A BUCKET OF BLOOD (1959) ¢ ¢ ¢

A busboy in a beatnik coffeehouse longs to mix with the hipsters by being a cool artist. He has no talent at all, but he has a stroke of luck. In a moment of morbid inspiration, he sculpts the figure of a dead cat by molding a layer of clay over the carcass of a real dead cat. Now his work's being hailed for its disturbing realism, but what will he do for an encore? A legendary Roger Corman cheapie, shot in five days on a budget of $50,000, a no-frills black comedy that casually spoofs the pseudo-bohemian culture Corman had observed firsthand. Crazy, offbeat fun, with B-movie mainstay Dick Miller in his most celebrated role.
