Little Shop of Horrors (2021 film)

Little Shop of Horrors is a 2021 musical horror film directed by Greg Berlanti, based on the musical comedy of the same name written by Howard Ashman with music by Alan Menken, which was based on the 1960 film The Little Shop of Horrors, directed by Roger Corman. The film stars Ben Platt, Dove Cameron, J.K. Simmons, Matthew Morrison, and Mark Hamill as the voice of Audrey II, with Destiny's Child as the three urchins and cameo appearances from Ellen Greene, Jack Black, Bill Hader, Neil Patrick Harris, Ryan Reynolds, Adam Sandler, and others.

Like other adaptations of the story, the film follows Seymour Krelborn (Platt), a passive, nerdy man working for a florist shop on the filthy town of Skid Row, owned by Mr. Mushnik (Simmons), who discovers a strange flytrap-like plant lovingly dubbed "Audrey II". It soon becomes the main attraction on Skid Row, bringing Seymour fame, fortune, and everything one could wish for. Unfortunately for Seymour (and all of mankind), this plant needs human blood to grow, and when it begins to demand more blood than one man can give, poor Seymour is forced to commit murder. Meanwhile, Seymour's secret crush (and the plant's namesake), Audrey (Bell), is in an abusive relationship with sadistic dentist Orin Scrivello (D.D.S.) (Morrison), and while Seymour's meek demeanor prevents any dominate action on his part, all it takes is a little push from Audrey II and Seymour serves revenge in a dish best served bloody.

The most notable difference between this film and other adaptations of the play is the downplaying of its comedic elements and a larger emphasis on genuine horror. For example, the song "Now (It's Just the Gas)" is removed from the film (although the song was included on the film's soundtrack album, released two days after it opened in theaters, as performed by Ben Platt and Mark Hamill; "Ya Never Know", another song cut from the film, is also included on the album, as performed by J.K. Simmons, Ben Platt, and Destiny's Child) and the scene where Orin suffocates to death from his laughing gas is replaced with Seymour becoming so incensed over Orin insulting Audrey that he grabs a chainsaw and chops up the screaming dentist before feeding his bloody remains to Audrey II, justifying the crime to Mr. Mushnik as being for Audrey's sake. Some of the dialogue and song lyrics are rewritten (for example, "He knows your life of crime" from "Suppertime" to "He knows about your crime"), Seymour omits "...and so am I!" when referring to Audrey II as a monster during the climax, and a sequence is added during Patrick Martin's appearance where Seymour flashes back to the events of the film, realizing in horror that the plant had a plan to take over the world, and that he had helped it grow in power. Unlike the theatrical version of the 1986 film, the movie ends with the song "Don't Feed the Plants", as in the stage version, where Audrey II succeeds in conquering the world.

Little Shop of Horrors was produced by Berlanti Productions and Marc Platt Productions and released in the United States by Warner Bros. Pictures on September 21, 2021. The film was primarily shot on-location at the Bowery, known as New York's Skid Row; and at Central City East, the Los Angeles Skid Row, to accurately depict the Skid Row featured in the show. Scenes taking place inside the florist shop, as well as the "Somewhere That's Green", "The Meek Shall Inherit" and "Don't Feed the Plants" sequences, were filmed on the soundstages of Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California, with the latter having to be shot outside due to the size of the Audrey II puppets. The film received mixed reviews, with the direction, acting (particularly the performances of Platt, Cameron, Simmons, Morrison, and Hamill), songs, special effects, and overall presentation praised, with criticism largely directed at Seymour's change in characterization starting from the end of the first act; most critics argued that Seymour is not supposed to be an intentional killer. The film is dedicated to Kyle Renick (former artistic director of the WPA Theatre), who died in 2019; the credits also include a dedication for Howard Ashman.

Little Shop of Horrors was filmed on a $280 million budget and received an R rating from the Motion Pictures Association of America for scenes with graphic violence and mild language. The film was released on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray on January 14, 2022, with bonus features including a sing-along option, interviews with the cast and crew, the making-of documentary "Feed Me!: The Making of Little Shop of Horrors", an audio description option (narrated by Leilani Jones Wilmore, who played Chiffon in the original off-Broadway production), and five shorts depicting the creation and execution of Little Shop's special effects ("Moving the Plant" features footage of Audrey II's puppeteers at work, "The Dentist Meets His End" sees how Seymour killing Orin was pulled off, "From Mushnik to Mush" explains how the crew simulated Mr. Mushnik being devoured by the plant, "The Final Battle" shows the workings of the climactic battle between Seymour and Audrey II, and "Taking Over the World" details the making of the "Don't Feed the Plants" ending number).

The following year, an alternate cut of the film, labelled "The Horror Cut" in North America and "The Bloody Cut" in Europe, was released on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray (the latter two contains both cuts of the film). This cut of the film, also rated R and advertised with the tagline "The cut they didn't want you to see...and you'll wish you never did," is even darker and gorier than the theatrical version. While much of the film is the same as in the theatrical cut, there are many shots and even scenes that are completely different from the ones featured in the final version. In chronological order:
 * At the beginning of the film, Earth is in a blood red color instead of being missing. The voice of the narrator is also that of Corey Burton instead of Brian Cummings.
 * During "Dentist!", instead of putting a bear trap over a waiting patient's head, Orin Scrivello completely rips off his jaw.
 * Instead of telling Seymour that he can be successful with Audrey II, Orin simply laughs at Seymour and tells him that he'll always be a worthless nobody, no matter what he does. Seymour, ever the spineless wimp, says, "Yes, Mr...uh--", leading to the dentist punching him in the mouth and snapping, "That's Dr. Orin Scrivello, D.D.S.! And don't you forget it." Once Seymour returns to the shop, Mushnik tells him not to care about what Orin says.
 * Mr. Mushnik's death is changed. After Seymour says, "But it's true, isn't it?" and is about to leave the shop, Mushnik asks what he did with the rest of the murder evidence. Seymour lies, claiming he put them inside the plant (when he dumped them into a garbage truck), and leaves the shop as Mushnik looks down Audrey II's gaping trap. The plant suddenly bites off Mushnik's head, chomps on it for a few seconds, and swallows it whole, before it uses its tongue to pick up the rest of Mushnik's body and eat it, all complete with the sounds of crunching bones and squishing flesh, and large amounts of blood squirting out of Audrey II's mouth, ultimately leaving a bloody aftermath surrounding Audrey II's pot.
 * Audrey II's laugh after Seymour pulls Audrey out of its mouth is different.
 * After Audrey dies, the gun Seymour uses to try to kill himself fires a harmless blank rather than jamming.
 * Patrick Martin is portrayed by Steve Buscemi instead of Adam Sandler.
 * The climax is also completely different; after hearing Patrick Martin's sales pitch, Seymour refuses his offer and demands him to leave. Ms. Geffen runs in (having overheard the discussion) and asks what's going on. Seymour tells her about Audrey II needing blood to grow, and that he's already fed three people to the plant. Ms. Geffen offers to help Seymour fight off Audrey II and stop the distribution deal, figuring out that the plant could be looking to overthrow the human race as the dominant species on Earth. During the duel, Audrey II reveals its new offspring and uses them to try and eat Seymour and Ms. Geffen. The two run out of the shop and into the streets, while Audrey II, who destroys the florist shop, stalks after them. Ms. Geffen is eventually caught by the plant and thrown into its mouth with a sickening bite. Seymour continues running, eventually taking shelter behind a brick wall. Unfortunately, the plant is able to smash its way through that, and before Seymour can escape again, Audrey II wraps one of its vines around Seymour's body and lifts him up to its head. Then, in the film's most nauseating scene, the plant eats a screaming Seymour in three bites: first, the plant chomps Seymour's head, face and brain matter into mush, then it devours his body during the second bite, before it finally chews his lower half while slurping the guts hanging out of its mouth as if they were noodles. After it's finally consumed Seymour, the plant cackles (the laugh heard after Seymour pulls Audrey out of the plant's mouth in the theatrical cut) as the camera zooms into its disgusting, blood-squirting mouth as the screen turns red.
 * That's when the "Don't Feed the Plants" number plays, with its beginning and end shots entirely redone. During the start of the song, Crystal, Ronette and Chiffon are dressed as demons as they explain how Audrey II took over the world. Near the end, the camera zooms out from the plants and into the sky until it pans out to the blood red Earth from the beginning of the film. As the song ends, Audrey II appears above the planet, wrapping its vines around it and laughing maniacally until the screen cuts to black, accompanied by the sound of a giant crunch, after which the credits roll.
 * Finally, instead of the Porky Pig variant from the theatrical cut, the film ends with the regular Warner Bros. ending logo, but five seconds after it fades to black, without warning, an entire legion of roaring, cackling Audrey II plants (each one a different size and bearing a slasher smile) jumps out to scare the viewer one last time, then lunge at the camera as crunching, slurping, cracking and squishing sounds are heard.

