10 Apocalypse Horrors That Broke All The Rules

This goofy little number has been fascinating audiences since 1960, when it first appeared as a low-budget black comedy. Fast forward a few decades and it became a successful off-Broadway musical and film - which is where we come in.

The film follows flower-shop employee Seymour and his sentient, blood-thirsty plant Audrey II. At first Seymour doesn’t know just how dangerous his plant is, but as it grows larger and demands more blood than he can feed it from himself Seymour turns to murderous means.

Audrey keeps getting bigger, stronger, and consuming people, and customers are enthralled by the plant. Seymour meets with an executive who offers to breed saplings from Audrey and sell them internationally, putting these murderous plants all across the globe.

For most of the film Audrey isn’t big enough to cause an apocalypse (despite that being what it wants), even the ending that went to theatres would hint that everything works out ok. Here, though, we’re going to look at the cut ending.

The original ending saw Audrey kill Seymour and little Audrey plants be sold across the globe, eventually uniting when strong enough to take over the planet. It really shouldn’t work to have a musical horror movie about a flesh-hungry house plant planning world-domination, but as we sing along to the finale song ‘Don’t Feed The Plants’ we know deep down it works just perfectly.

We have seen a movie inside a movie before. But not often with zombies. So what if I told you this was a movie inside a movie movie with zombies? You would rightfully be impressed.
