Bob Gudrey (sp?) was a young photographer who wanted to make a little extra money. It showed up at the old State Theater. People involved with the film sneaked out about halfway.

I've been following the discussion of the restoration in a thread on Something Awful, and apparently someone in El Paso with theatre connections wants to try to arrange a proper cinema screening of the newly restored version. It would be appropriate if everyone involved in the restoration traveled there in one limo, with it circling the block, dropping them off one at a time...

Threadbump of this relatively-fresh zombie:

This Thursday, 8/16/12, Fathom Events is hosting "RiffTrax Live" featuring Manos: The Hands Of Fate. Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett of MST3K fame will be mocking the film LIVE (well, you know, remote video and all that) at your local movie theater. Manos on the big screen! RiffTrax! Can life get better! I submit that it can NOT!

This movie has one of my favorite MST3K lines: "Oh, no! Liturgical dancing!"

Grrr. As I understand it, they're performing it at a Nashville theater I've been to before, when I went to see Bubba Ho-Tep. Not gonna make it this time, though - BUT I'M NOT BITTER! I assume they'll make this available thru the Rifftrax store. I hope so, anyway.

Somehow I'd convinced myself they were broadcasting this one from the New York theater where I'm seeing it. Oh well. I went to the Christmas shorts broadcast a few years ago and it was a lot of fun.

Our local theater is finally going to start showing the events so I'll definitely be going tomorrow, I've had to travel about an hour to see the last few and ended up missing House on Haunted Hill because of it. Is anyone going to go to the Birdemic:Live show in October?
