The 1986 version is one of my favorite movies, and probably one of the last truly great movie musicals. The 1960 original is pretty good, too. They’re both well-done and very cynical dark comedies where neither the comedy or the darker horror elements threaten to overpower each other (except with the original movie’s abrupt horror movie ending). It’s a difficult thing to pull off well, and I don’t see that happening. They should just let this one be.

I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing a director’s cut of the 1986 movie though (it was supposed to be much darker, with a completely different and much more appropriate ending).

[...] Qualcuno ha deciso che ogni generazione deve avere la sua versione de La Piccola Bottega degli Orrori. La mia generazione ha quella di Frank Oz con Rick Moranis, Steve Martin ed Ellen Greene. Pare che sia il caso di girarne un’altra, è proprio proprio necessario. (Screen Rant) [...]

okay people need to stop complaining about remakes, i mean they make money and as long as they are hollywood will keep remaking films, besides its not like they get rid of the original film, i mean even if the remake turns out bad then we still have the original to watch

for example: i hate the godzilla remake, but as long as i still have the original then there is nothing to whine about

HEY! Listen i can’t take this, they need to stop making remakes and start being original-plus what they can do is get David Geffen to bring in the color version of the original ending for the dvd, and thats my best bet for a great remake. If you have seen the original ending, its in black and white, but omg its great. To those who saw the show, you’ll love the original ending, its on Youtube, check it out

Wrong Turn 2 was basically the cheaper version of The Hills Have Eyes 2, seeing how as they had the same Latina in each movie.

I don’t think they will be able to top the 1986 remake. Why…… Because Im a Mean Green Motha From Outerspace……..that’s why. J/K. Guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Yeah, the first ‘remake’ had a lot of singing and was quite daft and fun.

Oooh, trivia. In the 1986 one it was Bill Murray who played the dentist’s patient who loved having his teeth fixed. But before that it was Jack Nicholson. Think that might have been his first role (very minor).

Have seen the original, was in black and white. Don’t remember much from it though.

Oh, and there was a Wrong Turn 2. About some kids doing a reality tv survival show and horror ensues. Not a stunner.

The 1986 version was not exactly a remake per se — it was a screen adaptation of the Off-Broadway musical “Little Shop of Horrors,” which did a takeoff on the original film and 1950s horror film, girl groups, and other cultural artifacts with amazing puppeteering and voice work for the alien plant Audrey II. I saw the show in a little theater on Fourth Avenue in New York, I think that it was the WPA Theater or a former Yiddish theater, with friends. It was great. The film version with Rick Moranis, Steve Martin, etc. was good but not as good, in my opinion.

The 1986 remake was a camp classic. I haven’t seen the original, yet. Still, this is one remake I’m actually looking forward to.
