2000 Maniacs (1965)


Bet you won't see this one on your local PBS station! Some young adults stumble upon a haunted town (full of people apparently killed in the Civil War) and proceed to get murdered in some creatively gruesome ways. Way ahead of its time in the blood-and-guts department, this actually the third part of Herschell Gordon Lewis' "gore trilogy" (after 1963's Blood Feast and 1964's Color Me Blood Red). Most of the special effects are good, even by today's standards, but the acting is really bad. This movie grossed me out in multiple ways.