Ten Audrey IIs, all of varying sizes, were built for this film by Jim Henson's Creature Shop (the Los Angeles shop designing the animatronics, and the New York shop handling the puppet construction and fabrication), based on puppet designs for the original musical by Martin P. Robinson. Robinson was directly involved with the creation of the puppets, overseeing the building process and even serving as principal performer for Audrey II, leading his fellow puppeteers from the Jim Henson Company (he also coordinated the puppeteers' performances, served as a creative consultant, performed plant 2, worked the crane lifting the head of plant 9, and was lead puppeteer for "Don't Feed the Plants"). To ensure that no jealousy or conflict occurred between them, each performer took turns operating the mouth, while the others controlled the tongue, vines, and leaves. For example, Robinson was lead plant performer for the song "Grow for Me", Karen Prell performed the plant's mouth during "Feed Me", David Rudman lip-synced to "Suppertime", Joey Mazzarino performed the mouth in the "Suppertime" reprise, and Kevin Clash was head puppeteer in the climax. The "Don't Feed the Plants" number featured three puppets of the plant at its largest size, all reused for several shots to illustrate the idea of a large plant army taking over Earth, with the main performers controlling the mouth of each plant, swapping puppeteers from shot to shot. The massive plants required over 2,300 people to puppeteer them.

Plot
The movie begins with the current Warner Bros. logo. The logo disappears and, after the daytime sky turns to night, we zoom through outer space until we reach the solar system. However, Earth is completely missing, replaced with a wide, smoky gap between Venus and Mars. Narration is heard throughout:

"On the twenty-first day of the month of September, in an early year of a decade not long before our own, the human race suddenly encountered a deadly threat to its very existence. And this terrifying enemy surfaced, as such enemies often do, in the seemingly most innocent and unlikely of places..."

The scene changes to a shot of a florist shop with the words "Little Shop of Horrors" printed on the front door. Three street urchins (Crystal, Ronette, and Chiffon) introduce the film, as they tell of forthcoming horror ("Prologue/Little Shop of Horrors"), much to the disbelief of everyone they encounter. We are introduced to Seymour Krelborn, a pathetic orphan living in a gritty New York neighborhood called "Skid Row", and Audrey, a beautiful but meek woman with a tacky fashion sense and no self-worth. Both desperately wish to escape the city but can't because they're poor and down on their luck ("Skid Row (Downtown)"). They work at the florist shop, run and owned by the grumpy but well-meaning Mr. Mushnik, one that's run-down and on the verge of bankruptcy. Seymour has recently bought a new, weird-looking plant (named "Audrey II", after his secret crush), claiming that it is the result of crossbreeding (experimenting with a flytrap and a butterwort), but doesn't know what it needs to grow. Suddenly, a man stops by the store and notices the plant, asking Seymour where he got it. Seymour, after getting the man to promise not to tell Mr. Mushnik (who had left before the customer arrived), reveals ("Da-Doo") that, about a month ago, he was walking by a florist shop run by a Chinese man, when a total eclipse of the sun occurred. As it did, a new plant suddenly materialized in the shop, and while even the Chinese man had no idea where it came from, he offered to sell it to Seymour for a cheap price. The man, fascinated by the story, offers to buy a dandelion as he exits the store for $100, eventually paying Mr. Mushnik the money to buy four of them, since dandelions only cost $25.

In his bedroom underneath the shop, after Mushnik gives him a week to nurse the plant back to health, Seymour laments to a dying Audrey II that he has tried numerous ways to make it grow, all to no avail, and wonders aloud what the plant needs ("Grow for Me"). During the song, while filing Mushnik's taxes, Seymour gets a paper cut and his finger bleeds. This attracts Audrey II's appetite, and Seymour realizes that's what the plant needs to grow; he reluctantly agrees to feed it a few drops of blood (though he admits having a bad feeling about it). However, instead of only a few drops, a small stream of blood leaks from Seymour's finger into Audrey II's mouth. Nevertheless, once Seymour exits the room, Audrey II does indeed grow. The plant soon becomes a popular tourist attraction on Skid Row, revitalizing Mushnik's business and making Seymour the hottest celebrity in town, much to Mushnik's pure delight. Meanwhile, Audrey returns with a black eye and her arm in a sling, and despite concern from Ms. Geffen, her neighbor, she is too afraid to leave her abusive boyfriend. That said, Audrey does have feelings for Seymour, and secretly wishes to live a modest life in the suburbs and start a family with him ("Somewhere That's Green"). Just like in the 1986 film, the song is accompanied by a fantasy sequence that shows Audrey and Seymour living together in a tract house with two children, preparing frozen dinners and playing in the backyard. Unfortunately, her lack of self-esteem prevents her from believing she even deserves this lifestyle.

