The Little Shop of Horrors (1960) | Jack Nicholson |

 Roger Corman’s Little Shop of Horrors (1960) is a cult-classic horror-comedy blending absurd humor with B-movie horror tropes. Set in a rundown Los Angeles flower shop, the film follows Seymour Krelborn (Jonathan Haze), a clumsy and hapless florist’s assistant who discovers a strange, talking carnivorous plant. Naming it Audrey Jr. after his crush, Audrey Fulquard (Jackie Joseph), Seymour soon realizes that the plant thrives on human blood.

As Audrey Jr.’s appetite grows, Seymour resorts to increasingly desperate measures to keep it fed, leading to a series of darkly comedic mishaps and accidental murders. Meanwhile, a sadistic dentist (John Shaner) and his masochistic patient, played by a young Jack Nicholson in an early and memorable role, add to the film’s bizarre and twisted humor. Shot in just two days on a shoestring budget, Little Shop of Horrors has since become a beloved cult favorite, inspiring a popular musical adaptation and a 1986 film remake. With its offbeat humor, quirky characters, and absurd premise, Corman’s low-budget horror-comedy remains a must-see for fans of classic B-movie cinema. ___________________________________________________________________________ Directed by: Roger Corman Screenplay by: Charles B.
