Based on Roger Corman’s 1960 movie who then starred an unknown fellow by the name of Jack Nicholson, Little Shop Of Horrors returns to the stage for a few short performances at New York’s City Center for the Encores! Off-Center presentation. What could make this any better? Ellen Greene, who first performed the role of Audrey on the England stage in 1982, then on the big screen alongside Rick Moranis in 1986, has decided to reprise her role one more time for this short stint of the wacky tale of the mean green mother from outer space who’s hell bent on dominating and consuming the human race. As stated, this is a short stint at the City Center, and only two performances remain- One being this afternoon and the other this evening (July 2). Why are you still here? Go snatch whatever tickets are available for fucks sake!

You’re still here? Ok let’s talk about the perfection Ellen Greene still holds as the mousy belle of skid row 33 years after first bursting onto the stage. According to the Huffington Post, Judy Garland had nothing on Miss Greene when it came time for the final bow of their first performance last night as the crowd roared with love and was unlike anything heard before in a theater. Even Jake Gyllenhaal, who plays the role as skid row’s frumpy botanist Seymour, chose to give the stage up to Greene for a final solo bow. That’s the kind of power Ellen Greene has over this role. Her voice is still as beautiful as it was all those years ago and it seems like time has stood still for the actress as she must have discovered the fountain of youth somewhere. Ellen! Tell us ladies your beauty secrets please!

The show is narrated by back-up-singer-threesome Chiffon (Tracy Nicole Chapman), Crystal (Marva Hicks) and Ronnette (Ramona Keller). The role of Orin, Audrey’s sadistic dentist boyfriend is Saturday Night Live‘s Taran Killam. Mr. Mushnik is played by Joe Grifasi, and an absolutely adorable Anwar Kareem as a young Audrey 2 with Eddie Cooper taking on the mature monster plant role.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
