The Little Shop of Horrors

In a rundown flower shop in Los Angeles, a timid and clumsy young man named Seymour Krelborn works under the oppressive thumb of his irritable boss, Gravis Mushnik. Seymour is smitten with his sweet but naive coworker, Audrey Fulquard, who is dating a sadistic dentist. Seymour's fortunes shift when he discovers a strange and exotic plant, which he names Audrey Jr. to impress Audrey. However, the plant begins to wilt, and Seymour accidentally learns that it has a peculiar craving for human blood when a drop of his own revives it. As Audrey Jr.'s appetite grows, it brings increased business and attention to the flower shop but requires more and more blood to thrive.

The pressures increase on Seymour as he struggles to keep Audrey Jr. satisfied while balancing his burgeoning feelings for Audrey and his fear of being discovered. This dark comedy escalates with the plant's demands and Seymour's desperate actions to maintain his secret. The story explores themes of greed, ambition, and the lengths to which a person might go to achieve their dreams, with Seymour caught in a moral conundrum that tightens around him like a vice.
