Little Shop of Horrors Returns to the Big Screen Two Days Only, October 29 and 31 with the Film’s Original Ending, Never Before Seen in Theaters

There are two types of Little Shop of Horrors fans. Those who loved the movie, and those who resented it for the happier ending that departed from the stage play. Well now, for the first time ever, this wickedly funny cult-hit musical “Little Shop of Horrors will be presented in movie theaters nationwide with its original, spectacular ending during a special two-day-only in-cinema event on October 29 and 31 from Fathom Events and Warner Bros. What’s more, HorrorBuzz is giving two tickets away to this special screening!

Little Shop of Horrors: The Director's Cut
Originally released in December 1986 and based on the off-Broadway musical adaptation of Roger Corman’s low-budget 1960 horror comedy, “Little Shop of Horrors” stars Rick Moranis as Seymour Krelborn, a loveable loser whose fortunes change when he discovers a mysterious plant he calls “Audrey II” after the demure love of his life, Audrey (Ellen Greene).  But as Audrey II (Levi Stubbs) grows, Seymour discovers the plant has a taste for blood, preferably human … and a lust for power.

Little Shop of Horrors was a watershed moment in movie musicals. It combined a stunning visual flair with a remarkable score by Ashman and Menken, who would go on to create such classic movie musicals as “The Little Mermaid,” “Beauty and the Beast” and “Aladdin.”  

“This special presentation of Little Shop of Horrors will delight longtime fans and also offer them a new sense of discovery in an ending that the studio and Frank Oz have allowed us to present for the very first time,” Tom Lucas, Fathom Events VP of Studio Relations, said. “For fans of movies and musicals, this is truly a cinematic event.”

In addition to the elaborate, 23-minute finale, which has been digitally restored to the acclaimed 1986 musical, this special theatrical presentation of Little Shop of Horrors written by the Oscar®-winning team of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, will also include a brand-new, exclusive interview with the film’s visionary director Frank Oz.

Fathom Events and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will present “Little Shop of Horrors” on Sunday, October 29, and Tuesday, October 31, at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. local time each day.
