LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS (1986) — 40th anniversary screening w/ killer plants pre-show

April 17 : 7:00 pm 8:45 pm

“Funny, fun, catchy, and well worth its reputation” – Cinema Crazed

Four decades on, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS remains one of the great cult comedy musicals, a riotous camp, horror, and some damn fine tunes. An adaptation of an Off-Broadway musical inspired by Roger Corman’s 1960 dark comedy film, LITTLE SHOP turned the scrappy stage hit into a full-blown pop spectacle, starring Rick Moranis as meek florist’s assistant Seymour, whose life changes when he discovers Audrey II, a smooth‑talking, soul‑singing plant with a taste for human blood. Ellen Greene is adorable as Seymour’s mousy co-worker Audrey and Levi Stubbs turns in an all-time great villain performance as the voice of the killer plant, while a host of comedy ringers—Jim Belushi! John Candy! Christopher Guest! Bill Murray! Steve Martin!—turn in memorable cameos. LITTLE SHOP’s blend of practical effects wizardry and jet‑black humor remain utterly irresistible.

Come out before the film for a free-ranging pre-show featuring some of the scariest and funniest killer plants in cinema history, starting at 6 pm.
