The Little Shop of Horrors is a 1960 comedy film directed by Roger Corman. 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, the film employs an original style of humor, combining black comedy with farce and incorporating Jewish humour and elements of spoof. The Little Shop of Horrors was shot in two days utilizing sets that had been left standing from a previous production on a budget of $30,000.

The film slowly gained a cult following through word of mouth when it was distributed as the b movie in a double feature with Mario Bava's Black Sunday and eventually with The Last Woman on Earth. The film's popularity increased with local television broadcasts, in addition to the presence of a young Jack Nicholson, whose small role in the film has been prominently promoted on home video releases of the film. The movie inspired an off-Broadway musical, Little Shop of Horrors, which was made into a 1986 feature film and enjoyed a Broadway revival, all of which have attracted attention to the 1960 film.

Little Shop of Horrors is the 1986 film adaptation of the off-Broadway musical comedy of the same name by composer Alan Menken and writer Howard Ashman, about a nerdy florist shop worker who raises a plant that feeds on human blood. The film was directed by Frank Oz, and starred Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene and the voice of Levi Stubbs. The musical was based on the low-budget black comedy The Little Shop of Horrors, directed by Roger Corman.

Little Shop of Horrors was shot on the Albert R. Broccoli 007 Stage at the Pinewood Studios in England, where a "downtown" set, complete with overhead train track, was constructed. The film was produced on a budget of US$30 million, in contrast to the original 1960 film, which, according to Roger Corman, only cost $30,000. Like the 1960 film, the 1986 musical film did not make a big impact during its initial theatrical release, but is now considered a cult film.

While caring for Audrey II, Seymour discovers the plant's rather unique appetite. The plant grows and grows, as does Seymour's infatuation for Audrey, but who will get her first? FEED ME! Written by Mark Harding

Seymour Krelborn, a poor, geeky young man, works in Mushnik's Flower Shop on Skid Row, which rarely gets customers. He's in love with Audrey, who also works at the flower shop, but she already has a boyfriend, sleazy sadistic dentist Orin Scrivello, DDS. One day, Seymour finds a bizarre plant that he calls Audrey II. It attracts business, but when trying to figure out how to nurture it, Seymour discovers it eats blood. He keeps it alive, feeding it his own blood, and by the time it's big enough and mature enough to speak, move, and sing, Audrey II persuades Seymour to kill, bribing him with fame, money, possessions, and the love of Audrey. It turns out that the plant isn't just hungry and mean, it came from outer space on a mission to take over the world. Written by Josh M.
