No matter how hard Walter Paisley (Dick Miller) tries to fit in, he just can't seem to get it right. A nerdy waiter at a hip, beatnik hang-out, Walter is exceedingly jealous of the artistic types that frequent his workplace. But in a bizarre twist of fate, Walter gets the attention he's always craved after he accidentally kills his landlord's cat. In an attempt to hide his misdeed, Walter covers the cat in clay, thus producing a macabre work-of-art the beatniks go wild over. Praised and admired for his "artistic" talents, Walter has only one dilemma: where to get another corpse for his next sculpture. The problem is solved when Walter introduces a nosy cop to the blunt side of a cast-iron skillet. From there on out, the crazed pseudo-artist begins whacking his competition as the demand for sculptures grows. (Echo Bridge Entertainment)

A must see for all fans of Roger Corman and cute horror comedies akin to The Little Shop of Horrors. Dick Miller performs brilliantly in one of his few main roles (or is this the only one? I’m not sure…), and the general B-style atmosphere combined with jazz music makes for a pleasant result. A fun B series comedy which is worth it and is quite underrated here.
