The Movie: Little Shop of Horrors (1960)
What Is It?: Roger
Corman’s funniest movie was shot in
about two minutes for the cost of a donut…and that’s 1960 donut prices, which
means the donut dealer actually paid you
to buy his donuts! Corman made the most of his teensy shooting schedule and
budget with an outrageous yet endearing tale of a boy’s love of a girl and a
houseplant’s love of eating people.
Why Today?: On
this day in 1926, Roger Corman is born. May he never
die.
