Venture into the House of Schlock, the secret lair of our own mad library scientist Dr. M. A. Dewey, for an afternoon of B-movie horror, trivia, and history in the style of the classic horror hosts.

A Bucket of Blood (1959): Nerdy Walter Paisley (Dick Miller), a maladroit busboy at a beatnik café who doesn't fit in with the cool scene around him, attempts to woo his beautiful co-worker, Carla (Barboura Morris), by making a bust of her.

When his klutziness results in the death of his landlady's cat, he panics and hides its body under a layer of plaster. But when Carla and her friends enthuse over the resulting artwork, Walter decides to create some bigger and more elaborate pieces using the same artistic process.

Refreshments Provided.
