This very funny comedy-horror from Roger Corman was shot in five days. Its about a loser busboy with no artistic talent whatsoever who improbably impresses the local beatniks when he suddenly starts producing life-like clay statues. Turns out his masterpieces are in fact people he has murdered covered in a thin layer of clay! What really elevates this one is its hilarious digs at the Beat Generation - with pretentious poetry, over-earnest folk music, organic breakfasts and clueless art appreciation all part and parcel of the fun. Nice also to see Dick Miller in a rare lead role. I dig this scene Daddy-O!
