November 6, 2008

It appears Tim Sullivan's long-mooted sequel to 2001 Maniacs, 2001 Maniacs: Beverly Hellbillys will now be joined by a third chapter, 2001 Maniacs: The Hillbillys Have Eyes.

IM Global Home Entertainment has acquired the worlwide rights to both installments, both geared for the DVD market. Sullivan is being funded by the Los Angeles-based Social Capital Films and Tax Credit Finances of Rhode Island.

The sequels follow 2005's 2001 Maniacs which found eight college students traveling to Florida for Spring Break who stumble into a remote town in Georgia where they are set upon by the residents who are out to avenge their deaths by Union troops over 100 years earlier during the Civil War.

Wow you guys are ****ing retarded.

1. There is a sequel to 2001, its 2010.

2. Why would there be news on a 2001 remake on a horror site?

3. You're on a horror website and haven't heard of 2001 Maniacs? GTFO

Well, there was not only 2010 (which was already made) but 2060 and 3001.

I was hoping it would be 2060 and 3001.

I was wrong, my excitment has faded.

There, I changed the headline to avoid confusion... Whipped up that story on the run.

the South will rise! The South will rise! The south it's gonna rise again! OK I don't really believe that, but it is what stands out the most from 2001 Maniacs. That movie is great. Especially the chick with the iron jaws.

you guys are dip****s for thinking this was about 2001: But on another note,these movies are an abomination they are so bad. They are a stain on robert englunds career(which is saying a lot, cause he makes some TERRIBLE movies)

Posted by: moviewizguy on November 7, 2008 at 16:18:04

Actually, some call 2001 a horror movie because of its atmosphere, especially at the end where that scene takes place. Now that was a scary scene. So how are we stupid to think that?
