Multiple Maniacs

Multiple Maniacs

Multiple Maniacs is a 1970 independent American black comedy horror film composed, shot, edited, written, produced, and directed by John Waters, as his second feature film. It features several actors who were part of the Dreamland acting troupe for Waters' films, including Divine, Mary Vivian Pearce, David Lochary, Mink Stole, Edith Massey, George Figgs, and Cookie Mueller. The plot follows a traveling troupe of sideshow freaks whose free shows end in the murder of their attendees. The film's title pays tribute to Herschell Gordon Lewis's Two Thousand Maniacs!, as Waters states in his book Shock Value. In 2016, American art house film distributor Janus Films and video distribution company The Criterion Collection undertook a new restoration of the film, with its preview for the restored print released for June 17, 2016 at the Provincetown Film Festival, and its national exhibition began on August 5, 2016.
