X-mas on the Chiller episode of a story called "Bitter Harvest". Upset me for days!

[Kimmell2009]

This movie scared me to death when I saw it as a kid!

That indian coming outta her back still is sooooo scary!

[kohstamojahn]

Since Hollywood has run out of original ideas and is on a roll remaking everything it can, I hope someone will think about remaking this movie and being truer to the book.

[EdgeRatedR007]

the book is waaaay better

[kohstamojahn]

You read the book -- Yes, infinitely better than the film

[EdgeRatedR007]

yes i have and it was kinda scary since i was about 12 when i read it

[comp299]

"Here , wear this"

"What's this for?"

"Protection"

"Oh , I thought it was seasoning"

Movie making magic , a must see .

[gahrzahk]

Man, what state hospital was I drooling in when this stinkaroo came out? I was on top with this crap when it came out in the theatres.

[aquaristic]

Frightening be the powers of the old medicine man; whispers of his rain dance blow across the sands.

Guardian of the elder spirits summoning the storm, awaiting his arrival Manitou of flesh is born!!!

[Yawaya12]

What an excellent Lovecraftian story. It's too misunderstood-- People think it and the novel's ability to be darkly comedic and make fun of themselves is a downside... How sad.

[kohstamojahn]

THANK YOU! Finally, someone else who actually READ the story. Darkly fantastic tale.

[4skorand7]

Part 2/ So eyes whitened with Visine, and ciggies in hand, we escaped my dad, only to find ourselves totally wasted, sitting in the walk in theatre to watch this flick! This movie blew our minds! Especially, when the Manitou crawls out of the ladie's back, and plops onto the floor, and also when she battles it in space, with fully exposed large bres-sis-sis! Years later, that day is still burned in my mind. One crazy movie! I thought it was actually pretty well done. Loved the stair scene!

[VariedInterest]

Great anecdote.

[4skorand7]

I will never forget being 18, sitting in the tool shed in my back yard, bonging weed with my 2 friends, (preachers kids), and all of the sudden, having my dad walk back there, yelling,"are you guys smoking pot?? We are all, Noooooooo!, lighting up cigarettes to kill the smell, as my one friend is dumping the bong water out the little window, only to find he's dumping it RIGHT behind my dad's back! How we got out of that? ??? I then had the odasity to ask my dad if we could go to the movies!

[dethtiger]

LOL :D

[shawbros]

@4skorand7

He was just asking because he wanted some of it. But you guys were too selfish with it. :-(

[stevebrookstein]

i got to say when i saw this I was 10. I thought it was wicked! doesn't look that great now lol

[kohstamojahn]

You were ten -- doesnt that explain it all?

[ukmonk]

the book was awesome and the sequel was even better if i remember correctly!!

revenge of the manitou! :)

[MythofDemocracy]

Amazing, the trailer is cut like a comedy not a horror film.

[YamotoSan]

Oh, and how could I forget:

"JOOOOOOHHHHHHNNNNNN!!!"

LOL

[YamotoSan]

"Goodbye John Singing Rock."

"Goodbye Harry Erskine."

LOL

Mucho thanks for posting this trailer, deadenddrivein!

I bought the DVD last month and I've watched it 5 or 6 times and was thoroughly entertained. Especially by Stella Stevens' KISS boots and how Tony Curtis resembles Colin Newman from Wire LOL

"Listen, Hughes: I'm gonna take you and your staff out in the alley..." LOL

[pookie67]

whooooo!!!!!

[kobyashi45]

YUP, Remember seeing this and having the Shit scared outta me and having to ride my bike home in the dark afterwards....lol

[rambos2ndcousin]

Lol,

this was brought out the year after i was born and remember clearly seeing it when i was about 5-6yo... It did scare the shit out of me but from then to this day, i've called my big Sis MANITOU as she's had this small deformed lump stuck to her ear lob since she was born:)

[WojtekB666]

Świetny

[Tiiggii]

hmah JOOOHN!!!

that was great performance

[kickAbooJoyjuice]

ahhahahahah nice

[harriter88]

possibly the worst movie ever made.So bad it's good.Ah Gitchie!goodbye john singing rock,goodbye Harry Erskine.the great old one the great Devourer

[Tralman1965]

How did Mystery Science Theater 3000 miss this one?

[mrshrubber]

"JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHN!"

ROFL

[zombiblogia]

Perfect review of the film, deadenddrivein! That's the whole film in a couple of sentences.

XDXDXD

[thetruerock]

Hahaha I remember seeing this in the drive-in when it came out and remember it scaring the shit out of me. Now that I look back after all these years I realize theres so much cheese in it to give the healthiest person a heart attack. I need to own this on dvd!!!!!

[tinrooflighthouse]

All I can remember of this movie is the lady floating down the hallway and "It was built on an ancient Indian Burial ground " line. I believe I'm correct on the latter and if so Stephen King has borrowed story ideas more than once.

[kcmet79]

don't forget about the lady then falling down the stairs and rapidly taking out each of the staircase spindles with her face. lol.

[kindersczenen]

How can movies this bad have music composed by some of the best composers?! Schifrin, Goldsmith...the list goes on. It's a shame to listen to (sometimes) great scores while watching a movie that's sooooooo bad that sometimes it's only a little good.

[tapthat2012]

i have a tv trailer i'm gonna post soon. remember when this came out----but still havent seen it

[kcmet79]

PANAH!

WITCHI!

SALITU!

[deadenddrivein]

you got it, dude. be careful how you use your newfound powers or you might just find yourself naked in outer space hurling purple laser bolts from your fingertips.

[kcmet79]

lol

[kohstamojahn]

@deadenddrivein "AND an old lady floats down the hall!"

[wookie72]

Also, I'm pretty sure that's the narrator from Superfriends.

[MadScout]

Nope. Ted Knight (The Mary Tyler Moore show, Too Close For Comfort) narrated Superfriends.

[wookie72]

Knight was the narrator on the original show. But the "All new Super Friends" (the one with the Wonder Twins) had a different narrator, and I'm certain that it's this guy.

[wookie72]

Combined with the musical cue, the last clip makes it look like they just stepped onto the set of Star Trek.

[chefandew]

The Manitou celebrating mexican history month!!!!!

[airons1972]

lol. man thats mental. wtf is that doorway in space doing at the end?

[a4u7g1e]

i saw this as a kid. the outer space/operating room battle at the end with magic lasers is still pretty awesome.

[fredw3745]

what the f--k? I definately gotta get this one! Another one for our 'bad movies'nights!

[annacarina]

Brilliant!!!

[DarkAngel182]

That's it, I'm sold. Must buy DVD....

:)
