Roger Corman Double Bill - A Bucket Of Blood / The Little Shop Of Horrors 15

A double bill of two Roger Corman horror comedies that have gone on to have long lives as cult classics.

A Bucket Of Blood - When Walter Paisley (Dick Miler) attempts to woo his beautiful co-worker, Carla (Barboura Morris), by making a bust of her. When his klutziness results in the death of his landlady's cat, he panics and hides its body under a layer of plaster. But when Carla and her friends enthuse over the resulting artwork, Walter decides to create some bigger and more macabre pieces using the same artistic process.

The Little Shop Of Horrors - Seymour Krelboin (Jonathan Haze) works in the Skid Row flower shop owned by Mr. Mushnik (Mel Welles). In his spare time, Seymour creates a new plant species he names Audrey Junior in honour of his girlfriend Audrey (Jackie Joseph). Audrey Junior begins speaking and demands to be fed human blood and flesh, and soon has convinced Seymour that he must become a killer to keep the plant satisfied.  

This QUAD Essentials screening will feature an introduction and post-film discussion.
