TWO THOUSAND MANIACS!
FREAKY FRIDAYS: YOUR MONTHLY FIX OF CULT FILM
"This is a real odd duck — inspired by Brigadoon, of all things, with a score that alternates between cheesy midnight-movie organ and high-spirited bluegrass — but its bloodthirsty hicks have become a genre standard."
—Chicago Reader
The Southern hamlet of Pleasant Valley was the scene of a massacre during the Civil War. Once every hundred years the ghosts of the dead return and wreak havoc. Three Yankee couples are lured to the centennial of the tragedy, which turns into a murderous parody of rural celebration, as the guests are dismembered, barbecued, stoned and otherwise inventively dispatched. The last living pair, Tom and Terry, attempt to escape the bloodshed.
