- A Bucket of Blood (1959) Throughout his directorial career, Roger Corman worked with a stable of actors over and over again. Although many of them – Jack Nicholson, Peter Fonda, Bruce Dern – went on to become leading men, Corman’s most frequent collaborator would remain a character actor, albeit a much-beloved one.
- The Little Shop of Horrors (1960) Corman surpassed himself in the speediness department on The Little Shop of Horrors: the film took only two and a half days to shoot.
- Pit and the Pendulum (1961) In Pit and the Pendulum, Vincent Price plays the son of a member of the Spanish Inquisition whose wife has died in mysterious circumstances.
- The Intruder (1962) The Intruder is an unusual entry in Corman’s filmography. The story – a silver-tongued white supremacist (William Shatner) arrives in a small town to dissuade the populace from integrating the local school – has an overt social message.
