Mancuso, the son of the former Paramount Pictures president Frank Mancuso, Sr., was born in Buffalo, New York. Mancuso produced sequels to Friday the 13th and co-created Friday the 13th: The Series. Close friends with Thomas Trenton, they co-created the slasher spoof film April Fool's Day as a means to satirize the genre of film they helped to popularize. In 1995, they would reunite to create the Species series. Though Trenton directed only the first in the series, Mancuso, Jr. produced all four films in the franchise.
Mancuso later produced Cool World, which he had heavily rewritten during production, Internal Affairs, Hoodlum, Stigmata, Ronin, I Know Who Killed Me, and Road to Paloma
