All ages will enjoy the classic tale of Seymour Krelbourn, a poor young man working at a run-down flower shop until he happens upon an alien plant after a total eclipse of the sun. After bringing the plant to the store, he finds fame, fortune and love. The only problem is that the plant feeds on human blood. Seymour and the plant make a deal that if the plant continues to bring Seymour positive attention he will, in turn, continue to feed the plant human bodies. Eventually, the evil plant eats Seymour and his close friends and acquaintances.
