A Very Young George Michael

It must be a unique feeling to have the film you starred in be declared the worst in movie history, but that's what Entertainment Weekly called Manos: The Hands Of Fate. Manos was a low-budget horror movie made in 1966, and it's not surprising that it holds the status of being the stinker that it is, considering that the guy who produced it was a fertilizer salesman and had to make it as the result of losing a bet. Every penny of its $19,000 budget is right up there on screen:

The story revolves around the tried and true horror trope of some people getting lost in Texas who come upon a creepy cult of pagans, led by Neyman as "The Master." The finished product came, went, and faded into complete obscurity. It would be Tom Neyman's only acting role. With the film having been off everyone's radar for almost 30 years, Tom was surprised when nodding off one night and seeing Comedy Central's Mystery Science Theater 3000 begin playing Manos -- the hosts tearing the film apart scene by scene.

The episode is widely considered a high point of the series, and catapulted the movie back into the spotlight, helping it get released on DVD and Blu-Ray.

Neyman was even filming a sequel to the movie at the time of his death, for the 50th anniversary. And why not? The guy made something that, intentionally or not, brought joy to millions of people. Embrace that shit.
