| Bucket Of Blood |
(film clips)
|
played throughout entire show | Bucket Of Blood - dir: Roger Corman, 1959. Walter Paisley, the buffoonish, naive and not-all-there busboy at The Yellow Door coffeehouse, is envious of the artistic talent and popularity of its "sophisticated" bohemian patrons. But after misinterpreting popular beat poet Maxwell's surreal readings, Walter finds odd justification in encasing the bodies of animals and people he has murdered (inadvertantly... at first) in clay and exhibiting them as sculptures. Walter becomes the new scenester hero of the cafe, and is on his way towards becoming a huge art star... but will his sick art secret be discovered? With Dick Miller, Barboura Morris, Antony Carbone, Julian Burton, Ed Nelson, John Brinkley, John Herman Shaner, Judy Bamber, Jhean Burton, more info on this hilarious film here. |
