Don't forget "Shriek of the Mutilated".

Hey, boy.

Hey, boy.

I think at some point I'm going to have quoted the entirety of the Little Shop article from Cinefex #30 here— it's packed with terrific information. Apparently, Oz initially envisioned a soft, 'puppety' look for the plant; it was FX supervisor Lyle Conway who pushed for realism.

According to the Cinfex article, FX lead Lyle Conway proposed undercranking but Oz was reluctant to try it.
