Created with early movies such as 2000 Maniacs (1964) or Deliverance (1972), this unofficial sub-genre plays on the myth that backwoods and remote countryside are populated with inbred freaks and maniacs. The sub-genre, which became famous with the success of Texas Chain Saw Massacre, often features families or clans of crazies, and often treat of cannibalism.
