When we think of horror movies set in the past, too\u00a0often\u00a0we\u00a0think of gothic tales of\u00a0vampires and ghosts. But there is\u00a0so much more out\u00a0there\u00a0than creepy costume dramas. Consider the upcoming Overlord<\/a><\/em>, an action-packed and\u00a0wonderfully\u00a0bonkers bit of zombie-riddled terror that follows American soldiers on a special mission into Nazi-occupied France during World War II.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The freaky movie musical began as a low-budget creature feature in Roger\u00a0Corman’s\u00a01960 offering of the same name. From there,\u00a0it grew into a wild off-Broadway musical, which Frank\u00a0Oz adapted in 1986, bringing the play’s\u00a0’60s-style rock and dark humor to theaters around the country. Its spooky\u00a0story centers on Seymour\u00a0Krelborn\u202f(Rick\u00a0Moranis),\u00a0a meek florist whose hunger for love and fortune leads him to murder\u00a0and mayhem as he feeds a giant, bloodthirsty Venus flytrap named Audrey II.\u00a0Few horror films manage to be as funny or as\u00a0toe-tapping\u00a0as this one, which features appearances from comedy legends Steve Martin, Ellen Greene, Jim\u00a0Belushi, John Candy, Christopher Guest and Bill Murray.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
