Surely I’m not the only person who revisited Little Shop of Horrors after watching HBO’s Lanterns, inspired by Hal Jordan’s pugnacious plant, Earl, to give the 1986 film another look. Great timing, as the movie about homicidal vegetation just got a new 4K restoration, Andrew Buss reports in his oral history of the musical. If, like me, you hadn’t watched the onscreen adaptation of the play since its debut nearly 40 years ago, this is the right moment to give it a fresh spin, especially after reading all of Andrew’s behind-the-scenes intel. Also for your pleasure as you await tonight’s trick-or-treaters: Wren Woodson and Mabel Kabani’s dive into the scary world of independent journalism, a witchy and wild true crime yarn rooted in online dating, the story behind new Hulu series The Pet Cemetery Murders, and my own—and highly opinionated—recommendations of what to watch this Halloween weekend. |
