2001maniacsfieldtitlethumbWriter/director Tim Sullivan sent along a few new, exclusive pics (see ’em below) from his sequel to 2001 MANIACS, which has altered its moniker. Originally 2001 MANIACS: BEVERLY HELLBILLYS, it now bears the subtitle FIELD OF SCREAMS, and the movie is having its first screenings at next month’s American Film Market in LA.

The story follows the happily murderous residents of Pleasant Valley as they trek west and encounter a reality-TV crew that seeks to exploit them, precipitating a new bloodbath. “I truly believe this film has exceeded the first in every way possible,” Sullivan says. “It’s an over-the-top ride filled with sexiness, bloodiness and lots of politically incorrect humor. If the original didn’t secure me a warm spot in hell, this one will for sure.” Bill Moseley takes over for the original’s Robert Englund as Mayor Buckman, and the cast also includes returnees Lin Shaye and Christa Campbell, REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA’s Nivek Ogre (first photo with Sullivan), Ahmed Best (second photo), Asa Hope, Adam Robitel and Katy Johnson (third photo). Come back tomorrow for some exclusive comments from Moseley on taking the Buckman role, and see the sequel’s Facebook page here.

    Tim did and outstanding job on this, he couldn't have picked better actors. Bill Moseley has out done himself in this film. All the characters’ in this film didn't an outstanding performance. My head off to all of them. Tim what's next, dude. Take care and looking forward to the next film.

    Im not even sure why Sullivan did this....Maybe Englund decided to retire from movies being we haven't heard much from him either. Not in this sequal nor in the nightmare remake...

    Somethings up.

    Regardless, I as well think Sullivan is great. He understands the horror genre. So we'll wait and see what happens. And although Mosely isn't Englund by any means, hes still a great choice nonetheless.

    Hey,

    Looking forward to it as I enjoy Tim Sullivan's work (and respect him as a fellow Queer horror nut) and I enjoyed the original; But what prompted the change in actors from Robert Englund to Bill Moseley as Mayor Buckman?!
