Roger Corman directs Dick Miller, Barboura Morris and Julian Burton in this Beatnik horror comedy about a murderous busboy who becomes an art world sensation when he starts covering his cadavers in clay. 

A quirky little time capsule, capturing a cartoonish assessment of Beatnik pretentious and style. Amusing rather than funny, it is a satire played relatively straight faced. Mainly of interest to me as one of the ubiquitous bit part star Dick Miller’s few lead roles. He has a similar nebbish quality that Rick Moranis or Crispin Glover later cribbed in their work.