Meanwhile, Mushnik decides to renovate the shop using all the money they've made from Audrey II being displayed in the window and asks Seymour to help him. Audrey arrives late again, her injuries still remaining. Mushnik angrily demands to know who she's been dating, and in the next scene, we get the answer: Orin Scrivello, a shameless sadist who rides around on a Harley, gets off on bringing pain and suffering to those around him, and has a job as a dentist ("Dentist!"). During his song, Orin, through voiceover, describes his early life: as a child, he took pleasure from harming and killing animals. His mother, noticing his violent tendencies, suggests he put them to good use and become a dentist; after all, "People will pay you to be inhumane." During the second half of the song, a now adult Orin arrives to work and, in succession, displays his violence by kicking a woman in the groin, dropping a bear trap on a man's head, and twisting a child's neck (with a loud crack). At the end of the song, Orin begins to check on his first patient, telling him to say "AAH!" as he drills a hole through his tooth, after which he spits out blood, upon Orin's command. Orin's mere presence intimidates anyone who sees him, including Seymour, who calls him "a disgrace to the oral care industry. And the motorcycle industry." Orin, interested by Audrey II, tells Seymour, introduced by Audrey as her boyfriend, to take the plant and get out of Skid Row, explaining that he could "go big on Wall Street" with a plant like that. Mushnik then realizes that the plant (and Seymour) is the sole reason why his shop has been doing good business as of late, and he offers to adopt Seymour as his "son" and have him as his business partner. Seymour happily accepts ("Mushnik and Son").

Alone in the shop, Seymour reflects on his newfound fame, and thanks the plant for helping him achieve local recognition and revitalizing business in the shop ("Sudden Changes"). As he leaves for a bite to eat, however, the plant starts dying again, and as Seymour tells it that he needs to heal his finger, he hears cries of, "Feed me!" Audrey II reveals itself to be able to talk and demands to be fed more. Seymour has very little blood left to give, sarcastically asking if Audrey II wants him to slit his wrists (to which the plant responds by dropping its jaw in a comical fashion, allowing its tongue to hang out). Audrey II refuses Seymour's offer of chopped sirloin from the local butcher shop, and insisting it must be blood, and it must be fresh. The plant's craving for blood is so strong that it doesn't care if Seymour has to start killing people to get more of it, even promising it will "make it worth your while." The plant promises Seymour everything he's ever dreamed of, including fame, fortune, and Audrey, the girl he loves, if he continues to feed it ("Feed Me (Git It)"). Throughout the song, Audrey II plays genie and shows Seymour luxuries mentioned in the song: the driver's seat of a 1960s' Cadillac (with the plant in the passenger's seat), the set of Tonight Starring Jack Paar (using archive footage of said show with Seymour and Audrey II, both black-and-white, inserted into the shot), a diner table seated next to Hedy Lamarr (a digital recreation of the late actress), a fancy restaurant (filmed at Sardi's in Manhattan), and an actual bedroom at New York's Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Shots are also shown of Audrey II as a genie (similar in design to the Disney character) and a stereotypical African slave (with Seymour dressed as Aladdin and a slave owner, respectively); Seymour dressed as King Tut (identical to Steve Martin's SNL costume) with Audrey II as his subject, and Seymour dressed similarly to Orin Scrivello and riding a Harley (with Audrey II as his passenger). Seymour, though tempted by these offers, refuses, showing clear disgust at the notion that anyone could deserve to be slaughtered and fed to a hungry plant, as the plant itself claims. Audrey II directs his attention to Orin, who continues to berate and abuse Audrey outside for driving his motorcycle (and nearly causing an accident). Inside Audrey's apartment, Orin attempts to rape her and smothers her cries for help. This is the last straw for a now incensed and vengeful Seymour, who declares, his voice filled with raw rage, that the dentist has more than enough blood to feed the plant, encouraged by the ravenous Audrey II, its voice displaying complete disgust by what it's just seen.

After Orin finishes with a masochistic patient named Arthur Denton, who wishes for "a long, slow root canal", Seymour barges through the door, armed with a chainsaw. This terrifies Orin, who tries to reason with Seymour and demands he drop the tool, and even promises to quit his job and leave Skid Row, never to return. Seymour contemplates letting Orin live, until the misogynistic dentist calls Audrey "a pathetic slut with a lotta ass but no balls." This insult pushes Seymour over the edge, as he grinds the dentist into chunks as he screams for mercy. Outside, Ms. Geffen witnesses Seymour committing the murder and runs off to phone the police. Soon after, Seymour drags the pieces of Orin's body, stuffed into a garbage bag, outside, leaving a heavy trail of blood, and leaves the bag on the doorstep of Mushnik's. Audrey II has to reach for the bag by itself in order to get to its meal, after which it ravages off Orin's remains, complete with slurping, nauseating sounds of bone crunching and flesh squishing, and blood flying out of the plant's mouth, before laughing maniacally. Desperate to cover up the murder, Seymour disposes Orin's dentist uniform into an oncoming garbage truck and washes his hands of any blood stains. However, he forgets to clean the blood off the florist shop floor and the chainsaw.

The next morning, Seymour wakes up to find the police at Audrey's house, asking her about the dentist's disappearance; they suspect that "foul play" was involved. Audrey confesses to Seymour that while she's happy that Orin is finally gone, she also feels guilty, because deep down, she wished the day would come. When asked by Seymour why she was willing to put up with Orin, Audrey reveals she was once a stripper at a nightclub, wearing crude, tacky attires, and believes she deserves no better man than Dr. Scrivello. Seymour tries to convince Audrey to put her relationship with Orin in the past, telling her that there are nicer guys willing to do anything to please a girl like Audrey, subtly revealing his own feelings for her ("Suddenly, Seymour"). At the end of the song, Seymour and Audrey share a passionate kiss. After this, the two say goodbye and Seymour returns to the shop to take a nap in his room. Suddenly, Mr. Mushnik emerges from the shadows, unintentionally scaring Seymour, and reveals that Ms. Geffen, a frequent customer at the shop, had told him that she had witnessed Seymour murder Orin. While Mushnik claims he refused to believe it at first, he started noticing something was up when he discovered the trail of blood on the road connecting from the dentist's office to his shop, something that Seymour tries to pass off as a huge paint spill; followed by little red dots all over the floor in the shop, which Seymour refers to as stains of wine that he didn't clean up well. Mushnik then asks Seymour what he calls the big, red splatters on Mushnik's chainsaw.

