E. Hoffmann Price[edit]

Was this movie based on the short story The Hands of Manos by E. Hoffmann Price? 209.112.210.129 (talk) 22:45, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

wiki indicates story came out in a 1975 compilation, but perhaps published in a mag sometime earlier. how MUCH earlier? have more details?

movie was 1966. so it seems unlikely a priori. 209.172.23.107 (talk) 23:04, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Camera Workprint" is a nonsense.[edit]

I have removed a reference to the restored version being taken from an "original camera" workprint since this is a nonsensical phrase. There is was camera original (usually a negative but in this case positive) which was an Ektachrome stock in this case, but a workprint is a copy of that on a positive print stock (In the 60s called Film Print or Fine Grain, the film can in the manosinHD article says "fine print and is branded "Gevaert" a Belgian manufacturer of film stock who merged with German firm Agfa in the 1960s.

None of the articles linked to claim the copy found is the camera original, and one makes claim to the print showing the "Ektachrome image" but this is likely a reference to it reproducing the Ektachrome original via the print stock. Given the volatility of camera stocks, it's likely the original footage has rotted away to nearly nothing by now. Verlaine76 (talk) 22:59, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Capri Theater photo is incorrect[edit]

As a Mystery Science Theater 3000 fan, I stumbled across this page and was amused to find the photo of the Capri Theater. That is NOT the Capri Theater in Texas where the movie premiered; it's the Capri Theater in Shelbyville, Tennessee, walking distance from my office, where I've been seeing films since the 1970s.
