Two Thousand Maniacs! (alternative spelling 2,000 Maniacs!) is a low budget 1964 horror splatter film directed and written by Herschell Gordon Lewis. Two Thousand Maniacs! is the second part of what the director's fans have dubbed The Blood Trilogy, including Blood Feast
(1963) and Color Me Blood Red (1965).

The film has been noted for extreme gore and violence, as well as for bad direction and bad acting. Nevertheless, the film and the director attracted a cult following.
