A Bucket of Blood is a 1959 American comedy horror film directed by Roger Corman.
It starred Dick Miller and was set in West Coast beatnik culture of the late 1950s.
The film, produced on a $50,000 budget, was shot in five days[2] and shares many of the low-budget filmmaking aesthetics commonly associated with Corman's work.[4] Written by Charles B.
Griffith, the film is a dark comic satire[2][5] about a dimwitted, impressionable young busboy at a Bohemian café who is acclaimed as a brilliant sculptor when he accidentally kills his landlady's cat and covers its body in clay to hide the evidence.
When he is pressured to create similar work, he becomes a serial murderer.
