Bucket of Blood 1-sheet VF Roger Corman horror sci-fi movie poster beatnik

Here is a very droll original US theatrical 1sheet movie poster for Roger Corman’s bitterly dark reflection on artistic pretense and the very meaning of art, Bucket of Blood (1959). The well-acted film is effective due to its shocking juxtaposition of empathic comedy with Dick Miller’s sophomoric Walter Paisley as its engine contrasted with some truly horrific murders. As Paisley’s plot unravels it is difficult to sort between a sense of pity and revulsion, and the portrayal of the beatnik scene is one of the most absurd and perceptive ever committed to film.
This poster featuring ghoulish Charles Addams-like cartoon panels perfectly captures the odd but affecting tone of the film, and displays well in this 1-sheet format. So don’t miss your chance to obtain this classic Roger Corman horror 1-sheet in an no reserve auction with a very low opening bid.
