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.

Art is a reminder that, in every aspect of life, people see what they want to see, and reality can be sculpted by us. Sculptin in Time.

One of the greatest dark comedies ever made. Mad hilarious and incredibly sad at the same time.

Fun little horror comedy that doesn’t carry its concept as far as it probably could. A few great scenes. Dick Miller is great in this.

This should be remade. Great premise but a lackluster script.

Art world satire by the master of low budget, Corman. Dick Miller is fantastic as ever.