It's at this moment that the voice of Audrey II appears in Seymour's head, telling him that he must get rid of Mushnik now, or else he will lose Audrey's love and his new reputation will be ruined ("Suppertime"). Mr. Mushnik exasperatedly asks Seymour how he could do this, and Seymour tries to justify the murder as being for the sake of Audrey. This causes Mr. Mushnik to suspect that Seymour's crush on Audrey, something Mushnik himself has very much known for years, was his motivation for the crime; after all, Seymour named the plant after her, she was dating the dentist, and Mushnik actually caught a glimpse of them kissing a few minutes ago. When asked if he was jealous of Orin because the dentist had everything Seymour didn't and wanted to have (including Audrey), Seymour dismisses the dentist as an irredeemable scumbag who is now in Hell, "the one place where he can finally face justice for his years of causing pain to everyone else," and even boasting that he "did Skid Row a favor!" In response, Mushnik decides to report Seymour to the police, telling Seymour that while it hurts to turn him in, he insists it's best that Seymour go to prison before he can kill again. Seymour, in turn, claims that ever since he found Audrey II, he's come to the realization that there are a lot of people in the world, including Dr. Scrivello, deserving of death. Mushnik lambasts this as a horrible sentiment, to which Seymour, echoing the plant, bitterly remarks "But it's true, isn't it?" Seymour leaves the shop without another word, leaving Mushnik shaken and speechless. Without warning, Audrey II chomps down on Mushnik's head and begins to eat him. As he's being eaten, the defiant Mushnik angrily screams, "Seymour Krelborn! You son of a--!" before being swallowed whole inside the plant. Outside the shop, Seymour watches Mushnik's consumption with a deathly glare on his face.

It's not long after that Seymour is greeted by journalists, salesmen, businessmen, network executives, talent agents, television producers, financial investors, magazine publishers, news reporters and photographers, all promising Seymour TV appearances, magazine photo ops, lecture tours, licensing deals, and even more fame and fortune ("The Meek Shall Inherit"). Seymour is met with offers from a network executive at NBC, the wife of the editor of Life Magazine, and a man in charge of booking lecture tours, all revolving around Audrey II. In a dream sequence, Seymour, at first, is interested in their offers (even hoping he'll become richer by keeping the plant around), but then tries to talk himself out of it, realizing that if he gave in and signed their contracts, he'd have to "keep on doing all these bloody, awful things" to preserve the plant, and begins to have nightmares about himself turning into Audrey II. Seymour initially decides to destroy Audrey II for good, activating up a cigar lighter as if to incinerate the plant, but then worries that if he did so and became broke and unemployed again, without the plant, Audrey may not love him anymore (symbolized by Audrey running through Seymour as if he were a ghost, hugging the plant instead of him). Against his own will, but feeling he has no other choice, Seymour begins signing contracts left and right as he agrees to publicize and monetize his plant, effectively selling his soul to the Devil.

As Seymour begins writing a love letter to Audrey, Audrey II (which now barely fits inside the florist shop) begins squawking for more blood. Seymour becomes annoyed with the plant, particularly about why it won't eat other types of meat, like roast turkey or smoked salmon, instead of just human blood. Audrey II complains about not being fed since eating Mr. Mushnik a week ago, to which Seymour tells it to wait until he and Audrey begin dating, then, in his words, the plant will "never go hungry again." Audrey walks in on Seymour rambling about Audrey II, and smacks him back to his senses, then asks when Mr. Mushnik will return from "visiting his long-lost stepdaughter in Cincinnati." Seymour asks Audrey if she would still love him even if he had never bought Audrey II to begin with, to which Audrey reassures that she'd love Seymour no matter what. Smiling on the outside but depressed inside, Seymour, after successfully asking Audrey out on a date, promises her that they'll soon be out of Skid Row and into the house and lifestyle she's always dreamed of, before asking her politely to leave the shop so he can pull himself together. Audrey obliges and runs off into the night. All alone in the shop now, Seymour tells himself that he's decided that the day he and Audrey leave Skid Row, he will destroy the plant.

Audrey II resumes demanding to be fed. Having just about had it with the "vegetable", Seymour offers to pick up "a nice medium rare" for it to eat. The plant refuses, insisting once again it must be fed blood, but after Seymour begins screaming that it's his last offer, it bitterly answers "It better be fresh." Seymour gradually calms down and runs off, but not before telling Audrey II not to even think about dessert. After he leaves, the plant gets angry about not getting dessert, and decides to get some payback on its owner. Worried about Seymour, Audrey walks around aimlessly in her apartment. Suddenly, the voice of Audrey II telepathically appears in her head, hypnotizing Audrey ("Suppertime (Reprise)"). As she returns the shop, she discovers the plant in its default position, with only its voice providing clues to her as to its sentience. Audrey II tells an overwhelmed Audrey to water it quickly, as its "branches" are beginning to "dry up". However, this is all a ruse, for as Audrey returns with a watering can, the plant reveals its full sentience and prepares to eat her, even revealing to her with twisted glee that "your dentist friend" (Orin Scrivello) and Mr. Mushnik are "right inside!" In the spur of the moment, Audrey II wraps some of its vines around the mouth of a screaming Audrey and uses other vines to pick up the shop's telephone to call Seymour, telling him, "The dessert came to me!", punctuated by a stomach-churning crunch. A horrified Seymour returns to the shop to find Audrey in the plant's trap, and forcefully pulls her out while Audrey II unleashes its most terrifying laugh, exclaiming mockingly, "No dessert, huh, Krelborn?!" Despite Seymour's attempts to save Audrey, the damage is done; Audrey has lost most of her blood from the experience, and her death is inevitable. As her dying wish, Audrey asks Seymour to feed her to the plant, happy that "finally, [she]'ll be somewhere that's green." ("Somewhere That's Green (Reprise)") This time, Seymour doesn't have to feed Audrey to the plant himself, for as he sobs and softly places her head down, Audrey II catches her head with its lower lip and gently pushes her back towards its mouth, not closing the trap until she's completely inside. After this, the plant lowers its head and sniffles while shedding a "tear".

Seymour grabs a shotgun from the back of the shop and steps outside, prepared to commit public suicide. He pulls the trigger, only to find the weapon jammed. Patrick Martin, V.P. of Licensing and Marketing at World Botanical Enterprises, approaches the despondent Seymour, who tells Martin to go away and leave him alone. The determined Martin tells Seymour, who tries to argue that he's not interested, that he has a business proposal for him; WBE has sent Martin to ask for Seymour's permission to sell miniature Audrey IIs, made from leaf cuttings of Seymour's plant, in stores across America, while also paying Seymour 30% of the profits from every Audrey II sold. Mr. Martin is confident that all American households will soon own an Audrey II, and that they can even sell the cuttings all over the world (Martin specifically mentions England, Mexico, Germany, France, Japan, China, and the USSR). Martin further ensures that "with the right advertising, this could be bigger than hula hoops!" and asks Seymour if they have a deal, to which Seymour responds that he'll go home to think about it. Martin gives Seymour all the time he needs but tells him that he has a truck full of pots waiting around the corner.

