MANIACAL EVENING Actor Dylan Edrington attends the New York City premiere of “2001 Maniacs.” It’s an update of Herschell Gordon Lewis’s gory cult favorite “Two Thousand Maniacs!” (1964), in which Southern townspeople lure Yankee tourists into attending the centennial celebration of the day renegade Union troops destroyed the town. In the new version, Confederate ghosts exact bloody revenge on the road-tripping Northerners. The film’s co-writer and director, Tim Sullivan, and actresses Wendy Kremer and Christa Campbell also attend the screening and participate in a question-and-answer session. Tonight, 7 p.m., Two Boots Pioneer Theater, 155 E. 3rd St. at Avenue A, 212-591-0434, $9 general, $6.50 members.
