... the film is a farce about a florist's assistant who cultivates a plant that feeds on human blood. ... the film employs an original style of humor, combining dark comedy with farce[8] and incorporating Jewish humor and elements of spoof.[9] The Little Shop of Horrors was shot on a budget of $28,000 (equivalent to $298,000 in 2024). Interiors were shot in two days, by utilizing sets that had been left standing from A Bucket of Blood.
...
The film's critical reception was largely favorable. On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes it has an approval rating of 92% based on reviews from 12 critics.[41] Variety wrote, "The acting is pleasantly preposterous. [...] Horticulturalists and vegetarians will love it."[42]

Jack Nicholson, recounting the reaction to a screening of the film, states that the audience "laughed so hard I could barely hear the dialogue. I didn't quite register it right. It was as if I had forgotten it was a comedy since the shoot. I got all embarrassed because I'd never really had such a positive response before."[6]

In his book Comedy-Horror Films: A Chronological History, 1914-2008, Bruce G. Hallenbeck called the film "one of Corman's gems, an idea that was born on 'a night out on the town' that's every bit as looney as it sounds." He cited the hilarious performances delivered by the ensemble cast and Corman's strong results while working under the self-imposed pressures of a cheap budget and a fast shooting schedule.

electronic / dark ambient, 2013. @Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world recommended this about a month ago, and I finally got around to listening to it. The whole album is solid, and this is my fave song off it.

This is a lightly edited cross-post from !gothindustrial@lemmy.world

Wave-Gotik-Treffen is “one of the largest events of the gothic, cybergoth, steampunk, and rivethead subcultures worldwide”. It was like two months ago in Germany. Fashion is an important component (besides music and other cultural events).

• a video of moments at WGT 2025
• a photostream from the Victorian Picnic at WGT which started as “an opportunity for attendees to dress in elaborate Victorian-era-inspired clothing. Participants would gather to socialize, showcase their outfits, and enjoy a leisurely afternoon reminiscent of the Victorian era.” Over the years, people started wearing more goth-, fantasy-, and steampunk-inspired outfits.

Noise, 2013

Merzbow ... is a Japanese noise project started in 1979 by Masami Akita,[1][2] best known for a style of harsh noise music. ... The name Merzbow comes from the German dada artist Kurt Schwitters' artwork Merzbau, in which Schwitters transformed the interior of his house using found objects. The name was chosen to reflect Akita's dada influence and junk art aesthetic. In addition to this, Akita has cited a wide range of musical influences from progressive rock, heavy metal, free jazz, and early electronic music[4] to non-musical influences like dadaism, surrealism and fetish culture.
