The Little Shop of Horrors/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Adaptation Displacement: Many fans of the musical are unaware that it was based on this movie, and thanks to the Frank Oz movie, people may accidentally rent the Roger Corman version, or try watch it online, not realizing which film it is, and sometimes complaining that it's not the Frank Oz movie.
  • Cult Classic
  • Downer Ending
  • Nightmare Fuel: The scene in which the plant's flowers open. The cartoonish sound effects did not help.
  • Padding: Like many Corman flicks, this one has tons of walking scenes... and running scenes!
  • Uncanny Valley: The aforementioned flowers.
  • Vindicated by Cable: Drive-in and television showings turned this into a Cult Classic.
