"Most memorable is the way in which Corman and Griffith deliciously satirize both Beatniks and artists, who are portrayed as pretentious, exclusionary, and not-just-a-little nutty. No wonder there are murders going on!" -- Film Fanatic


Roger Corman's low-budget satire of 1950s counterculture is an overlooked horror classic. B-movie mainstay Dick Miller is Walter Paisley, the nerdy busboy at a Bohemian café. Walter is jealous of the talent, and popularity, of its various artistic regulars. In a desperate attempt to join the beatnik bohemian clique, he decides to make his own artwork, but his choice of medium turns out to be murder.

Wikipedia

A Bucket of Blood is a 1959 comedy horror film directed by Roger Corman and starring Dick Miller. The film, produced on a $50,000 budget, was shot in five days, and shares many of the low-budget filmmaking aesthetics commonly associated with Corman's work. Written by Charles B. Griffith, the film is a dark comic satire about a socially awkward young busboy at a Bohemian café who is acclaimed as a brilliant sculptor when he accidentally kills his landlady's cat and covers its body in clay to hide the evidence. When he is pressured to create similar work, he becomes murderous.
