ComedyHorror

Nerdy Walter Paisley, 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, 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.

VIBE

A hilariously grim descent into artistic madness. This cult classic offers a darkly comic look at a delusional artist's desperate quest for fame, fueled by increasingly morbid creations. It's a campy, unsettling ride with a unique beatnik flavor.
