Roger Corman’s 1959 horror-comedy A Bucket of Blood tells the story of Walter Paisley, a murderous artist who works in a beatnik coffeehouse. As Michael Ned Holte writes, “The bumbling busboy Walter Paisley gains plaudits from the finicky intelligentsia for his “far-out” sculptures, which (unbeknownst to his new fans) are constructed over the corpses of victims that are at first accidental, but eventually intentional as the success goes to his head.”
