A Bucket of Blood
Not only did A Bucket Of Blood give Dick Miller one of his few starring roles, but it provided a story template (as well as leftover sets and actors) for Little Shop of Horrors a year later. See if this Corman classic still provides laughs and chills today as we walk you through this homage to House of Wax that parodies the beatnik scene at the time.
House of Usher
Legendary filmmaker, Roger Corman, sadly left us this year. House of Usher (aka The Fall of the House of Usher) is the first of our four-part tribute to his legacy as a director, producer, and all-around powerhouse in the film industry. Join us as we spend the next four weeks discussing all-things-Corman with a curated selection of films that represent some of the best of his horror output, while showcasing his uncanny ability to make box office bank by nurturing up-and-coming talents and producing films that people want to SEE on shockingly low budgets and timelines.
The Shining
Honestly, there’s not much we can say about this film that hasn’t already been said. But we sure enjoyed revisiting it after so many years, and it still managed to surprise and delight us.
