THE LITTLE SHOP OF NORRORS
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the greenhouse ... along comes The Little Shop Of Horrors, with Audrey H. I, people eating plant. Director Frank Ox (of the Muppets fame) says cheerfully, "By the time we are finished, the entire cast is eaten. I know a lot of directors will envy that."
You probably would love Audrey II, if you could see her, but, until the movie is released, she's been kept under wraps. "All I can say is she sings, she dances, she dials the phone, and she eats people," says Lyle Conway, her designer. Those who have seen her say she starts out small and sexy, and, fed human beings, grows to truly huge proportions.
Audrey II first proved her popularity in the original *Little Shop*, a low budget Roger Corman film made 25 years ago. "We spent $40,000 on ours," says Corman neatly. "This one is $20 million." Four years ago, *Little Shop of Horrors* was resurrected as an off-broadway musical comedy. Its success encouraged Warner Bros. to reprise it on film.
It's not a big, splashy Hollywood musical," says Henson "The music is an integral part of the story and moves the plot forward. We haven't opened up the plot so much as we've enriched it."
The action takes place in Mushnick's Flower Shop in a rundown part of town. Seymour (Rick Moranis), a nerdy floral assistant, buys a strange little plant and names it for his girlfriend Audrey
Having no ave of the Hollywood star system, the plant snacks happily on cast members Gutenberg, Bill Murray, Paul Dooley, Vincent Gardena, et al—though not necessary in that order.

O'Toole in Harold Ramis' (Ghostbusters) new film Club Paradise.
Club Paradise is a comic mixture of romance, revolution and seedy resorts, written by Ramis. "It also includes a smarry Englishman, which I play," says Simon jones (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Globe, Bridehead Revised) "It's a
small but nasty part, and I liked playing it especially in Jamaica.
"Robin Williams plays the good guy He's a fireman from Chicago who wisely decides he's had cold and cold and snow and fighting fires. He comes to Par adise, where he not so wisely decides to invest in a rudnow resort hotel with Jimmy Gill, who is having trouble with the local corrupt politicians. Along the way, Robin manages to attract the cook and first mate of my yacht to his enterprise Since the mate is Twiggy, you can understand my deep resentment."
There's Peter O Tooke's sun drenched Governor General, who hates to have his cushy life disturbed. And there's his girlfriend, a travel writer who wants to report on world events and sees her destiny in an island revolution.

Sent back with a contingent of tough space matines led by Michael (The Terminator) Biehn, Ripley finds hordes of the toothy terrors and faces down their termite like Queen in a rainé that could make Rocky IV look like a pattycake contest.
