  Psychic Allie Oates (Deborah Rose) is approached by police Detective Jersey Callum (Ed Nelson) and asked to identify three mummified children found in a funeral home run by Chen (Robert Yun Ju Ahn). Chen insists the corpses are really Kyonshi demons that he has been supplying with human flesh. The police do not believe Chen, and he is arrested on murder charges. By the time Jersey and Allie arrive, the ghouls awaken in the morgue and, with no nourishment in sight, they trap Jersey and Allie along with the attendants–including Mrs. Poopinplatz (Phyllis Diller) and her poodle–and begin to feast on any available humans. The survivors struggle to combat the beasts that, by now, have possessed the bodies of Mrs. Poopinplatz and her poodle. Will the madness never end?

A Bucket of Blood   1959     3 stars    N/R, 66 min.
Genre: Comedy / Horror / Thriller
Director: Roger Corman  
Cast: Dick Miller, Barboura Morris, Anthony Carbone, Julian Burton, Ed Nelson, John Brinkley, Bert Convy, John Herman Shaner, Bruno VeSota, Judy Bamber, Myrtle Vail, Lynn Storey

  Nerdy Walter Paisley (Dick Miller, in the first of several "Walter Paisley" films) is a busboy in a Greenwich Village cafe frequented by artistic-type people. He admires their lifestyle, but at the same time he is jealous of their talents. One day while trying to save a cat, he accidentally kills it, and, in order to hide the killing, he covers it with plaster, thus making it a sculpture that goes on display at the cafe. The patrons consider it a work of art, and proclaim Walter to be a great artist. They want more, and the untalented Walter must resort to what was successful with the first sculpture–and people start disappearing. A real Roger Corman hoot–cheap but lots of fun.

Minneapolis friend 04/13/2009 
  JACK'S EXPERIENCE AS A WWII AVIATOR WAS WELL USED. HE KNEW HIS AGENDA AND WAS INTELLIGENT WITHOUT BEING ARROGANT . IF YOU KNEW HIS TRUE FRIENDS THEY WERE ''NORMAL PEOPLE'' OR ACTORS/ACTRESSES WHO DIDN'T PLAY THE '' HOLLYWOOD SCENE''. MY FATHER GREW UP WITH BOTH JACK AND JOYCE AND DIDN'T SUFFER FOOLS. HE WASN'T IMPRESSED WITH CELEBRITIES NOR DID JACK. DADDY'S FAVORITE 'MOST DOWN TO EARTH, INTELLIGENT, GENUINE ARTICLE' WAS PAUL NEWMAN, ONE OF JACK'S BEST FRIENDS. JACK NEVER RECEIVED THE CREDIT HE DESERVED...HE WAS AN INTELLIGENT MAN BORN OF CATHOIC IMMIGRANTS....I NEVER OBSERVED ANY PRETENSE OR POSTURING IN JACK. HIS SON, TIM, VISITED WHEN I WAS OUT OF TOWN ON EMERGENCY FAMILY BUSINESS....HOW ARE YOU TIM? WE WERE AWARE OF DIFFERENCES AND ESTRANGEMENT.....PLEASE CALL ME....MOM HAS ALZTHEIMERS AND DOESN'T REMEMBER YOUR VISIT.......I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU....YOU LIVED WITH US FOR A YEAR AND I'M SORRY I MISSED YOU.

  In another of executive producer Roger Corman's "beast" pictures, an alien arrives in the body of dead astronaut Major John Corcoran (Michael Emmet). The base that the body rests in is cut off from the outside world as Corcoran's body becomes the breeding ground for more aliens. It doesn't look good for the mere Earthlings stationed at the base–nor for others outside the base as well.
