Very normal behavior for a dentist #Monsterdon

Mrs Shiva, one would think, were Jewish, but I'll note that we don't send flowers, they're not part of our detailed and variegated funerary traditions.

We've seen that dude in a bunch of #Monsterdon films. #LittleShopOfHorrors

And ENYA is in this?!!

#Monsterdon

Yes, no songs! Fuck musicals! #monsterdon

“He got blown up. Who knows how?"

“That’s nice. Would you like some flowers?”

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon this shop is very jewish-coded :D

See, the joke that he does the posters himself in pidgin Yiddish-English.

#monsterdon

new & used loans and cash??? (in this economy?)

I like the illustration opening sequence even though it’s a budget choice #monsterdon

#Monsterdon At least Prime tels you how long the ads will be

I saw the original LITTLE SHOP OF HORROR long before the musical remake, so I had forgotten just how terrible it is. Even if you make allowances for what they called "sick humor" around 1960, failed jokes only remind you what a precious gift true comedy is. Those were some unfunny performances, with the possible exception of the cops of clipped cadence, and maybe the hypochondriac mother in the dinner date.

Audrey Jr, the hungry, hungry flower was the true star, from the cute little Belgian endive in a coffee can, to the massive corpse flower (literally!) mockingly unfurling the faces of its victims. Kudos to the ones who saw there was a gem in the rough.

Still, I'm one of the ones who voted for this #Monsterdon , so I shouldn't be so hard on it. Thanks everyone for watching, and thanks @Taweret for hosting.

So apparently the Piranha Plants in the Mario series were directly inspired by Audrey Jr.

#Monsterdon

@diazona Thanks, Has Audrey eaten humans yet?

#Monsterdon

The deep cut of having muses/fates/furies as a chorus is so great.

#monsterdon #WrongShop

oh mai. baby has a deep voice
#Monsterdon

Just came from Big Money Hustlas watch party now in #Monsterdon Miru. How much have I missed of Wrong Little Shop of Horrors?

Weird World Of Wink Wilkerson reminds me of modern podcasts that should really be fucking video since they're trying to describe shit that needs to be fucking seen. For fucks' sake.

#monsterdon #WrongShop

#Monsterdon
Well. I had fun!

Thanks, y'all! And happy trails....
:raccoon_cool:

@Fragglemuppet Oh I gotcha, makes sense.

I suppose I don't often think about that but I really don't have a good reason why!

#Monsterdon

sesaww right?

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe

Even in death, Seymour does not accept responsibility for his sins!
:welp:

#Monsterdon

@LuluHelle 😂 💀

#Monsterdon

that wipe is epic
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon I have to find the cassette that I have of the soundtrack from the play. My high school did a field trip to go see it.
I'm sure it's in a box somewhere.

Fun Little Shop of Horrors musical trivia:

Steve Martin's song is totally riffing on the Elvis movie Roustabout in the first verse, when he's on the motorbike with the leather jacket. 🤣

#Monsterdon

@Fragglemuppet Personally I tend to ignore that line of thought during #Monsterdon ... it makes it more fun for me to experience the movie "organically" than to try to reconstruct how viewers in its day would have thought of it

Though it's very rare that I've seen any version of a #Monsterdon movie before

Even the goddamn foley in this movie is ridiculous. The little "donk" when baby Audrey II's head hits the coffee can.

#monsterdon #WrongShop

@SRLevine absolutely not bad enough for #Monsterdon

for urchins, they have access to some fabulous gowns
#Monsterdon

@SRLevine too good imo. maybe for comedon? #Monsterdon

I think Jack Antonoff of Bleachers took a lot of style inspiration from Rick Moranis’s Seymour Krelborn.

#Monsterdon

For those who enjoyed Mr. Mushnik, may I suggest this book.

Ellen Greene is a FUCKING TREASURE

@msh @Taweret

I assumed, with the knife, he was planning to kill the plant? But it didn't work out?

I mean, he was that inept.

#Monsterdon

frozen dinner lifestyle goal
#Monsterdon

@apLundell

Remarkably resourceful!
Corman really knew how to stretch a budget!

