The director's original ending of 'Little Shop of Horrors'

The original version of the Frank Oz movie retained the dark ending of the original movie and the stage play. Audiences hated it, so they rewrote and re-shot the ending. The new Blu-Ray presents their original ending.

"When the film screened for test audiences before it was released, screen cards came back with extremely negative feedback about the dark ending. Menken recalled his feeling after seeing the show with producer David Geffen in San Jose, Calif. 'I remember running over to David, saying, ‘It’s fantastic!’ and David just kind of looking at me,' says Menken. 'And then apparently the cards showed up and it was like, ‘Oh my god.’'"
