[quote author=http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3450845]I'd been tipped off about an e-bay auction that no one had bid on, probably because the freight was too high. It was boxes upon boxes of 16mm and 35mm film, titles that had lapsed into the public domain, all of which had belonged to a distributor called Emerson Films. Emerson's properties were familiar to anyone that had watched Mystery Science Theater 3000 back in the day, and on the list a few familiars jumped out at me. Six copies of The Atomic Brain in 16mm. Hamlet in 16mm and 35mm. Two copies of Manos: The Hands of Fate (Wikipedia IMDB) in 16mm.[/quote]
To give the movie a proper restoration, he launched a kickstarter site to raise funds: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1325482813/manos-the-restoration
Here is a video preview of what the final product will look like:

I'm pitching in $10.
