2000 MANIACS (1964). Put off by misplaced road signs, some Northern travelers find themselves arriving in a Southern town's Celebration as "Guests of Honor", but they soon have nothing to celebrate about. Second film by HG Lewis/David Friedman after the phenomenal success of BLOOD FEAST is about as gruesome with the same horrible acting/production values (even some of BF's cast), but 2M does have some scenes that have style and can be nerve wracking, particularly a Local showing one of the guests his skills with implements. Also, see if You don't find Yourself singing along with the Pleasant Valley Boys "Yeeeee-HAH! The South's gonna rise again!" **1/2
