Lippert did some sci-fi,--I only know The Lost Continent--however the style of Lippert's flicks generally is somewhat redolent of an early era, while Corman's films always feel like products of their time. A possible influence on Corman, or Corman-Griffith: Mad magazine. Bucket and Blood and Little Shop Of Horors play rather as Mad parodies of B horrors, with the humor and beatnick attitude a major factor in what makes them funny. Those two Cormans already have that, feel like parodies of themselves. From 1960-64, Hammer, definitely, though Corman had his own style and his own staff. His later horrors, when he began working in England, strangely, feels less like Hammer, more like Corman under Ingmer Bergman's influences, these were more serious projects overall. By this time Corman was getting more ambitous.
