The Most Charismatic Man-Eating Plant in the Galaxy is Back This Halloween as 'Little Shop of Horrors' Returns to the Big Screen Two Days Only, October 29 and 31

Special Cinema Event to Feature an Exclusive Interview With Director Frank Oz, Plus the Film's Original Ending, Never Before Seen in Theaters

For the first time ever, the cult-hit musical "Little Shop of Horrors" will be presented in movie theaters nationwide with its original, spectacular ending during a special two-day-only cinema event on October 29 and 31.

In addition to the elaborate, 23-minute finale, which has been digitally restored to the acclaimed 1986 musical, this special theatrical presentation of "Little Shop of Horrors," written by the Oscar^®-winning team of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, will also include a brand-new, exclusive interview with the film's visionary director Frank Oz.

Fathom Events and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will present "Little Shop of Horrors" on Sunday, October 29, and Tuesday, October 31, at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. local time each day.

Tickets for "Little Shop of Horrors" can be purchased online by visiting www.FathomEvents.com or at participating theater box offices. Moviegoers throughout the U.S. will be able to enjoy this event in nearly 500 select movie theaters through Fathom's Digital Broadcast Network (DBN). For a complete list of theater locations visit the Fathom Events website (theaters and participants are subject to change).

Originally released in December 1986 and based on the off-Broadway musical adaptation of Roger Corman's low-budget 1960 horror comedy, "Little Shop of Horrors" stars Rick Moranis as Seymour Krelborn, a loveable loser whose fortunes change when he discovers a mysterious plant he calls "Audrey II" after the demure love of his life, Audrey (Ellen Greene). But as Audrey II (Levi Stubbs) grows, Seymour discovers the plant has a taste for blood, preferably human … and a lust for power.

"Little Shop of Horrors" was nominated for two Academy Awards^®, including the high-energy "Mean Green Mother From Outer Space," which Ashman and Menken wrote specifically for the film. "Little Shop of Horrors" received widespread acclaim from critics upon its initial release, and became a perennial best-seller on home-entertainment formats. Its loyal following has grown over the years, and while the film's original ending has been released on DVD and Blu-ray^™, this special presentation by Fathom Events and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment marks the first time it has been shown to a large-scale audience in cinemas.

"Little Shop of Horrors" combines a stunning visual flair with a remarkable score by Ashman and Menken, who would go on to create such classic movie musicals as The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin. The iconic supporting cast includes Steve Martin, Vincent Gardenia, James Belushi and Bill Murray, along with a unique trio of Tichina Arnold, Michelle Weeks and Tisha Campbell as "Greek chorus" Crystal, Ronette and Chiffon.

"This special presentation of ‘Little Shop of Horrors' will delight longtime fans and offer them a new sense of discovery with an ending that the studio and Frank Oz have allowed us to present in movie theaters for the very first time," Tom Lucas, Fathom Events VP of Studio Relations, said. "For fans of movies and musicals, this is truly a not-to-be-missed cinematic event."
