A Bucket Of Blood (1959)

Blending beatniks, murder, and the art world, director Roger Corman's outrageous horror spoof stars Dick Miller as Walter Paisley, a coffeehouse busboy who accidentally kills a cat, covers it in plaster, and puts it on display. Hailed as a "new talent," Walter soon moves on to human subjects. Shot-in-five-days cult classic also stars Anthony Carbone, Barboura Morris. 65 min. BW/Rtg: NR

The Terror (1963)

When "The Raven" finished shooting three days early, a thrifty Roger Corman used the cast and sets for this surprisingly effective chiller. Jack Nicholson plays Andre Duvalier, a lieutenant in Napoleon's army who is haunted by a mysterious woman named Helene (Nicholson's then-wife Sandra Knight) in mad Baron von Leppe’s (Boris Karloff) sinister castle. With the great Dick Miller, Jonathan Haze; features scenes from uncredited directors Francis Ford Coppola, Monte Hellman, Jack Hill, and Nicholson. 79 min. C/Rtg: NR

Dementia 13 (1963)

Rather than come clean about her husband's abrupt death, a gold digger (Luana Anders) heads to his Irish ancestral family castle to make sure that her spot in the will of his eccentric noblewoman mother (Eithne Dunne) is secure. As she becomes steeped in the strange obsessions of her dysfunctional in-laws, the homestead finds itself stalked by an ax-wielding killer. Moody early career effort from Francis Ford Coppola co-stars William Campbell, Patrick Magee, Mary Mitchel. 75 min. BW/Rtg: NR
