A Bucket of Blood

You'll be sick, sick, sick — from LAUGHING!

A darkly comic proto-slasher that mines horror from a lonely outsider's descent into serial murder, wrapped in beatnik-era satire and played for laughs.

Nerdy Walter Paisley, a maladroit busboy at a beatnik café who doesn't fit in with the cool scene around him, attempts to woo his beautiful co-worker, Carla, 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 elaborate pieces using the same artistic process.
