A Bucket of Blood
Movie Information
In Brief: One of Roger Corman's best pictures and easily my favorite Dick Miller performance, A Bucket of Blood (1959) is an unquestionable cult classic. Few films so successfully blend black comedy and horror, and Corman's characteristic camp serves the subject matter perfectly. Charles B. Griffith's scathing script satirically skewers the beatnik subculture of the '60s, but might be just as relevant in the context of modern hipsterdom. The sets were reused for better known Corman film The Little Shop of Horrors, also written by Griffith and featuring Miller. Original promotions offered free admission to moviegoers bringing an actual bucket of blood to the box office, but this screening is free (with suggested donation) anyway, so please don't do that.
