This week we have a look at the 1959 horror film A Bucket of Blood.  This is Episode #440! A Bucket of Blood is a 1959 American comedy horror film directed by Roger Corman. It starred Dick Miller and was set in the West Coast beatnik culture of the late 1950s. Written by Charles B. Griffith, the film, produced on a $50,000 budget, is 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.A Bucket of Blood was the first of a trio of collaborations between Corman and Griffith in the comedy genre, which include The Little Shop of Horrors (which was shot on the same sets as A Bucket of Blood) and Creature from the Haunted Sea.

This week we have a look at the horror film The Little Shop of Horrors.  This is Episode #439! The Little Shop of Horrors is a 1960 American horror comedy film directed by Roger Corman. Written by Charles B. Griffith, the film is a farce about a florist's assistant who cultivates a plant that feeds on human blood. The film stars Jonathan Haze, Jackie Joseph, Mel Welles, and Dick Miller, who had all worked for Corman on previous films. Produced under the title The Passionate People Eater, the film combines dark comedy with farce and incorporates Jewish humor and elements of spoof. The Little Shop of Horrors was shot on a budget of $28,000 (equivalent to $288,000 in 2023). Interiors were shot in two days, by utilizing sets that had been left standing from A Bucket of Blood.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/castle-of-horror-podcast--4268760/support.

This week Lee and Daniel are joined by friend and fellow podcaster Gary Hill to continue the Roger Corman tribute thread. This time they cover two very similar cheapies Corman and writer Charles B. Griffith came up with "A Bucket of Blood" (1959) & "The Little Shop of Horrors" (1960), which are two great examples of doing more with less. The economic film making of the Corman method; the greatness of Dick Miller, and many other things are touched upon. The host also talk about what they've watched as of late. Stay out of the beatnik coffee house and don't feed the plants until you've listened to this episode!

"Handsome guys can get away with murder..." This week, JD and Randy rewatch the 1980 film, "Dr. Heckyl and Mr Hype." Directed by Charles B. Griffith and written by Griffith and Mark Hanna, this horror-comedy stars Oliver Reed in the titular role and tells the story of a doctor who transforms into a monstrous figure after taking a potion. Alongside Reed, the movie stars Sunny Johnson and Maia Danziger. Will the hosts change their opinions since their last viewing in 2017? Is the film a hidden gem or a flop? Tune in to find out and prepare to be surprised (or not). Did you know that Oliver Reed disliked the movie so much that he refused to promote it upon release? Gee, I wonder why? "To LOVE him is to DIE for him!"

Out of the forest and into the ocean! This week we're talking about UP FROM THE DEPTHS! This Jaws riff is Directed by the writer of Little Shop of Horrors, Charles B. Griffith! Up From The Depths is about a tourist community in Hawaii that is attacked by some sort of two-finned monster shark. It's up to the resort's Head of PR, a pair of haole grifters and an abyssal marine biologist to attempt to save the day. Originally intended as a comedy-horror, it was heavily re-edited into something pretty straight-forward, but you can really tell that they removed a lot. There's a plethora of side characters, Colonization commentary, sunken treasure and some really tremendous ADR/dubbing. That said, we still really enjoyed this goofy little movie! FISH CAN'T WALK!

Merci à W9 pour cette affiche alternative pour le podcast 34ème épisode de notre podcast où après quelques vacances bien méritées nous revenons vers nos chers films de requins avec deux productions hélas pas bien fameuses là encore... "Shark Week" de Christopher Olen Ray en 2012 part sur un concept intéressant faisant de ses requins les instruments de la vengeance sadique d'un trafiquant psychopathe sur son île secrète mais s'enlise très vite dans une médiocrité quasi criminelle. "Up from the Depths" de Charles B. Griffith en 1979 nous emmène paresseusement dans un camp de vacances hawaïen reconstitué aux Philippines menacé par un poisson préhistorique vague ancêtre pataud de nos squales actuels.

Madeline returns for a second straight episode and talks with Jim about Roger Corman's ultimate cult film 1960's "Little Shop Of Horrors," starring Jonathan Haze, Jackie Joseph, Mel Welles, Jack Nicholson, Charles B. Griffith and Dick Miller. While discussing this classic film, they are also joined by a surprise guest. Find out more during this special episode of "Monster Attack!"

Inspired by Dan Gilroy’s new VELVET BUZZSAW — and a listener suggestion — we’re looking back this week at another darkly humorous tweaking of the destructive world of high art and those who inhabit it: Roger Corman’s 1959 low-budget horror-comedy A BUCKET OF BLOOD. In this half of the pairing we talk about how Corman and screenwriter Charles B. Griffith balance the film’s tricky tone, how its obvious cheapness reflects Corman’s storied ability to work within restrictions, and what it’s like to watch iconic character actor Dick Miller in one of his rare starring turns. Plus, some feedback on our recent episodes on UNBREAKABLE and WIDOWS. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about A BUCKET OF BLOOD, VELVET BUZZSAW, or anything else film-related by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.   Learn more about your ad choices.
