The Little Shop of Horrors (1960) DVD

Seymour Krelbourne (Jonathan Haze) works at a struggling flower shop where he shows the owner Gravis Mushnick (Mel Welles) a plant hybrid he has been working on. Named Audrey II in honour of Audrey Fulguard (played by Jackie Joseph), the plant proves an instant attraction and business at Mushnick s booms almost overnight. A delighted Mushnick invites Seymour and Audrey out for a meal to celebrate their new found success, but Audrey already has a date with her boyfriend and Seymour needs to care for the ailing plant. Seymour soon realises that the only thing that can keep Audrey II alive is blood human blood! At first Seymour supplies the blood himself from his finger, but Audrey II s appetite grows and grows as her size grows and grows. The line Feed me Seymour, I m hungry.... has grisly implications for everyone... A cult classic from Roger Corman, the low budget film (it was reportedly filmed in two days!) inspired a Broadway play, a remake of the film in 1986 and launched the career of Jack Nicholson.
