| - Manos: The Hands of Fate (written in promotional material "Manos" The Hands of Fate) is a film written, directed, produced by and starring American fertilizer salesman Hal Warren. Made in 1966 as the result of a bet, he intended to make a successful horror film on a shoestring budget. The result was a movie considered among the worst films ever made. After a failed debut, the film remained in almost complete obscurity until 1992 when it was featured in an episode of the television comedy series Mystery Science Theater 3000. While many today have seen the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version, the film as it was originally presented is also available on DVD, released by budget label Alpha Video. In 2006 a Portland, Oregon theatre company, Last Rites Productions, did a play based on the story. In 2009 Troma Entertainment Director/Comedian Tony Trombo remixed the original Manos into a comedy by replacing the dialog and music with his own, retitling it Manos: The Fans of Hate. The new version is avaialable on DVD from Amazon.com.[1]
