Whichever way you cut it, that's a whole lot of maniacs.

A kind of psychotic Brigadoon, Two Thousand Maniacs! features a town of ghosts which appear every 100 years in order to slaughter passers-by.  And very inventive methods of slaughter they use too - one poor chap is sealed in nail-lined barrel and rolled down a hill.

This movie gives further proof that old horror film makers didn't know what colour blood is.  It also features the world's most unconvincing large rock.

Favourite bit:  The old man in the hat (The Mayor?) joyously burning a piece of paper in a lamp, with no explanation given whatsoever.
