Launching my #monsterdon thread for the Little Shop of Horrors (1960), a movie where I think a plant eats people?
-
Yo #monsterdon which character has the most fucked up dialog in this movie?
I would list more options but I ran out of options.
Okay, so the shop owner tells Seymour to stay in the shop tonight. He does that but brings Audrey too so they can make out. But while they're making out the plant keeps screaming "Feed me!" and because Audrey is easily confused she thinks Seymour is talking about how hungry he is instead of kissing her, so she leaves angrily.
Seymour then berates the plant for being a total cockblock.

We learn that the plant has eaten enough people that it has the power of hypnosis, and it thus hypnotizes and commands Seymour to go find it more food.
He wanders trance-like through the city, past several prostitutes who are mad that he isn't interested in them. One of them trips him with a banana peel then tries to proposition him using old timey language that doesn't make sense. He replies "Master is Hungry" then wanders off.

Anyway, the ladies of the night are persistent, so they all proposition Seymour, who complains that they are too skinny and his master wants more meat. One of them "volunteers", thinking that she is signing up for a sex thing instead of a murder thing. Anyway, the mind controlled Seymour hits her with a rock then drags her back to the shop to feed the monster.

In the morning, a horde of botanical fangirls have gathered outside of the shop to give seymour an award and shower him with glory. The mom is there because her son is getting an award, and the cops are here because they think there are murders (they are right but probably also wrong).

The ladies decided that they wouldn't give Seymour an award because the flowers haven't opened yet. Then the flowers open and they all have the faces of the murdered people inside it. Seymour runs away, and the cops chase him.
The ladies who need flowers for their float walk up to the plant, look at the MURDERED FACES and say "Oh now the float will be perfect!"

So the cops are chasing Seymour past a horde of children and through a pile of tractor tires and start shooting at him. The shop owner is there for some reason; he seems to be hindering their search by tripping them, but they don't notice.
Seymour escapes them by hiding in the toilet maze, then returns to the shop.

The plant, says "feed me" and Seymour, distraught climbs into its maw to kill himself, and appears in a new flower. His mom says "Seymour" and he replies "But I didn't mean it" before his flower falls. Then credits.

I award Little Shop of Horrors (1960) 5 out of 5 spooky murdered face flowers, purely on the strength of how fucked up and weird it was.
Almost every sequence of dialog was baffling. Also, it was sort of a greek tragedy, just with a killer plant, and the flaw was a hunger for money and adoration? It managed to be both completely disturbed but also completely cheerful and not scary about how disturbed it was.

Anyway, this concludes this #monsterdon thread. Umm... remember not to murder people to feed your murder plant I guess? The adoration from hot girls and the money to buy your fancy dinners isn't worth it?
I think that's what we were going for?
Anyway thanks to @Taweret for hosting this, um, floral tragedy I guess?

@floatybirb Hot girls and money, you say? Tell me, where does one get ahold of one of these murder plants? Are they on sale in the lobby, maybe? #Monsterdon
