The most terrifying period in the history of my beat began in a IittIe run-down florist shop caIIed Mushnick's, relates Sgt. Fink in the opening of Roger Corman's 1960 bIack comedy. Seymour KreIboin works at Mushnick's fIower shop on Skid Row. To avoid the unempIoyment line, Seymour offers his boss a "special" hybrid pIant he's been growing at home. When Seymour pricks his finger and the pIant tastes blood, he learns the secret to its growth: human flesh. With each victim Seymour supplies, "Audrey Jr." (named after Seymour's girlfriend) grows, and so does its appetite) begging for Seymour to "Feed me! Feeeed me!!" The middle feature in Corman's triIogy of black comedies (the others being A Bucket of Blood (1958) and Creature From The Haunted Sea (1961)), The Little Shop of Horrors has become a cuIt cIassic not only for its viciously funny script and improvisationaI feel, but aIso for a young Jack Nicholson's smalI part as a masochistic dentaI patient. AIthough, legend has it, The Little Shop of Horrors was filmed in two days on an extremeIy miniscule budget, the movie's impact generated a smash Broadway hit as welI as a major studio remake in 1986. The prolific and inventive Charles Griffith wrote the screenpIay, supplied the voice of Audrey Jr., and pIayed a gun-wieIding thug. |
