A Bucket of Blood (1959) From the director of Little Shop of Horrors, this earlier feature has a similar mix of ironic humor and icky gore.

Little Shop of Horros (1960) In two days, Roger Corman directed this funny cult horror classic that chronicles a flower-shop assistant's dilemma with a demanding, vociferous carnivorous plant.

Correction.......2003-11-23

Little Shop of Horrors does not star Jack Nicholson as Semour, rather Mr. Nicholson appears as a creepy dentist patient with a flair for all things unpleasent. His short performance alone would be worth the price of this DVD. But thankfully, the joys to be found in this strange film do not end there. Adding to the fun is Dick Miller (from Bucket of Blood) as a flower lover who takes his taste for botanicals to a new level. Speaking of Bucket of Blood, that is one creepy film. Stupid, but creepy. It also offers a first hand account of the 60s in a more bohemian way than many might be accustomed to. Dick Miller is nearly unrecognizable in a terriffic performance. If nothing else, seeing him and his massive transformation between Bucket of Blood (notice that the initials of this film spell BOB?) and Little Shop of Horrors is worth it. I have yet to see The Terror, but it looks great thanks to Mr. Nicholson again and Boris Karloff.

Scary Cult Classics!!!.......2003-10-22

A great collection of scary classics:

A BUCKET OF BLOOD stars Dick Miller who plays a nobody who gains fame among the beatniks. His realistic sculptures are made by covering dead bodies with clay. Watch out---you may just jump out of your own skin!!!

LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS stars Jack Nicholson as a skid row flower shop owner facing a dilemma with a demanding carnivorous plant. Don't get too close to the screen---it might gobble you up!!!

THE TERROR stars Boris Karloff and Jack Nicholson. Nicholson plays an officer in Napoleon's army who pursues a mysterious woman. The woman becomes the pawn of a old witch bent of driving a baron to suicide. Creepy atmosphere in a castle with a crypt.

THE WASP WOMAN stars Janet Starlin, the vain, youth-obsessed owner of a cosmetics firm who turns into a man-killing wasp-woman.