#Monsterdon

Ever think of older pop culture and how it might've been received when it was new instead of just an old curiosity? Like tonight's #Monsterdon for example. We mostly know the 80s movie and play, and some of us learn about the 1960 movie and watch it just for the novelty, knowing the story and doing comparisons. But what about people in 1960 who didn't know what was coming?

I think about that with a lot of older things like that.

girl there is no semi in that sadist
#Monsterdon

tadaaaaa i did a grow.
aint i a cutie??
#Monsterdon

the sound fx for the plant are GREAT. i am talking the leaves moving and such sounds
#Monsterdon

@paco @_L1vY_ oh that's a good point

I had kind of assumed the head was in that bag somewhere and it was just straight-up displaying the original face

#Monsterdon

nyaaaaaaaaw the henson pod is super kawaii
#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe yes please #TeamMonster

#Monsterdon

I remember seeing this episode as a kid. It's kinda the same plot line.

#Monsterdon

I gave it two stars at #letterboxd because it wasn't the worst horror comedy we've seen and it did have some goofy scenes that were worth sitting through. And it passed the Bechdel test, always nice to see https://letterboxd.com/anderson_petaq/film/the-little-shop-of-horrors/ #monsterdon

like the last days of your LIFE

"They're presenting my son with a trophy."
"Yeah, what'd he do. Run away from home?"

Yeah, I'd say that would earn him a trophy. #Monsterdon

i get goosebumpy with this last NOTE
#Monsterdon

Excellent selection!

#Monsterdon #LittleShopOfHorrors1960

@NilaJones All I could think was "shake the dew off my lily". It's not a good pickup line. 😃

#monsterdon
@steggy

no you're mouthing all the lyrics at home
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon LMAO gj VLC, I queue up the one that's not 'We have Little Shop at home' and it throws in that one's subs.

if i didn't have to work tomorrow i'd stay up to watch the musical little shop of horrors but alas i cannot

thanks @Taweret for hosting, i had lots of fun as usual! i enjoyed it more this time around compared to the first time i watched it, partly thanks to the #monsterdon crowd :)

BETTER OURSELVES!!
This is epic this song
#Monsterdon

Isn't a gate with NO TRESPASSING usually locked?

#Monsterdon

OK, so I've now seen this one. I really should watch the later musical version, too.

Fun! Another enjoyable #Monsterdon, in the can!

I really enjoyed that. but a lot more haters during this #monsterdon than I remember from before. I think I'll go back to muting the hashtag.

Well normally I'd go squeeze in something like an episode of the X-Files before the night's over but I suppose if @ryan is gonna put on the musical now...

#monsterdon

So what, the World just pretends plants don't absorb live humans and torment them for weeks, slowly digesting them while they are still somewhat conscious?

Young Jack Nicholson?!

#Monsterdon

Did the plant just confess?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I had only ever seen the musical. I didn't know about this at all.

@blue @jonny And then 20 minutes of Audrey II stomping around the city and laughing.

#monsterdon #littleshop60

the musical is on now on https://miru.miyaku.media/ #wrongLittleShop #Monsterdon

@jonny the stage musical ends with *everyone* getting eaten because it's an alien plant, and the final song implies that its going to take over the earth

#monsterdon

@_L1vY_ they're not quite dead in there, though they might wish they were... #Monsterdon

I'd seen the musical version with Moranis, but not the OG B&W version. That was fun.

#Monsterdon. #LittleShopOfHorrors

There are too few films with a Greek chorus in them imho
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Carnivorus Plant Wrangler is the name of my Arizona cowboy band.

i highly recommend Matt Baume's video about Howard Ashman which talks about how the Corman film ended up being adapted into the musical

#Monsterdon

@catzilla Badum Tissss… #Monsterdon

@LuluHelle wow way to raise the bar, doing actual prep work

#Monsterdon

Oh, yes! Now, the musical is showing on @miru’s stream!

#Monsterdon

@_L1vY_ #Monsterdon is happening!

@ohiofi Little shop of SKIBIDI. #Monsterdon

This was definitely some of Roger Corman's finest work. Cheesy yet incredibly dark humor!

Thank you for laughing along everyone, and thank you @Taweret for hosting another great #Monsterdon. See you all next week!

Anyone TIREd of this sequence? #monsterdon

Seymour was the dumbest boy on skidrow. Now he's fertilizer.
It's over!
