_[Manos: The Hands Of Fate](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060666/)_ is a movie. A very, very bad movie, and I’m leaving out roughly 400 more "bad"s. To simply call it a “bad movie” is like saying Hitler was a “bad person”. To put it into perspective, four of the filmmakers ended up killing themselves. Edward D. Wood Jr. was Martin fricking Scorsese compared to these guys. I know of no one who saw the original version and lived to tell. However, you can enjoy the hell out of it if, and only if, you watch the [MST3K version](http://www.atorsmst3ksite.com/ep424.html). That’s what we’ll be doing in here. :: lights flash, alarm sounds, six hallway doors leading to the theater open up :: ---