Seymour returns to the shop to think about Patrick Martin's proposition. Considering that a plan to mass market Audrey II would mean hundreds of millions of talking, ravenous plants everywhere, Seymour realizes that it would eventually lead to world conquest. Audrey II, which has now grown so tall that it has smashed through the roof (leaving its head and a quarter of its neck towering over the shop), responds, "And I want to thank you!" As Seymour finds out too late, this is exactly what the plant (actually a creature from outer space) had in mind all along. Calling Audrey II "a monster" and berating it for eating "the only person [he] ever loved", Seymour decides that the plant must be destroyed now. He uses a machine gun, a large pack of rat poison, a butchering knife, a pickaxe, a flamethrower, and a stick of lit dynamite to off Audrey II, all with no success. Finally, a desperate Seymour whips out the chainsaw with which he killed Orin Scrivello. "You made me kill the dentist with this...and now...it's time you got your just desserts!" A very poor choice of words, for as Seymour runs into the plant's trap, it gobbles him up, then burps out the chainsaw. Patrick Martin soon returns, looking for Seymour in the shop, with no success, although he does spot the bloodied chainsaw. Still insistent that he doesn't need Seymour's help, Martin directs his co-workers to start taking leaf cuttings and loading them into their moving truck. The camera pans out of the shop and up towards the night sky, with the Moon shining bright amongst the stars.

After this, we pan back down and see Crystal, Ronette, and Chiffon standing in front of a large supermarket, as they, through song ("Don't Feed the Plants"), reveal that similar plants across the United States began to attract other "unsuspecting jerks, from Maine to California," and "sweet-talked" them into feeding them blood, just as the original Audrey II did with Seymour, until they were big and powerful enough to rampage through whole cities, devouring everyone in sight. As they sing, we see an enormous crowd of shoppers stampeding into the supermarket to buy an Audrey II as if it were a Cabbage Patch Kid; the scene eventually escalates into an all-out brawl, complete with plants being tossed around like hot potatoes. The scene then fades to a movie theater, where a film entitled "It Came from Beyond the Moon" is playing; specifically, a scene featuring the U.S. army battling a giant Audrey II as it wreaks havoc on New York City, while the three girls sing about the plants growing to epic proportions (thanks to all the "jerks" who kept feeding them their blood) and beginning "what they came here to do": to eat Cleveland, Des Moines, Peoria, New York, and everywhere else. As the words "THE END" appear on the movie screen, the girls burst through the screen and shout "And where you live!" before enormous plant vines burst through the walls and drag several moviegoers out to their doom, while Audrey II can be heard laughing evilly outside.

The scene then changes to shots of what is implied to be hundreds of millions of Audrey IIs, each having grown hundreds of feet tall, destroying New York City, Los Angeles, Orlando, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago, Las Vegas; Washington, D.C., and other American cities. Eventually, we get shots of the plants destroying cities around the world, like London, Toronto, Sydney, Mexico City, Berlin, Glasgow, Paris, Dublin, Beijing, Tokyo, Wellington, Moscow, Jerusalem, Madrid, Stockholm, and Amsterdam. The voices of Seymour, Audrey, Mr. Mushnik, and Orin warn that no matter what the plants persuade you with to be fed, whether it be fame, fortune, love, material possessions or cheap thrills, you must not give in to temptation or fall for promises that sound too good to be true. At one point, Patrick Martin steps out into the city, stands in horror at what his actions have caused, and pays the price by getting eaten alive by an Audrey II. The scene soon makes frequent cuts between wide shots of enormous Audrey IIs demolishing cities and eating helpless civilians, newscasts reporting casualties in the millions, and militaries around the world being called in to battle the ever-growing Audrey IIs (the plants have now become too hardy to kill, and in wide shots, their vines and roots squash the army to death like giant monster feet). The cuts between the three scenes become more and more rapid until just before the final line, when the song ends with a shot of Earth combusting in a massive fireball, similar to the destruction of the Death Star in Star Wars, creating the Earth-less solar system from the beginning of the film.

After this, we cut to a scene featuring a '60s-style parody of Fox News, with an unnamed anchorman claiming that the Audrey IIs were made by President John F. Kennedy and "deep state operatives" to undermine the Republican Party. He is promptly eaten by an Audrey II, which then lunges at the camera, after which the end credits roll. Songs during the credits include covers of "Mean Green Mother from Outer Space" (sung by Mark Hamill as Audrey II) and "Suddenly, Seymour" (sung by Mj Rodriguez as Seymour and Ellen Greene as Audrey). As "Suddenly, Seymour" ends, a special closing logo for Warner Bros. Pictures is featured: Porky Pig (voiced by Bob Bergen) appears above the WB shield and utters his trademark "Th-th-th-that's all, folks!"

Trivia
Three of the songs are composed and performed differently in this film than in other adaptations. "Skid Row (Downtown)", while in the same key as most productions, is performed at a much slower tempo (before reaching normal speed during the final verse of the song). "Somewhere That's Green" is orchestrated in the key of F major, identical to "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid. Likewise, the final song, "Don't Feed the Plants", is arranged in the same key as the 2003 Broadway version of the song, albeit in a slower tempo, with a backup choir, and limiting the orchestration to a soft piano and somber-sounding bass violins, with bass drums and a baritone violin heard during the first half of the song. This gives its accompanying scene a more tragic feel, as it plays over shoppers barging into a supermarket to buy an Audrey II, a montage of innocent people being eaten by the plants, entire cities left in ruins from their rampage, and a discomforting shot of Earth exploding a la the Death Star as the rampaging Audrey IIs maniacally cackle.

Among the scenes cut from the film, which were included on home video releases, include the "Ya Never Know" and "Now (It's Just the Gas)" sequences, alternate takes of every song from the finished film, and an alternate sequence depicting Orin Scrivello's death. In this version, immediately after he witnesses Orin try to rape Audrey, an incensed Seymour goes to the back of the shop and grabs an axe before storming out to hunt down the dentist, leaving Audrey II to sing the final part of the "Feed Me" song ("If you want a rationale/It isn't very hard to see...") by itself; Seymour only sings, "You need blood and he's got more than enough," after the plant sings "I need blood and he's got more than enough." Once Seymour reaches Audrey's apartment, Audrey II yells, "So go get it!" through the shop's window, and Seymour breaks down the door during the final two notes of the song. This immediately leads to a confrontation between Seymour and Orin, with Seymour ordering Audrey to run and hide so as to not witness what's about to happen. Just as in the final cut, Orin pleads for his life, promising to pack up and leave Skid Row forever. While Seymour thinks about whether to take the dentist as his word, Orin calls Audrey and Seymour "the biggest pussies on Earth." In response, Seymour goes berserk, tying Orin to Audrey's bed with duct tape before hacking him into pieces (complete with wall shadows of Seymour doing the deed and outside shots of blood splattering on the window). After this, Seymour takes Orin's remains (including his severed, blood-soaked head) and carries them, by hand, to the florist shop, where he dumps them into the trap of a pleased Audrey II. However, Seymour forgets to clean the axe, and little red dots had dripped all over the shop's floor and the concrete outside as he carried Orin's chopped-up body to the shop.

