Wow, that was some pretty decent fast-cranking on the train approaching the wino.
BULLSEYE
Need blood? Get a loan from the blood bank!
Don't trust megacorporations? Go to your local blood credit union!
All this time I didn't realize it was spelled "Audry Junior" #monsterdon
#monsterdon Mushnick is a lovely CEO joke. βDo something amazing or I'll fire you!β 3β¦ 2β¦ 1β¦ "You gave me a huge margin and flush with cash, now you're FAMILY." It's frikken classic. And now we're talking about just killing Seymourβ¦ typical CEO.
#Monsterdon Charles Griffith, the writer behind the script, is the uncredited voice of Audrey Jr.

π The voice and plant movement are out of sync
Scriptwriter Griffith voiced Audry Jr's voice as a reference to the actors. Another actor's voice was to be added in post, probably more in sync. Probably.
But Griffith simulated the voice of a TV show puppet dog that also did Nestle's Quick commercials and this got laughs, so Corman kept it in - to save more money.
#monsterdon Seymour isn't very bright when it comes to blood sourcing.
Hey, a plant that speaks American! #monsterdon
#Monsterdon #LittleShopOfHorrors1960
What a rare sight in film--that was a MALE who froze like a deer in headlights in front of an oncoming train.
Might I suggest teaching your plant some tricks
how much of his mom's cough syrup has Seymour been drinking?
#monsterdon
late night, when the plants start screaming
The weirdest things are happening in this flower shop and they don't even have anything to do with the plants
I am extremely bad with plants so this movie is very relatable.
@Lazarou #Monsterdon You can lead a horticulture but you can't make it think.
Quick note-#mondayactionmovie tomorrow at 8 P ET. Free on prime, roku, plex and yt. #monsterdon
Oh, so it's the vampire bat of venus flytraps. It's probably constantly pissing. Or whatever the plant equivalent is. #monsterdon
in arabic???
#Monsterdon He's a fair weather father.
Seymour turns wholly gray every time anyone gets close to him π
@Lazarou TIL π
#monsterdon Why am I thinking that Mushnik has cold war plans for Audrey II?
βLook on this fly trap.β Ah, the writing in this. #monsterdon
Please don't damage the horticulturist! #monsterdon
Betty and veronica shopping for $2000 in flowers? This movie is just a horror movie happening during a sitcom.
#Monsterdon #LittleShopOfHorrors
"Corman was born in Detroit, Michigan, to Anne (nΓ©e High) and William Corman, an engineer of Russian Jewish descent." -wikipedia
so, mushnik is Corman's father
Gravis "Ultrasound" Mushnick #monsterdon
#monsterdon I promise, there ARE gals who like brains. (apologies for the pro-het propaganda)
I like how his beard becomes bright orange, then brown
#monsterdon

Rose Bowl parade didn't sue uh? Really back in the day.

βWho died? The Chamber of Commerce?β
Whatever they cheaped out on this movie, it wasnβt the script!! #Monsterdon

Wait was it ever the case that if a dude invented something, all chicks were required to shriek in delight and snuggle that dude?
All people taste different.
#monsterdon
"it grows like a cold sore from the lip"
Looks like Audrey JR is a grower, not a shower. #monsterdon
This isn't a musical, is it?
Checking in for #monsterdon, this is definitely more whimsical than we usually get.
Nice sterilization procedure, only 8,000 viruses from your mouth coat that needle
βIβm crazy about kosher flowersβ - me too because flowers are so prone to bugs, you donβt have to worry about that with kosher certification π #Monsterdon
I hope Seymour is up on his tetanus shots
Thereβs no accounting for the taste of people
"Isn't he delicious" I'm sure we'll find out #monsterdon
its phantastic pholks
#Monsterdon
Audrey Jr is the plant gay's anxiety equivalent of the Eraserhead baby
Wonder if that Japanese gardener has any teddy-bears you also aren't supposed to feed blood to (after midnight).
Geez, Seymour, donβt talk to the plant: itβll die of depression #monsterdon
Blink and you'll miss it stock footage
#Monsterdon <sickos.jpg> yes hahaha yes
"My wife's making gardenias for dinner."
Cirrhosis, grandma. That's what it's gonna do for you.

