The Little Shop of Horrors is a 1960 film directed by Roger Corman. The movie story is a derivative of Green Thoughts, a short story by John Collier. Written by Charles B. Griffith, the film is a farce about an inadequate young florist's assistant who cultivates a plant that feeds on human blood and flesh. The film stars Jonathan Haze, Jackie Joseph, Mel Welles and Dick Miller, all of which had worked for Corman on previous films. Produced under the title The Passionate People Eater,[1][2] the film employs an original style of humor, combining black comedy with farce[3] and incorporating Jewish humour and elements of spoof.[4] The Little Shop of Horrors was shot in two days utilizing sets that had been left standing from a previous production[5][6] on a budget of $30,000.[7] Little Shop of Horrors is a title that can mean: The Little Shop of Horrors, the 1960 Roger Corman cult classic. ...

Synopsis
On Los Angeles' skid row, penny-pinching Gravis Mushnick (Mel Welles) owns a florist shop and employs sweet but simple Audrey Fulquard (Jackie Joseph) and clumsy Seymour Krelboyne (Jonathan Haze). Although the rundown shop gets little business, there are some repeat customers; for instance, Mrs. Siddie Shiva (Leola Wendorff) shops almost daily for flower arrangements for her many relatives' funerals. Another regular customer is Burson Fouch (Dick Miller), who eats the plants he buys for lunch. When Seymour fouls up dentist Dr. Farb's arrangement, Mushnick fires him. Hoping Mushnick will change his mind, Seymour tells him about a special plant that he cross-bred from a butterwort and a Venus Flytrap. Bashfully, Seymour admits that he named the plant "Audrey Jr.," a revelation that delights the real Audrey. From the apartment he shares with his hypochondriac mother, Winifred (Myrtle Vail), Seymour fetches his odd-looking, potted plant, but Mushnick is unimpressed by its sickly, drooping look. However, when Fouch suggests that Audrey Jr.'s uniqueness might attract people from all over the world to see it, Mushnick gives Seymour one week to revive it.

Seymour has already discovered that the usual kinds of plant food do not nourish his strange hybrid and that every night at sunset the plant's leaves open up. When Seymour accidentally pricks his finger on another thorny plant, Audrey Jr. opens wider, eventually causing Seymour to discover that the plant craves blood. After that, each night Seymour nurses his creation with blood from his fingers, and although he feels increasingly listless, Audrey Jr. begins to grow, and the shop's revenues increase due to the curious customers who are lured in to see Audrey Jr. The plant (voiced by writer Charles B. Griffith) develops the ability to speak and demands that Seymour feed him. Now anemic and not knowing what to feed the plant, Seymour takes a walk along a railroad track. When he carelessly throws a rock to vent his frustration, he inadvertently knocks out a man, who falls on the track and is run over by a train. Miserably guilt-ridden, but resourceful, Seymour collects the body parts and feeds them to Audrey Jr. Meanwhile, at a restaurant, Mushnick discovers he has no money with him, and when he returns to the shop to get some cash, he secretly observes Seymour feeding the plant. Although Mushnick intends to tell the police, the next day, when he sees the line of people waiting to spend money at his shop, he procrastinates. Charles B. Griffith (b. ...

When Seymour later arrives that morning, suffering a toothache, Mushnick sends Seymour to Dr. Farb, who tries to remove several of his teeth. Grabbing a sharp tool, Seymour fights back and accidentally stabs and kills Farb. Seymour is disturbed that he has now murdered twice, but nevertheless feeds Farb to Audrey Jr. At the police homicide division, Sgt. Joe Fink and his assistant Frank Stoolie (take-offs of Dragnet characters Joe Friday and Frank Smith played by Wally Campo and Jack Warford[5]) discover that Farb and the man at the railroad tracks have disappeared. They question Mushnick, who acts suspiciously nervous, but conclude that he knows nothing. Audrey Jr., which has grown several feet tall, is beginning to bud, as is the relationship between Seymour and Audrey whom Seymour invites on a date. When a representative of the Society of Silent Flower Observers of Southern California comes to the shop to check out the plant, she announces that Seymour will soon receive a trophy from them and that she will return when the plant's buds open. Still lacking clues about the mysterious disappearances of the two men, Fink and Stoolie attend a special sunset celebration at the shop during which Seymour is to be presented with the trophy and Audrey, Jr.'s buds are expected to open. As the attendees look on, four buds open. Inside each flower is the face of one of the plant's meals. Seymour panics and runs through the streets, and police lose his trail later when he takes refuge in a yard filled with sinks and toilets. Seymour eventually makes his way back to Mushnick's shop, where Audrey Jr. is yelling for food. Blaming the plant for ruining his life, Seymour ignores the its demands as he takes a knife and climbs into the Audrey Jr.'s mouth in a poorly thought-out attempt to kill it. Later, Audrey, Winifred, Mushnick and the police return to the shop where Audrey Jr has begun to wither and die. Its final bud opens to reveal the face of Seymour, who pitifully whines "I didn't mean it!" before drooping over.

