Crazy.

This individual received a box of 16mm and 35mm prints of various titles. One of which being the beautiful trainwreck that is Manos: The Hands of Fate. The original owners attempted to auction off the box of prints on eBay with no success. But now, the new owner quite possibly owns the best copy of Manos ever known.

Fun story. Gives a bit of background about the production of the movie (including why every frame looks like someone’s last-known photograph, to quote Mystery Science Theater 3000) as well as the owner’s project to release Manos on Blu-Ray.

Pictured above:

Awesome.
