Pop culture wasn't ALL good in 1966. There was some that, in fact, was so BAD...that it turned out good. MANOS: THE HANDS OF FATE was an ineptly made regional horror film of the type often found being marketed direct-to-DVD today. It had no known actors and even the local guy who played the "monster" character committed suicide before the film's premiere!
That said, it was rediscovered as a cult classic on a now-famous episode of MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 in 1993! For much more info, check out the movie's Wikipedia page!
And, you should point out, that they are releasing an enhanced print of this "film" thanks to some recently found footage, AND working on a squeal. I kid you not.
