The Little Shop of Horrors ///1960 American horror comedy film trailer

The Little Shop of Horrors is a 1960 American horror comedy film directed by Roger Corman.

Written by Charles B.

Griffith, the film is a farce about an inadequate florist's assistant who cultivates a plant that feeds on human blood.

The film's concept may have been inspired by "Green Thoughts", a 1932 story by John Collier about a man-eating plant.

Hollywood writer Dennis McDougal suggests that Griffith may have been influenced by Arthur C.

Clarke's 1956 sci-fi short story "The Reluctant Orchid"[7] (which was in turn inspired by the 1905 H.

G.

Wells story "The Flowering of the Strange Orchid").
