Little Shop Of Horrors (1986)


One of the most successful horror musicals ever, this was even nominated for 2 Oscars.  What's more, it's even been to Broadway (see stage still below).  It's a Frank Oz film that has far more musical numbers than even your average musical, never mind movie musicals.  It famously stars Rick Moranis and Ellen Greene, with Levi Stubbs very memorably providing the voice of Audrey II.  It is sprinkled with strange little performances by the likes of John Candy, Bill Murray, James Belushi, even Christopher Guest, along with veteran musical actor Vincent Gardenia as the flower shop owner Mushnik.  It notably features one really wickedly awesome number by Steve Martin...as the psychotic dentist Orin Scrivello--D.D.S. (see below).