@ohiofi lol, I covert this energy from the T-shirt #Monsterdon
Green faces - kinda artsy
Hoo boy, this is hokey #Monsterdon
#monsterdon wait, was this ORIGINALLY-originally a play intended for High School production? It feels like that but then we did it with the cast of Gilligan's Island and a decent jazz ensemble.
Audrey is pretty funny:
Mushnik: "You like even skunk cabbage"
Audrey: "...yeah"
Seymour: "I'm not worth it"
Audrey: "Who says that?"
S: "Everybody"
A: "I know"
#Monsterdon "Yeah I know." Oh man, Audrey doesn't pull punches!
#monsterdon Ma is fit for the Betty Ford clinic⦠LOL
A fine figurative of a man? Literally? #monsterdon
Is the flower eater an alien?
I missed why Dick Miller is eating flowers, perhaps it's for the best....
Big Trouble in Little Flower Shop #Monsterdon
"Kosher flowers"
yeah, I was looking for the overt sign, because Mushnik is a sterotype and a half for your ass
fucking Corman
@rallias If you're sick enough to be drinking this stuff I don't think you're worried about the carcinogen properties of trace benzene?
@kcarr2015 "dirty rainbow" seems to be the color scheme
#monsterdon
@blogdiva
Honestly it's always been unclear to me why "Skid Row" is important to the story.
I bet Mom likes the Vitavegamin too!
Ma has a cast iron stomach and a hypochondria. #monsterdon
the AI colorization is making the plant change colors randomly
Oh crap, I made the mistake of pulling up the colorized version of this. It's so bad I think it's done with AI. π΅βπ«
Alcoholic content 98%? That's... north of what you can produce by distillation alone. Something scary about that stuffs.
This movie has the weirdest consumables.
#monsterdon
KSIK "K sick"?
"Music for old invalids"
I want a surge of warm health.
Oh, it's one of those "medicines" that are all alcohol & cocaine!
#Monsterdon So was Dick Miller literaly chewing the scenery earlier?
Seymore is good at tripping over things
#monsterdon
98% π¨
#monsterdon
Dr. Slurpsaddle is a perfect name, no notes
Dick Miller was also in X The Man with the X-ray Eyes #monsterdon
98% tonic. Yup, that's about right.
lol, America doesn't have an NHS, we had one even back then....TERRIBLE comedy movies about them, absolutely shocking....
#Monsterdon Now, I don't know if he got it from this movie; he hates musicals.
mushnik screams too much
#monsterdon Radio K S I K! A real sick joke.
I wouldn't mind paying $0.49 for a pair of pants.
I stopped watching spongebob years ago it probably already did this lmao
you know how Spongebob had that episode that was a re-telling of the Telltale Heart?
I feel like you could have a version of Little Shop
except it has to be the hologram meatloaf because it has to make no sense some fish dude is eating it
This may be the best-written Corman film I've ever seen. Like, it borders on funny! #monsterdon
Oooh I remember the carnation guy. Heβs why I have always wanted to eat carnations. Food value. Donβt knock it until you try it. #Monsterdon
Something Something At-Will Employment
...is he eating the flowers?
In my future utopia I'd have robot versions of Dick Miller delivering character and helping people....
#Monsterdon LOL, my dad used to say "I'll eat it here" when asked if he wanted a bag for inedible things. He said he did it to see if the clerks are paying attention.
the wacky music lets you know how funny it is
also having "Mrs. Shiva" shopping for a funeral is a bit heavy-handed #monsterdon
Don't look at your staff like that, if you haven't trained them then you are the fool...
