Multiple Maniacs is a 1970 comedy film by American cult filmmaker John Waters; his second feature film. The film 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, and Cookie Mueller.
The title pays tribute to Herschell Gordon Lewis's 2000 Maniacs, as John Waters states in his book Shock Value.
Famous quotes containing the words multiple and/or maniacs:
“... the generation of the 20’s was truly secular in that it still knew its theology and its varieties of religious experience. We are post-secular, inventing new faiths, without any sense of organizing truths. The truths we accept are so multiple that honesty becomes little more than a strategy by which you manage your tendencies toward duplicity.”
—Ann Douglas (b. 1942)
“Should there be maniacs who raise the idea, they will encounter an iron fist which will leave no trace of such attempts.”
—Yitzhak Shamir (b. 1915)
