Two Thousand Maniacs! (1964) is a low budget splatter Horror Film written and directed by Herschell Gordon Lewis. It is the second part of the informal "Blood Trilogy", following Blood Feast and followed by Color Me Blood Red. It is known for its scenes of full-color gore and torture, which together with its B-Movie quality direction and acting earned the film a cult following. The name of the alternative rock band 10,000 Maniacs is a Shout-Out to the film.
