2000 MANIAC / Herschell Gordon Lewis

Two Thousand Maniacs! is a 1964 American horror film written and directed by Herschell Gordon Lewis and starring 1963 Playboy Playmate Connie Mason. It follows a group of northern tourists who are savagely tortured and murdered during a centennial celebration of a small southern community.
It was the second part of what the director's fans later called The Blood Trilogy , a trio of films beginning with 1963's Blood Feast and ending with 1965's Color Me Blood Red .
The film has been noted by critics as an early example of Southern caricature in blood and guts films, as well as for its sensationalism of North-South perceptions.
The film's story was inspired by Lerner and Loewe's 1947 musical Brigadoon .