Before Ben Platt was cast as Seymour, Justin Bieber, Daniel Boys, Zach Braff, Matthew Broderick, Michael Buble, Darren Criss, Joshua Dela Cruz, Adam Driver, Zac Efron, Taron Egerton, Chris Evans, Santino Fontana, Josh Gad, Andrew Garfield, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Topher Grace, Seth Green, Jonathan Groff, Jake Gyllenhaal, Bill Hader, Neil Patrick Harris, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Holland, Nicholas Hoult, both Jonas Brothers, Zachary Levi, Tobey Maguire, Jack McBrayer, Dylan Minnette, Bobby Moynihan, Edward Norton, Haley Joel Osment, Jim Parsons, Randy Rainbow, Andy Samberg, Dylan and Cole Sprouse, Justin Timberlake, Peyton Wich, Alex Wolff, and Finn Wolfhard were all considered for the part. Hader was eventually cast as a man who salts and eats flowers in Mr. Mushnik's shop (the character of which was based on Dick Miller's role in the original Roger Corman film), and Samberg was cast as Bernstein, an NBC executive who tries to give Seymour his own show during "The Meek Shall Inherit". Harris was cast as the first person to take a liking to Seymour's plant. Groff had previously played Seymour in the 2019 off-Broadway production, while Gyllenhaal played Seymour in an Encores! production of Little Shop in 2015. The man who sings, "Where the food is slop", while eating a disgusting-looking chicken dinner, during "Skid Row (Downtown)", is played by Hunter Foster, who played Seymour in the 2003 Broadway production. Jonathan Haze, who originated Seymour in the 1960 Roger Corman film, briefly appears as a man from uptown, and Stuart Zagnit, who played Seymour in the original off-Broadway production when it closed in 1987, cameos as a newspaper salesman (William Brand, who understudied on Seymour in the original West End production, played the role in the U.K. release of the film).

Amy Adams, Adele, Christina Aguilera, Jillian Banks, Kristen Bell, Jodi Benson, Emily Blunt, Abigail Breslin, Mariah Carey, Kristin Chenoweth, Miley Cyrus, Celine Dion, Kirsten Dunst, Jenny Elfman, Dakota and Elle Fanning, Anna Faris, Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez, Ellie Goulding, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Faith Hill, Kate Hudson, Bonnie Hunt, Brie Larson, Avril Lavigne, Madonna, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Idina Menzel, Debra Messing, Kylie Minogue, Mandy Moore, Chloë Grace Moretz, Sarah Jessica Parker, Katy Perry, Pink, Julia Roberts, Kristen Schaal, Sarah Silverman, Britney Spears, Emma Stone, Taylor Swift, Charlize Theron, Uma Thurman, Jennifer Tilly, Ashley Tisdale, Meghan Trainor, Kristen Wiig, Rebel Wilson, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead auditioned for Audrey before Dove Cameron won the role. While Ellen Greene didn't reprise Audrey from the original off-Broadway adaptation of the play and its subsequent 1986 film version, she has a supporting role as Ms. Geffen, Audrey's neighbor and witness to Seymour's murder of Orin Scrivello (Greene is also credited as a creative consultant), while Hunt portrays a supermarket clerk during "Don't Feed the Plants", trying in vain to quell the mob of customers fighting over Audrey II's. Jackie Joseph, who portrayed Audrey in the Roger Corman film, cameos as an uptown woman, while Marsha Waterbury and Kerry Butler (the off-Broadway understudy Audrey and Broadway Audrey, respectively) make appearances as supermarket shoppers.

Actors in contention for the part of Mr. Mushnik include Jason Alexander, Dan Aykroyd, Alec Baldwin, Ed Begley Jr., Benjamin Bratt, Clancy Brown, James Caan, Blake Clark, Stephen Colbert, Chris Cooper, Bryan Cranston, Tim Curry, Timothy Dalton, Robert De Niro, Johnny Depp, Danny DeVito, Brad Dourif, Robert Downey Jr., Robert Englund, Colin Farrell, Will Ferrell, Harvey Fierstein, Ralph Fiennes, Harrison Ford, Brendan Fraser, Brad Garrett, Jeff Goldblum, John Goodman, Kelsey Grammer, Woody Harrelson, Ed Harris, Dustin Hoffman, Jeremy Irons, Jason Isaacs, Tommy Lee Jones, Michael Keaton, Richard Kind, David Koechner, Nathan Lane, Jon Lovitz, James Marsters, Ewan McGregor, Michael McKean, Ian McShane, Tamuera Morrison, Bill Murray, Mike Myers, Nick Nolte, Gary Oldman, Al Pacino, Joe Pantoliano, Chris Parnell, Joe Pesci, Joaquin Phoenix, David Hyde Pierce, John C. Reilly, Keanu Reeves, William Shatner, Wallace Shawn, Brent Spiner, Sylvester Stallone, Jon Stewart, Patrick Stewart, Mark Strong, Jeffrey Tambor, Patrick Warburton, Lee Wilkof, and Bruce Willis. The role eventually went to J.K. Simmons. Murray originally played Arthur Denton in the 1986 film. Wilkof, who originated Seymour off-Broadway, makes a cameo as a garbage collector (Barry James, the original West End Seymour, played the character in the U.K. release). Kind cameos as a police chief who talks to Audrey after Orin's death.

Jack Black, Adrien Brody, Steve Buscemi, Steve Carell, Jim Carrey, David Cross, Tom Cruise, Paul Dano, Colin Farrell, Will Ferrell, Dave Foley, Will Forte, Topher Grace, Neil Patrick Harris, Sean Hayes, Nicholas Hoult, Jason Lee, John Malkovich, Howie Mandel, Seth Meyers, Jim Parsons, Pedro Pascal, John C. Reilly, Ryan Reynolds, Mark Ruffalo, Adam Scott, Seann William Scott, Jason Segel, Jerry Seinfeld, David Spade, Ben Stiller, Jason Sudeikis, and Steve Zahn all auditioned for Orin Scrivello before the role went to Matthew Morrison. Black, who also auditioned to voice Audrey II, appeared as radio DJ Wink Wilkinson. Reynolds played the masochistic dental patient Arthur Denton. Douglas Sills, who played Orin on Broadway, appears as a shopper during the "Don't Feed the Plants" sequence.

