''Two Thousand Maniacs!'' (1964) is a low budget [[Gorn|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
Six Yankee tourists are lured into the quaint southern town of [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Pleasant Valley]], invited to be the guests of honor in a centennial celebration of the day [[The American Civil War|Union troops]] destroyed the town. They soon discover, however, that the festivities are nothing like they expected, as they are forced to take part in a series of extremely violent and gory games.

* [[Bury Your Gays]]: In the remake, the gay character dies [[Cruel and Unusual Death|in a cruel and sadistic manner]], but not without a hint of dark irony. He's bent over a table and has a [[Impaled With Extreme Prejudice|giant skewer]] [[Ass Shove|shoved up his rear]] until it comes out of his mouth. The old woman tasting the blood is bad enough, but if you look closely [[Squick|you can see bits of corn on the tip of the skewer.]] [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel|He had just been having a picnic minutes ago.]]

* [[Freudian Excuse]]: In ''Field of Screams'', after Val says that her mother was a prison guard (when explaining how she knows how to handle a gun), Black Cherry says that [[Lipstick Lesbian|that explains a lot]].
* [[Gorn]]: People getting drawn and quartered, getting [[Half the Man He Used To Be|sliced in half]], getting their faces ripped off, getting a [[Impaled With Extreme Prejudice|skewer]] [[Ass Shove|up the ass]]... yessir, there is gore here and then some!
* [[Kill
* [[Lipstick Lesbian]]: TV producer Val Turner in ''Field of Screams''. She indulges in filming scenes of [[No Celebrities Were Harmed|Rome and Tina]] wrestling in bikinis, and her death involves her getting seduced by one of the town's women.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: ''Field of Screams'' replaces Robert Englund with Bill Moseley for the role of Mayor Buckman.
