Two Thousand Maniacs! is a low budget 1964 splatter film directed and written by Herschell Gordon Lewis. Two Thousand Maniacs! is the second part of what the director's fans have dubbed "The Blood Trilogy", including Blood Feast (1963) and Color Me Blood Red (1965).
The film has been noted for extreme gore and violence, as well as for bad direction and bad acting. Nevertheless, the film and the director attracted a cult following. It was remade in 2005 as 2001 Maniacs, starring horror legend Robert Englund. The film's title song was sung by director Lewis.
Six Yankee tourists are lured into the small southern town of Pleasant Valley by the redneck citizens to be the guests of honor for the centennial celebration of the day Union troops destroyed the town. The tourists are separated and forced to participate in various sick games which lead to their gory death.
