‘Little Shop of Horrors’ returns to the big screen
Just in time for Halloween, “Little Shop of Horrors: The Director’s Cut” will return to select cinemas nationwide on Sunday, Oct. 29 and Tuesday, Oct. 31, courtesy of Fathom Events and Warner Bros. Written by the Oscar-winning team of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, it will also include a brand-new, exclusive interview with director Frank Oz.
Business is bad at Mushnick’s Flower shop. Shy Seymour and brave Audrey will soon be unemployed. That is until Seymour pricks his finger and a sickly little exotic plant gets its first taste of human blood. The plant spurts 10 feet tall. As horticultural interest in “Audrey II” sprouts, Mushnick’s business takes off. But fresh blood must be found — and people start disappearing. Love and business bloom at a hilarious yet bloody cost.
Starring Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene, Steve Martin and Vincent Gardenia in the leading roles with Levi Stubbs as the voice of Audrey II, the 1986 American rock musical horror comedy film will feature the rarely seen original ending.
Participating movie theaters in our neck of the woods include AMC Loews Stony Brook 17 (Oct. 29 and Oct. 31 at 2 and 7 p.m.); Farmingdale Multiplex Cinemas (at 7 p.m. both days); and Island 16 Cinema de Lux in Holtsville (at 7 p.m. both days).
