When I was in high school, the big midnight-show movie was “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” a poorly made low-budget horror-movie spoof, which also happened to be a musical, and warranted (sometimes unwelcome) audience participation. By the mid-1980s, the “Rocky Horror” fad was beginning to fade when Frank Oz (of Muppet fame) churned out a well-made, larger-budget horror-movie spoof, which also happened to be a musical. I was certain “Little Shop of Horrors” would be the next big midnight-show classic.
