On this day, December 19, 1986, Little Shop of Horrors premiered in theaters. Directed by Frank Oz, the cult musical comedy stars Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene, Steve Martin, and features the voice of Levi Stubbs as the menacing plant, Audrey II.

Based on the off-Broadway musical, the film tells the story of Seymour (Rick Moranis), a meek flower shop assistant who discovers a strange plant with a taste for human blood. With show-stealing performances, catchy songs like “Suddenly, Seymour” and “Dentist!”, and fantastic puppetry, Little Shop of Horrors became a beloved cult classic, grossing $39 million on a $25 million budget.