Development The Little Shop of Horrors was developed when director Roger Corman was given temporary access to sets that had been left standing from another production. Corman decided to use the sets in a film made in the last two days before the sets were torn down.[1][2][5][6] Corman initially planned to produce a story involving a private investigator. In the initial version of the story, the character that eventually became Audrey would have been referred to as "Oriole Plove." Actress Nancy Kulp was a leading candidate for the part.[6] The characters that eventually became Seymour and Winifred Krelboyne were named "Irish Eye" and "Iris Eye."[6] Actor Mel Welles was scheduled to play a character named Draco Cardala, Jonathan Haze was scheduled to play "Archie Aroma," and Jack Nicholson would have played a character named Jocko.[6] Charles B. Griffith wanted to write a horror-themed comedy film. The first screenplay Griffith wrote was Cardula, a Dracula-themed story involving a vampire music critic.[8] After Corman rejected the idea, Griffith wrote a screenplay titled Gluttony,[3][8] in which the protaganist was "a salad chef in a restaurant who would wind up cooking customers and stuff like that."[3] According to Griffith, Corman was unable to to make the film because of the Production Code.[3] "So I said, 'How about a man-eating plant?', and Roger said, 'Okay.' By that time, we were both drunk."[3] The screenplay was written under the title The Passionate People Eater.[1][2][6] According to Mel Welles, Corman was not impressed by the box office performance of A Bucket of Blood, Griffith's previous comedic effort, and had to be persuaded to direct another comedy. "The reason that The Little Shop of Horrors worked is because it was a love project. It was our love project."[2] Roger Corman Roger William Corman (born April 5, 1926), sometimes nicknamed King of the Bs for his output of B-movies (though he himself rejects this appelation as inaccurate), is a prolific American producer and director of low-budget exploitation movies. ...

Production
Screenwriter Charles B. Griffith has a cameo as a robber. The film was partially cast with stock actors that Corman had used in previous films. Writer Charles B. Griffith portrays several small roles. Griffith's father appeared as a dental patient, and his grandmother, Myrtle Vail appeared as Seymour's hypochondriac mother.[1][8] Dick Miller, who had starred as the protaganist of A Bucket of Blood was offered the role of Seymour, but turned it down, instead taking the smaller role of Burson Fouch.[2][6] The cast rehearsed for three weeks before filming began.[8] Principal photography of The Little Shop of Horrors was shot in two days and one night.[11] It been rumored that the film's shooting schedule was based on a bet that Corman could not complete a film within that time. However, this claim has been denied by Mel Welles.[8] Interiors were shot with three cameras in wide, lingering master shots in single takes.[1][6][12] Welles states that Corman "had two camera crews on the set—that's why the picture, from a filmic standpoint, really is not very well done. The two camera crews were pointed in opposite directions so that we got both angles, and then other shots were 'picked up' to use in between, to make it flow. It was a pretty fixed set and it was done sort of like a sitcom is done today, so it wasn't very difficult."[8] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

At the time of shooting, Jack Nicholson had only appeared in two film roles, and had only worked with Roger Corman once, as the lead in The Cry Baby Killer. According to Nicholson, "I went in to the shoot knowing I had to be very quirky because Roger originally hadn't wanted me. In other words, I couldn't play it straight. So I just did a lot of weird shit that I thought would make it funny."[1] According to Dick Miller, all of the dialogue between his character and Mel Welles was ad-libbed.[8] During a scene in which writer Charles B. Griffith played a robber, Griffith remembers that "When [Welles] and I forgot my lines, I improvised a little, but then I was the writer. I was allowed to."[1] However, Welles states that "Absolutely none of it was ad-libbed [...] every word in Little Shop was written by Chuck Griffith, and I did ninety-eight pages of dialogue in two days."[8] Nicholson as Wilbur Force in The Little Shop of Horrors (1960). ...