For Audrey II, the director wanted an actor who could at least act threatening enough if not able to sing. Lori Alan, Jeff Bennett, Jack Black, Brandon Boyd, Wayne Brady, Clancy Brown, Cedric the Entertainer, Sacha Baron Cohen, Common, Eddie Cooper, Lilli Cooper, Cavin Cornwall, Terry Crews, Jim Cummings, Elliot Dash, Keith David, Daveed Diggs, Taye Diggs, Snoop Dogg, Danny Elfman, Donald Faison, Harvey Fierstein, Kelsey Grammer, Cee Lo Green, David Alan Grier, Neil Patrick Harris, Kevin Hart, Steve Harvey, James Monroe Iglehart, Jason Isaacs, Dwayne Johnson, Tom Kenny, Keegan-Michael Key, Martin Lawrence, Seth MacFarlane, John Malkovich, Ian McShane, Mr. T, Eddie Murphy, Gary Oldman, Ozzy Osborne, Ken Page, Jordan Peele, Billy Porter, Randy Rainbow, Amber Reilly, Ving Rhames, Kevin Michael Richardson, Chris Rock, Axl Rose, J.K. Simmons, Sam Smith, Wanda Sykes, Kenan Thompson, Tony Todd, Alan Tudyk, Sigourney Weaver, and Stevie Wonder all auditioned for the part. Mark Hamill eventually signed on to voice the plant, being both a talented villain voice actor and a decent singer. Simmons was cast as Mr. Mushnik, while Reilly voiced Audrey II in a 2019 production at the Pasadena Playhouse. Eddie Cooper, Ken Page, and Billy Porter have all also played Audrey II in past Little Shop productions. Kenan Thompson cameoed during the "Skid Row (Downtown)" number, as a scruffy-looking hobo. Tudyk makes a vocal cameo as an anchorman on the radio in Mr. Mushnik's shop. To promote the film, Hamill voiced Audrey II for a week of performances during the off-Broadway revival production of Little Shop of Horrors, which opened at the Westside Theatre in 2019.

Before Hamill was cast as Audrey II, the combined voices of the puppeteers were considered (giving the plant a deliberately inconsistent sound). Eventually, the voice of lead puppeteer Martin P. Robinson was used during filming, whenever Audrey II had spoken dialogue, and would have been used in the final cut if no suitable voice actor had been found. Robinson's Audrey II voice, which sounds like a gruffer-sounding Telly Monster, was used in promotional material for the film, including an interview with the character.

Mark Hamill was initially hesitant to voice Audrey II, feeling that he could not possibly match up to Levi Stubbs' portrayal of the character in the 1986 film. To convince Hamill that he was right for the part, director Greg Berlanti had the Audrey II puppet lip-synch to audio of Hamill as the Joker from Batman: The Animated Series and other projects. Hamill enjoyed the footage so much that he agreed to voice the plant for the film.

Actresses/puppeteers Louise Gold, Leslie Carrara-Rudolph and Colleen Smith make onscreen cameos: Gold plays an old lady begging for money, Carrara-Rudolph appears as a dental patient, and Smith as the first shopper to barge into the supermarket to buy an Audrey II. All three also worked as Audrey II puppeteers, with Gold going uncredited.

Roger Corman, who directed the original Little Shop of Horrors film in 1960, makes an appearance as a businessman holding a contract near the end of "The Meek Shall Inherit" number. Jonathan Haze and Jackie Joseph, who played Seymour and Audrey in said film, make cameos as uptown people who appear during the "Skid Row (Downtown)" number.

The manner in which Audrey II is designed, operated and voiced contains shout-outs to the original Roger Corman film, the stage version, and the 1986 musical film. Audrey II's design combines elements of the 1982 off-Broadway and 2003 Broadway puppet designs, both created by Martin P. Robinson, who also performed the plant in those shows and this film. From the scene where we're introduced to the plant to the moment in "Feed Me" when it asks Seymour if he believes his newfound success is a coincidence, Audrey II is operated as though it were a hinged prop, just like in the original Roger Corman film. It's only when Seymour dismisses the plant as an inanimate object, and it aggressively proves otherwise, that Audrey II is revealed to be an intricate puppet, similar to the 1986 film, but operated similarly to Marty Robinson's original stage puppets. When the plant begins to talk and demand to be fed, voice actor Mark Hamill initially does his best impression of Charles B. Griffith's voice for Audrey Jr. from the original Roger Corman film. When it starts singing and promising Seymour lots of riches, Hamill changes to a voice closer to his own (that deepens as the plant continues growing). Throughout the film, Hamill's voice combines the Audrey Jr. impression, his iconic Joker voice, an emulation of Levi Stubbs' voice for Audrey II, and other inspirations like Wolfman Jack, Dr. John, and Tom Waits; then his Mr. Salacia voice (sans accent) when the plant becomes too big for the shop, before eventually using his Megatronus voice (complete with reverb effects) when it's at its largest size.

