Multiple Maniacs is a 1970 independent American black comedy horror film[4] composed, shot, edited, written, produced, and directed by John Waters, as his second feature film and first "talkie".[5] 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 who rob their unsuspecting audience members.
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 June 17, 2016, at the Provincetown Film Festival, and its national exhibition began August 5, 2016.
