A Bucket of Blood (1959) / [Attack of] The Giant Leeches (1959)

San Francisco Examiner - February 4, 1960

"Be a nose. Be a nose!"

Roger Corman's black comedy classic A Bucket of Blood provided yet another memorable Saturday afternoon viewing experience for me. While the overt comedy went over my child brain, what lodged and cemented the film in both memory and heart was the character of Walter Paisley (brought to life by the legendary character actor Dick Miller).

The second half of this double feature is a mid-tier monster movie that still managed to scare and gross me out as a child. As an adult the most interesting thing about it, for me, is that its director, Bernard L. Kowalski, also helmed the 1973 snake-themed thriller Sssssss
