	'''Maniac''' is a 1980 cult horror slasher/splatter directed by [[Category:William Lustig\|William Lustig]] and co-written by known character actor [[Joe Spinell]]. It is mostly notable for Spinell's portrayal of a psychotic serial killer Frank Zito as well as incredible special make-up effects by genre guru [[Tom Savini]] and neo-noir dark romantic depiction of New York, all these while not being stripped of social content and sense.

	A sequel, ''Maniac 2: Mr. Robbie'' was partially filmed in 1986 but abandoned and eventually not completed after Spinnel's death in 1989. Another half-abandoned idea was the crossover with ''[[Maniac Cop]]'' franchise (though, [[Maniac Cop 2]] still has a similar character portrayed by [[Leo Rossi]], as well as being dedicated to Spinell who is nicknamed "Maniac" in the end credits). Also in 1989, movie was unofficially remade in Greece as ''[[The Sigrou Street Strangler (O stragalistis tis sigrou)\|The Sigrou Street Strangler]]''. In 2012 an [[Maniac (2012)\|official remake]] (produced by Lustig) starring [[Elijah Wood]] as Frank Zito premiered in Cannes, followed by successful theatrical and video releases in 2013.
