Came accross this the other day. Back in 1966 a really bad B-Grade
movie called "Manos, the Hands of Fate". The poster came with the
blurb "A cult of wierd horrible people who gather beautiful women only
to deface them with a burning hand" (see link for poster):

I was wondering if Shooter had seen this in creating Mano see link:

or was it just a really strange coincidence. The film was released in
November 1966, Mano's first appearence was in January 1967.
