Little Shop of Horrors (film) Little Shop of Horrors (film) Little Shop of Horrors is a 1986 American rock musical comedy horror film directed by Frank Oz. It is a film adaptation of the off-Broadway musical comedy of the same name by composer Alan Menken and writer Howard Ashman about a geeky florist shop worker who finds out his Venus flytrap can speak. Menken and Ashman's Off-Broadway musical was based on the low-budget 1960 film "The Little Shop of Horrors", directed by Roger Corman. The 1986 film stars Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene, Vincent Gardenia, Steve Martin, and Levi Stubbs as the voice of Audrey II.
The Little Shop of Horrors father appears as a dental patient, and his grandmother, Myrtle Vail, appears as Seymour's hypochondriac mother. Dick Miller, who had starred as the protagonist of "A Bucket of Blood" was offered the role of Seymour, but turned it down, instead taking the smaller role of Burson Fouch. Production at the "Bucket of Blood" sets was compressed into three days of cast rehearsals, immediately followed by two days and one night of principal photography. It had 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
