On this day in Horror History, Two Thousand Maniacs made it’s theatrical debut. One of the many cult films done by the infamous Herschell Gordon Lewis who would later go on to give the world The Wizard of Gore (1970), the film has stood the test of time to those who have dug into the inner bowels of the beloved genre. With Playboy Playmate Connie Mason, a group of deranged townspeople hell-bent on revenge, and the directorial mastermind to feed his vision, Two Thousand Maniacs would go on to inspire a new crop of demented film-makers and even spawn a celebrated sequel in 2005 starring Robert Englund.
