“But if you’d have shot me, you’d be moppin’ up my blood now.”
A Bucket of Blood is a nice little Corman horror film. It plays better than many of his other non-Poe, non-Price films. It’s the story of a “backwards” busboy in a beatnik dive trying to fit in by becoming an artist. His creations are the talk of the joint. But just how is the seemingly talentless busboy able to create such realistic images of death?

Dick Miller plays the busboy in one of the few feature roles I remember seeing him in. The mix of emotions he imbibes into his character is a highlight of the film. At one moment he’s confused, the next a raving lunatic. Corman kept the screenplay simple and it works. I’ve seen too many low budget directors try to creative effects, etc. that their budgets just do not allow. Corman doesn’t do this. This one is definitely recommended to fans of the 50s quickie horror films.

Horror comedy of different clay!
Not including almost every entry in the terrific Edgar Allen Poe cycle he did, “A Bucket of Blood” unquestionable is Roger Corman’s best and most entertaining film. And – coincidentally or not – this movie also contains many references towards Poe (a walled-up cat!!), so maybe Corman simply needs the legendary horror author’s oeuvre in order to deliver great movies? “A Bucket of Blood” is a truly slick and ingenious little quickie that terrifically blends the classic terror premise of “Mystery of the Wax Museum” with the typical psychotronic-humor that Corman largely invented himself. Corman regular Dick Miller (terribly underrated throughout his whole career) gives away a near-perfect performance as Walter Praisley, a clumsy waiter and wannabe artist whose biggest wish to get as famous as the talkative stars he serves coffee to every day. His dream accelerates rapidly and unexpectedly when he covers his landlady’s dead cat in clay and people proclaim it an art-masterpiece. Walter naturally enjoys his easily earned artist-status but he also realizes that he’ll have to move on to bigger (read: bloodier) projects if he wants to stay in the picture. Dick Miller’s exhilarating acting together with Charles Griffith’s wit scripting skills, makes this a very fun production that every cult-film fan will enjoy watching. Although chuckles clearly have the upper hand in “A Bucket of Blood”, Corman doesn’t ignore the horror entirely and some of the death-sequences are definitely more chilling than the ones featuring in other contemporary and “serious” horror movies.
