The Wizards (2017)

This page is about the movie. For the universe the movie takes place in, see The Wizards Universe

The Wizards is a film released by Pocketwatch Productions in the universe seen in Murder at Mystery Manor. Once believed to simply be a movie set within this universe, recent breakthroughs in science have proved the previously outlandish thought that The Wizards is both a movie and a separate universe. This phenomenon has only been proven to be true for movies made by Pocketwatch Productions, but adequate testing is still needed.

The film follows the quite heroic journey of Jo Daniels as he strives to become a true wizard and battle the powers of evil.

The Abyss

Jo Daniels moved his sword out to block the bullet, but the bullet curved around the sword. It was at this point that the wizard that originally attacked Jo Daniels made their surprising return, revealing themselves to be a Good Wizard. The Good Wizard quickly dashed in between Jo Daniels and the bullet, sacrificing himself. In his last moments the Good Wizard asked him to defeat the Evil Wizard.

The Evil Wizard shrugged off the lightning and enacted the final part of the ritual, plunging the world into Hell.

Trivia

 * The Wizards was the primary inspiration for George Lucas' Star Wars.
 * Pocketwatch Productions set the trend with this movie of releasing films to high school classrooms rather than theaters. This practice would dominate the market for years to come.
