A Bucket of Blood (1959)
One thing about the movie A Bucket of Blood is that there's no blood in it. At least, maybe not more than a trickle. Oh, there's a cat stabbing, a head severing, a strangulation, and some narcotics cop gets killed but I can't remember how, exactly. Anyway, all of these get turned into "statues" or sculptures by Walter Paisley (Dick Miller), a semi-mentally impaired nebbish that must be the OTHER Seymour Krelboin.

The Wasp Woman (1959)
What does one say about a picture such as The Wasp Woman, which was another in a seemingly endless spate of horror, monster, drive-in monsterpieces by Roger "King of the B Pictures" Corman, who is now an amazing 96? (Hopefully, one says enough to meet the six-hundred-word minimum count.)

The boy was already dead
The boy was already dead. The boy was already dead. It was a fact that no one could deny, but for some reason, his body still walked among the living. His parents had buried him six months ago, in the cold, hard ground of the local cemetery. They had grieved and moved on, or so they thought. But the boy had not moved on. He had stayed, lingering in the shadows of their minds, a constant reminder of their loss.

The small town of Elm Street had always been known for its eerie legends and ghost stories. But none were as infamous as the old, decrepit house at the end of the street.

But for a group of friends, the lure of the unknown was too great to resist. They decided to explore the house one night, eager for a thrill and a good scare. What they found inside was more terrifying than anything they could have ever imagined.

The Brain That Wouldn't Die!
The Brain That Wouldn't Die (1962) is an old mad scientist shlock-fest, but it has enough subtle, subversive subtext (how do you like that for alliteration?) for even the most jaded and cynical bad movie buff to chew on, like a piece of cheap steak from an all-night greasy spoon circa 1964.

The New Horror and Thriller Movie Menu Review
The vulgarly well-off are making some extreme memories in motion pictures recently. Last month, Ruben Östlund stuck a lot of them on an extravagant yacht and watched them shot upchuck all around one another in "Triangle of Trouble." One week from now, Rian Johnson will stick a lot of them on a confidential Greek island to watch them wonder who among them is an executioner in "Glass Onion: A Blades Out Secret."