Ten Audrey IIs, all of varying sizes, were created for the film by puppet builders and technicians from Jim Henson's Creature Shop, based on original stage puppet designs by Martin P. Robinson, who supervised the puppet design and fabrication process for this film.
 * The first, and smallest, plant is essentially an immobile prop, standing as tall as a teacup. This plant can be picked up and carried around with ease, and basically functions as an actual small plant.
 * The second plant, built in the same size as the first plant, is operated when on a table or flat surface by simply opening and closing its mouth on a hinge; this is the only form of movement on Audrey II so far, not even being able to talk yet. This version of Audrey II was seen during "Grow for Me", controlled by only one puppeteer; in this case, Martin P. Robinson.
 * The third plant is also a prop, as tall as a fully grown flower, with its trap moved by controlling a tiny joystick hidden inside its pot; this Audrey II is also built with a tongue that is operated by radio control (something that all subsequent Audrey II puppets in this film will include), and two small pairs of vines at the front and back of the plant. This plant is seen during the WSKID radio interview scene, operated in said scene by Anthony Asbury, who moves the mouth, and a second puppeteer controlling the tongue.
 * The fourth plant, seen at the start of the "Feed Me" scene, is another prop, built the size of a rocking chair, this time using a modified car pedal to control its trap. Again, two people are needed to move this version of Audrey II; one operating the mouth (though the mouth movement is in no way synced to Mark Hamill's performance) and one controlling the tongue. Starting with this puppet, Audrey II is now able to talk and sing. The mouth movement on this Audrey II is random and not at all in sync with its voice; oftentimes, whole lines of dialogue are spoken while the plant's mouth remains opened or closed.
 * The fifth plant, first seen when it shouts, "Does this look inanimate to you, punk?!" during "Feed Me", is the first puppet of Audrey II seen in the film, built the same size as plant #4; to control it, Karen Prell sits inside the plant's pot, where she inserts her whole upper body into Audrey II's head and (much more precisely) lip-syncs the puppet's flexible mouth (which can pull off Kermit the Frog-esque mouth scrunches) with her right hand, while 11 other puppeteers control its vines, leaves, tendrils, and tongue with rods and RC control units. Starting with this puppet, Audrey II's head can now rotate a full 360 degrees; it can stretch out its head and neck to get closer to someone, and pull itself back in; it can extend, retract, and flick its tongue; its vines are able to pick up objects lift a person off the ground; and its mouth has a hidden hole in the back, so anything the plant eats can "disappear" in the plant. Also, Audrey II now gains the ability to push its pot closer to wherever it wants to be (initially with much struggle), as demonstrated when Seymour leaves a tied-up sack filled with the dismembered, blood-soaked body of Orin Scrivello at the doorstep of Mr. Mushnik's florist shop before fleeing in terror, and the annoyed Audrey II has to reach the sack, untie it, push itself back to the spot where it originally was, grab Orin's remains from the sack, and eat them all by itself.
 * The sixth plant, used during "Suppertime", is operated by 40 puppeteers; David Rudman, who sits on its pot in a sitting position, and inserts his whole body into its head, putting his hands close together and moving them simultaneously to move the mouth, and the other performers controlling its other parts, including its leaves, which can now work like human hands. This version of Audrey II stands as tall as a doorway and is the first to be capable of eating a person whole.
 * The seventh plant is seen after "The Meek Shall Inherit". This Audrey II, which now barely fits inside the shop set, is performed by 80 puppeteers; Joey Mazzarino, who stands on top of the pot and leans forward inside the plant costume, controlling its head and mouth by inserting his arms into holes inside the puppet, and pulling and pushing his arms together; and the rest controlling its vines, which can now come together to form humanlike hands (operated via cable controls connected to the puppeteers' fingers), protract to unlimited distances, and break through barriers (i.e. brick walls); leaves, which are now controlled by the arms of puppeteers who carefully hide behind the plant; tongue, and tendrils, all of which are still radio-controlled. Audrey II's "forehead" can also contort to give off a "death glare" expression, the corners of the plant's mouth are now mechanized so it can smile or frown on camera, as are its "lips", allowing it to bare its teeth (both mechanisms are moved by up to three operators), the plant's upper lip can now jerk upwards when it has to sniff, and its voice is now powerful enough to cause a brief earthquake whenever it yells very loudly. It's also at this stage where Audrey II reveals its hypnotic powers, carried over (and levelled up) from the original Roger Corman film; it uses them on Audrey, through telepathic communication, to lure her into the shop.
 * The eighth plant, from most of the "Suppertime" reprise, is the biggest prop plant, controlled by pulling a large lever to move the jaw; it was built the same size as plant #7, with three performers needed to control it; one moving the trap, one operating the tongue, and one moving a single vine with which to gesture to Audrey. Like the fourth plant, the mouth movement on Audrey II does not sync with the dialogue being spoken, with the plant's lines being spoken while the mouth is kept open or closed.
 * The ninth plant comes during the climax, now requiring a team of 150 puppeteers. Besides being both bulletproof and fireproof, the plant can now sprout a seemingly unlimited number of smaller, equally sentient pods (each with their own radio-controlled, protractible/retractable tongue, and movable vines and tendrils) and has roots strong enough to destroy its pot from inside, and which allow the plant to move on its own accord (with a sense of weight and menace behind its movement similar to that of a T-rex), and break out of Mr. Mushnik's florist shop with ease, in pursuit of its prey. The small Audrey II buds themselves have abilities of their own: they can break through barriers (i.e. glass windows) with enough force, their teeth are sharp and powerful enough to bite off a body part, their vines and tendrils are able to choke a person to death, and they can protract to seemingly unlimited distances (and retract again). The head of this Audrey II is now big enough for a whole human to stretch and move around inside; puppeteer Kevin Clash moves his arms and whole body to control the mouth. The head is attached to a sturdy pulley system connected from the top of the puppet to a crane operated high above the roof, which can be maneuvered should the plant be required to lower or raise its head. The head and neck of the plant are lifted off the ground by a giant counterweight system set up behind the plant, with three puppeteers pressing down on weight bars to move the plant up and down. The additional performers control its vines, "hands", leaves, tendrils, roots, and tongue; the tongues, vines, and tendrils of its offspring, or just to support the puppet's massive weight. This Audrey II puppet was so tall that a large hole had to be cut in the roof of the Warner Bros. soundstage so the puppet could fit and move around, and so difficult to manipulate that in order for the puppet to move more smoothly on camera, the framerate for the scene was slowed to 14 frames per second, forcing Ben Platt to act onscreen in slow-motion, which was sped up to 24 frames per second in post-production.
 * The tenth, and largest, plant was built for the "Don't Feed the Plants" finale number; three puppets of this plant were used together in each shot to illustrate the concept of a large army of Audrey II plants eating people taking over the world. Each plant receives considerable upgrades in their abilities: their tongues now have limitless protraction and can act like a grappling hook when grabbing and eating people; they can break through barriers using only their heads; they can grow an unlimited number of vines; their leaves can now grab people and pull them into the plants' mouths; and their roots are now strong enough to flatten an army tank. In order to fully operate the massive plants, more than 2,300 puppeteers (including people from the Creature Shop's animatronics and fabrication departments), all led by Martin P. Robinson, were needed altogether. When fully hoisted, each plant stood at 140 feet, taller than the Warner Bros. water tower. The plants were so tall that the entire sequence was filmed outdoors, and so heavy that the cranes and counterweight systems required to move the puppets' heads, which are now so big that five people have to move the mouth in sync with each other from inside, had to be reinforced so they wouldn't topple over. These plants were operated in several different ways; its lips were controlled by five puppeteers working mechanical hand controls, or "waldos"; its roots were played by puppeteers in full specialized suits hooked up to harnesses inside the puppet, who crawled, walked on their haunches, or moved around on large dollies to manually move the whole plant; its tongue was controlled by two performers moving around giant levers, one moving the tongue around and the other moving the tip of the tongue up and down; and its vines, petals and tendrils were controlled by various puppeteers with rods, live arms, radio-control units, cable controls, robotic arms worn on the puppeteers' arms, modified console controllers, and modified bicycle hand brakes; on-screen operators were digitally removed in post-production. For scenes where the vines of the plants are shown grabbing people and dragging them away, additional performers used rods, RC controls and robotic arms to move them from just off-camera. For these puppets to move smoothly, the framerate was dropped to 10 frames per second, which, again, was later sped up to 24 frames per second.

Though practical effects were mostly used for the film, using the plant puppetry, red paint splattering all over the dentist's office for blood, paint-stained pieces of an Orin dummy when he is fed to the plant, a Mushnik dummy and fake blood for the end of the "Suppertime" number when he gets his head bitten off, and a prop gun when Seymour tries to kill himself, there were some effects that involved CGI. These included digital editing to erase on-screen puppeteers and rods, CGI fire from the flamethrower (so the puppet would not suffer any real damage), and the end shot of Earth blowing up.
