Alright, let’s yak about them plant horror movies, the ones that make your skin crawl and your toes curl. I ain’t no fancy movie critic, mind you, just a plain ol’ body who likes a good scare, and them creepy plant movies, well, they do the trick.
First off, you gotta talk about Little Shop of Horrors. This one’s about a goofy fella working in a flower shop, and he finds this weird plant. Thing grows bigger and bigger, and guess what? It likes to eat! Not no bugs or dirt, mind you, it wants people. Yep, human flesh! It’s a real hoot, but also kinda makes you think twice about waterin’ your houseplants. They got this plant, Audrey II, she’s like a big ol’ Venus flytrap, but way meaner. Them Venus flytraps, they look like they got lots of mouths in real life, but Audrey II, she’s got a big ol’ mouth and a mean temper to match.
Then there’s this other one, The Thing from Another World. Now, this ain’t your regular kinda monster movie. It’s about a plant… but from outer space! Can you believe it? A plant from another world! It ain’t pretty, let me tell ya. It’s all slimy and mean-lookin’, and it causes all sorts of trouble. They say this movie even gave ideas to another movie called just “The Thing”, which is even scarier, but that one’s not about plants so much. This alien plant, it’s somethin’ else, real creepy crawly.
- And let me tell you, there’s a whole bunch of these movies out there.
- Some are funny, like Little Shop, but others… well, they give you the shivers.
- They make you look at your garden a whole new way, that’s for sure.
Another one they talk about is Day of the Triffids. This one’s got these alien plants too, but they land on Earth and start walkin’ around and stingin’ folks. Can you imagine? Plants walkin’ and stingin’! It’s enough to make you wanna stay indoors forever. And if that ain’t enough, there’s Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Now, this one’s a bit different, ‘cause it ain’t exactly the plants doin’ the snatchin’. It’s these alien pods that grow plants, and they replace people with copies… creepy, right? Makes you wonder if your neighbor’s really your neighbor, or just some pod person grown from a plant!
Oh, and then there’s this crazy movie called Troll 2. Don’t let the name fool ya, it ain’t got nothin’ to do with the first Troll movie. And it’s kinda about plants… in a weird way. These folks go on vacation, and they end up in this town where the people are… well, they’re plant people! They try to feed these tourists green goo and turn ‘em into plants. It’s a wild ride, that one.
And if you want something really out there, try Matango. It’s a Japanese movie, real spooky. People eat these weird mushrooms and then… they turn into mushrooms themselves! Can you imagine? One minute you’re eatin’ a mushroom, the next minute you’re one! It’s enough to make you swear off mushrooms for good.
So, there you have it. A whole bunch of plant horror movies to keep you up at night. Some are about alien plants, some are about regular plants gone bad, and some are just plain weird. But they all got one thing in common: they make you think twice about what’s growin’ in your backyard. And let me tell ya, after watchin’ these movies, you might just start talkin’ to your plants… just to make sure they ain’t plottin’ somethin’!
So, next time you’re lookin’ for a good scare, give one of these plant horror movies a try. Just don’t blame me if you start lookin’ at your houseplants a little differently. And remember, just because it’s green and leafy don’t mean it ain’t dangerous! You never know what kind of creepy crawly things are lurkin’ in the garden, waitin’ for their chance to… well, you seen the movies, you know what they do!