According to Nicholson, "we never did shoot the end of the scene. This movie was pre-lit. You'd go in, plug in the lights, roll the camera, and shoot. We did the take outside the office and went inside the office, plugged in, lit and rolled. Jonathan Haze was up on my chest pulling my teeth out. And in the take, he leaned back and hit the rented dental machinery with the back of his leg and it started to tip over. Roger didn't even call cut. He leapt onto the set, grabbed the tilting machine, and said 'Next set, that's a wrap.'"[1] By 9 A.M. of the first day, Corman was informed by the production manager that he was behind schedule.[6] Exteriors were shot by Griffith and Welles over two successive weekends with $279 worth of rented equipment.[2][6] Griffith and Welles paid a group of children five cents apiece to run out of a subway tunnel.[8] They were also able to persuade winos to appear as extras for ten cents apiece.[2][8] "The winos would get together, two or three of them, and buy pints of wine for themselves! We also had a couple of the winos act as ramrods—sort of like production assistants—and put them in charge of the other wino extras."[8] Griffith and Welles also persuaded a funeral home to donate a hearse and coffin—with a real corpse inside—for the film shoot.[8] Griffith and Welles were able to use the nearby Southern Pacific Railway yard for an entire evening using two bottles of scotch as persuasion.[2] The scene in which a character portrayed by Robert Coogan is run over by a train was accomplished by persuading the railroad crew to back the locomotive away from the actor. The shot was later printed in reverse.[2] Griffith and Welles spent a total of $1,100 on fifteen minutes worth of exteriors.[2][8] Southern Pacific redirects here. ...
Howard R. Cohen learned from Charles B. Griffith that when the film was being edited, "there was a point where two scenes would not cut together. It was just a visual jolt, and it didn't work. And they needed something to bridge that moment. They found in the editing room a nice shot of the moon, and they cut it in, and it worked. Twenty years go by. I'm at the studio one day. Chuck comes running up to me, says, 'You've got to see this!' It was a magazine article—eight pages on the symbolism of the moon in Little Shop of Horrors."[2] According to Corman, the total budget for the production was $30,000.[7] Other sources estimate the budget to be between $22,000 and $100,000.[2][5][6]
Release history
The film's trailer emphasized its comedic content. Corman had initial trouble finding distribution for the film, as some distributors, including American International Pictures, felt that the film would be interpreted as anti-Semitic, citing the characters of Gravis Mushnick and Siddie Shiva.[2][6][8][13] Welles, who is Jewish, stated that he gave his character a Turkish Jewish accent and mannerisms, and that he saw the humor of the film as playful, and felt there was no intent to defame any ethnic group.[2] The film was finally released by Corman's own production company, The Filmgroup Inc., one year after it had been completed.[8] The film was screened out of competition at the 1960 Cannes Film Festival.[1][5] Positive word-of-mouth for the film was spread when it was released as part of a double feature preceded by Mario Bava's Black Sunday.[8] Little Shop of Horrors was re-released the following year in a double feature with The Last Woman on Earth.[6] Like most Film Group releases, Corman did not believe that The Little Shop of Horrors had much financial prospect after its initial theatrical run and did not bother to copyright it, resulting in the film falling into the public domain.[6] Because of this, the film is widely available in copies of varying quality.

The film was colorized twice, the first time in 1987.[14] This version was poorly received. The film was colorized again by Legend Films, who released their color version as well as a restored black and white version of the film on DVD in 2006.[15][16] Legend Films' colorized version was well-received,[17][18] and was also given a theatrical premiere at the Coney Island Museum on May 27th, 2006.[19] The DVD included an audio commentary track by comedian Michael J.

Reception Jack Nicholson, recounting the reaction to a screening of the film, states that the audience "laughed so hard I could barely hear the dialogue. I didn't quite register it right. It was as if I had forgotten it was a comedy since the shoot. I got all embarrassed because I'd never really had such a positive response before."[1] The film's popularity slowly grew with local television broadcasts throughout the 1960s and 1970s.[9] Interest in the film was rekindled when a stage musical called Little Shop of Horrors was produced in 1982.[2] It closely followed the original film and was itself adapted to cinema as Little Shop of Horrors, in 1986.[21] This in turn spawned an animated TV series Little Shop.[22] Little Shop of Horrors is a 1982 off-Broadway musical comedy by composer Alan Menken and writer Howard Ashman, about a nerdy florist shop worker who raises a plant that feeds on human blood. ...
