New Hi-Res Images from ‘2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams’
Yesterday we revealed that Tim Sullivan’s 2001 Maniacs: Beverly Hellbillys was officially retitled to 2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams, now we’ve not only got the official press release, but we’ve also scored an exclusive look at three new hi-res stills from the pic starring Bill Moseley, Lin Shaye, Kevin “Ogre” Ogilve, Courtney Peldon, Ashley Peldon, Adam Robitel, Ahmed Best, Trevor Wright, Andrea Leon, Ryan Fleming, Dylan Edrington, Christa Campbell, Amy Baniecki and even Tony Todd.
The next installment of the widely popular “2001 Maniacs” franchise will be making its screening debut at this year’s American Film Market to be held November 4th thru 11th in Santa Monica, Ca.
Retitled “2001 MANIACS: FIELD OF SCREAMS”, the film was written and directed by Tim Sullivan (2001 MANIACS, DRIFTWOOD) and was financed by Social Capital Films and Tax Credit Finances, LLC of Rhode Island. Martin Shore and Christopher Tuffin of Social Capital Films produced through Social Capital’s horror affiliate, BloodWorks.
Sales leading into the first day of the market for “2001 MANIACS: FIELD OF SCREAMS” include Tiberius in Germany, Anchor Bay in the UK, SPI in Eastern Europe, Beyond in Australia and Falcon in the Middle East. Additional sales are expected to be announced in the coming days. Worldwide sales are being handled by Catherine Quantschnigg at IM Global Octane, which is the genre arm of Stuart Ford’s IM Global sales operation.
In the sequel, Bill Moseley (“THE DEVIL’S REJECTS”/”ROB ZOMBIE’S HALLOWEEN”) steps in as the town’s villainous patriarch, Mayor George W. Buckman. The story follows the residents of Pleasant Valley as they head West in search of new blood, only to come across an unsuspecting reality series crew who picked the wrong bunch of backwoods country folk to exploit for ratings.
“I truly believe this film has exceeded the first in every way possible,” said writer/director Tim Sullivan. “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.”

Jennifer E. Montgomery makes her feature directorial debut from a script she co-wrote with director of photography Andrew Davis, inspired by Montgomery’s first-hand experience with tragedy involving her best friend.
“Months before the incident, there were signals that her world was unraveling,” says Montgomery. “I could feel the pressure building, though I didn’t know what form it would take. I never could have known what violence would come, and I certainly never imagined making a film about it.”
Austin Stowell (“NCIS: Origins”), Suraj Sharma (Happy Death Day 2U), Mojean Aria (Reminiscence), Amol Shah (“For All Mankind”), and Zenobia Shroff (“Ms. Marvel”) round out the cast.
Smoke Jumper Films and Mango Monster Productions produce in association with Catchlight Studios (Heretic, The Blackening).
This Tempting Madness is rated R for “language, violence/bloody images, and brief sexuality.”
