Seymour’s dream of leaving his skid-row life behind becomes a possibility thanks to his discovery of a highly unusual plant. However, he has to keep its terrible secret from the public eye: it eats people! Frank Oz’s beloved film is based on the off-Broadway musical by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, itself adapted from the 1960s B-movie by Roger Corman. But it is the singing plant (an impressive feat of puppetry, voiced by The Four Tops’ lead vocalist Levi Stubbs) that steals the show.
