the little shop of horrors (1960)

aka The Passionate People Eater.
Seymour (Jonathon Haze) is nice but klutzy guy, who works in a flower store. One day he manages to breed a bizarre looking plant, a plant that starts talking to him! Seymour, being the helpful type becomes friends with it and tries to help when it gets hungry and pleads for him to 'feed me'. This is when he finds out that it loves nothing more than chowing down on human for lunch!
A delightful black comedy, that in usual Corman style was mostly knocked together over a couple of days, when a set became suddenly available. Watch out for the fantastic cameo by Jack Nicholson as a masochistic dental patient.
