The Little Shop of Horrors is a 1960 black comedy film directed by Roger Corman. It tells the story of Seymour Krelboyne, an inadequate young florist's assistant who cultivates a plant that feeds on human blood and flesh. The film is famous for reputedly having been shot in two days.[1]

The film is also noteworthy for featuring a young Jack Nicholson in a small role as Wilbur Force, the dentist's masochistic patient.[1] Although Nicholson played only a small part, after he became famous many video releases showed him as the star, sometimes holding the plant on the front of the box, even though in the movie he never encounters it. Among some who haven't seen the movie, this has led to some confusion, causing them to believe that Nicholson played Seymour.

Although the film didn't get very much attention when it was originally released, it has since grown to cult classic status, thanks to its low budget and original style of humor. The film inspired a 1982 stage musical, and a 1986 feature film based on the musical. Today, The Little Shop of Horrors is in the public domain, and is widely available in copies of varying quality.
