Line 6:
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.
 
''Two Thousand Maniacs!'' was remade in 2005 as ''2001 Maniacs'', starring [[A Nightmare Onon Elm Street|Robert Englund]]. A direct-to-video sequel, entitled ''2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams'' ([[The Other Darrin|which replaces Robert Englund with Bill Moseley]]), was released in 2010. It had the town going on a road trip due to the fact that there weren't enough fresh Yankees coming into town for them to kill, and coincidentally running into the cast of a reality show centered around [[Rich Bitch|wealthy socialites]] [[No Celebrities Were Harmed|Rome and Tina Sheraton]].
 
The name of the alternative rock band 10,000 Maniacs is a [[Shout -Out]] to the film.

Line 15:
* [[Bond One-Liner]]: In both the remake and its sequel, Huck says this after killing {{spoiler|the last two survivors}}:
{{quote| "Damn Yankees."}}
* [[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 Withwith 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.]]
* [[Deep South]]
* [[Excited Show Title]]
Line 23:
* [[A Fete Worse Than Death]]
* [[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 Withwith Extreme Prejudice|skewer]] [[Ass Shove|up the ass]]... yessir, there is gore here and then some!
* [[Kill'Em All]]
* [[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.
Line 30:
* [[The Savage South]]: It's hard to call these proud southerners "civilized"
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Rome and Tina in ''Field of Screams''. Strangely, they're the [[Final Girl|Final Girls]]. {{spoiler|Or not -- they get splattered by Huck's truck at the end.}}
* [[Town Withwith a Dark Secret]]
* [[Vanishing Village]]: Pleasant Valley.
* [[War Reenactors]]
