Subject: Get with this hip flick daddio.
Smart funny cult classic. Dick Miller has never been better. As Walter Paisley ,the down at heel bus boy who wants more than anything to be accepted as an artist by the pretentious poseurs who frequent the coffee shop where he works,Miller captures the essence of the outsider. The scene where he enters the coffee shop triumphant resplendent with cane,beret and neckerchief is priceless. The production values as you would expect of a Corman B-movie are piss-poor(when Walter takes Frank the dead cat out of the wall its hilariously obvious that the cat is stuffed,made of plaster or has gone through the swiftest progression of death to rigor-mortis in film history)but its a lot better than a lot of the crap that Hollywood are spending millions on NOW.

Subject: A humorus horror flick.
This thing has the same flavor as 'A little Shop of Horrors,' which is available on this site. Humor off-sets the horror in a beatnik setting with a lot of very colorful characters that are worth watching!

Subject: Excellent film
One of Roger Corman's best outings -- dark, wickedly funny, and tears the beatnik culture a new one.
