Description: Roger Corman produced and directed A Bucket of Blood, and Dick Miller is excellent, in the starring role of Walter Paisley. Like everyone, Walter has his dreams and is an aspiring sculptor who wants nothing more than to be accepted by his peers. Unfortunately Walter's talents don't quite come up to his expectations. Walter's luck changes when his landlady's cat, Frankie, gets caught in the hollow wall cavity of his home. In an attempt to free the unfortunate feline Walter stabs a knife into the wall, but kills the poor cat in the process. Walter can think of only one way to hide Frankie's body and covers it in clay, leavi ... (more)

" Date: 5/27/2019 Viewed: Tubi TV Re-Watch Note: This movie is still awesome even after 60 years later. Walter is a very good character and is rather terrifying at times too.
