A Bucket of Blood / Little Shop of Horrors

Double Feature!

A Bucket of Blood (1959)
Cult favourite Dick Miller stars as a sculptor with a peculiar "talent" for life-like artwork. Dick Miller is a nerdy sculptor whose secret is pouring wet clay over the bodies of murder victims. The resulting contorted sculptures make him a superstar among the cognoscenti. This film has fantastic similaritites with Little Shop of Horrors asn is noted for its excellent beatnik atmosphere.

Little Shop of Horrors (1960)
This seminal Roger Corman classic revolves around a geek working in a city florist shop who unknowingly cultivates an intelligent plant that demands human meat for sustenance. The film is notable for the appearance of the then unknown Jack Nicholson as a masochistic dental patient. It is a hilarious, unpretentious farce which, while reputedly filmed in three days, is amoung the funniest ever made in its genre.
