Nebbish Seymour Krelboind (Jonathan Haze) works for the ultra-cheap Gravis Mushnick (Mel Welles) at his skid row floral shop. He's infatuated with his coworker, Audrey (Jackie Joseph), but knows he'll never be able to win her over—that is, until he grows a special plant he calls Audrey, Jr. The only downside? Audrey, Jr.'s ability to talk and its hunger for human blood! Later adapted into the smash Broadway musical, screenwriter Charles B. Griffith and filmmaker Roger Corman's The Little Shop of Horrors is a classic horror comedy with appearances by Dick Miller and a young Jack Nicholson.
