The Little Shop of Horrors is a low-budget 1960 comedy horror film, directed by Roger Corman and written by Charles Griffith. The rather loose plot concerns a bumbling florist's assistant named Seymour Krelboin (Jonathan Haze), whose plant cross-breeding experiments accidentally create a talking plant with hypnotic powers that feeds on human blood.It was famously filmed in under 48 hours, using pre-existing sets that were built for a different film. It also features a then-unknown Jack Nicholson in a small role as masochistic dental patient Wilbur Force, who consequently tends to get top billing whenever the film is released on home video.Years later, the movie was adapted into a stage musical by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, itself turned into a feature of its own directed by Frank Oz. The film and/or musical also probably served as partial inspiration for the plant in Stephen King's The Plant. Probably the biggest impact this movie had on pop culture? The Piranha Plants in Super Mario Bros..Since this movie is in the public domain, you can watch it for free or download it from a bunch of sources, including Hulu, Internet Archive and YouTube. | |

Self-Plagiarism | |
| The Little Shop of Horrors / int_116f6f1c | comment |
Self-Plagiarism: Of Corman's earlier film, A Bucket of Blood. Same exact plot, same soundtrack, characters with similar personalities. It even ends in the same exact way. The two movies were also written by the same person (Charles B. Griffith), were shot back-to-back, and were shot on the same set. | |

Greedy Jew | |
| The Little Shop of Horrors / int_12dc4d97 | comment |
Greedy Jew: The shop owner Gravis Mushnick is greedy, has a name that sounds like a Yiddish word, speaks with a noticeable Yiddish accent, and describes the plant as "meshugana", which got the film accused of antisemitism. The actor, Mel Welles, who is himself Jewish, countered that he came up with the accent on his own. | |

Public Medium Ignorance | |
| The Little Shop of Horrors / int_348eda5f | comment |
Public Medium Ignorance: Some fans of the Frank Oz movie are not aware that it derived from this movie, and the two are often confused as a result. Jack Nicholson is also not the star of the movie, despite a memorable role and being top billed on many home video releases (a noteworthy example? One VHS tape had a painting of Nicholson holding the plant, even though the two do not come into contact with each other at any point). This is also not a straightforward horror movie, despite being categorized as such on Hulu and YouTube or miscategorized on DVD shelves. In fact, when it was originally released, fans of the movie noted it for its MAD-like humor and satire. | |

Downer Ending | |
| The Little Shop of Horrors / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: The finale of the movie: Seymour gets so upset with Audrey Jr. that he tries to kill it, only to end up being eaten by it. On the other hand, due to the framing device of the film being that it's the recollection of a cop who got involved with the case, it's pretty obvious Audrey Jr. got destroyed afterwards (in contrast to the later theatrical version's alternate ending, where Audrey II's kill off humanity) and, hey, Seymour was a murderer, so it's kind of a Karmic Death. | |

Deadpan Snarker: Gravis Mushnick for most of the movie. Audrey Jr. also gets in on the action after revealing its man-eating nature to Mushnick, who invokes this trope: | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
| The Little Shop of Horrors / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: Seymour. It's what turns him into a murderer in the first place, and it's how the film ends. Seymour never even tries giving Audrey Jr. animal blood, instead he quickly resorts to feeding it human body parts and later corpses, hoping that each time would be the last. Near the end of the film, he decides the best way to kill Audrey Jr. is to climb into its mouth and start stabbing it with a knife. Naturally, he gets eaten. | |

Taking You with Me: In the climax of the movie, Seymour enters Audrey Jr. to tear it apart from the inside, but is himself eaten in the process. The ending shows his effort to kill the plant was successful. | |

Paste Eater | |
| The Little Shop of Horrors / int_cd67aad7 | comment |
Paste Eater: Burson Fouch buys flowers from the shop as take-out meals, and furthermore is something of an epicure, having eaten at florist shops all over the country. He even sees Audrey Jr. as a potential food item (complaining that it looks "stale"). When he finally leaves it's because his wife is making gardenias for dinner. Though there are many edible flowers, to the point that salads can be made entirely from them, carnations and gardenias are not among them. | |
