GASP! Horror Festival 2026: Little Shop of Horrors: 40th Anniversary Screening
GASP! are so excited to be hosting a 40th anniversary screening of the theatrical version of Frank Oz’s Little Shop of Horrors! This 80s cult classic musical is one of the rare occasions where a remake manages to outdo its predecessor, and it does so by elevating everything that worked so well in Roger Corman’s 1960 b-movie whilst allowing it to take on a life of its own with incredible set designs and practical effects, stellar performances and so many iconic songs. Join GASP! as they bring this creature feature masterpiece to the big screen at Cultplex!
Film Synopsis:
A nerdy florist finds his chance for success and romance with the
help of a giant man-eating plant who demands to be fed.

When society fractured, electronic music took over. Late 80s. In an England suffocated by unemployment and Margaret Thatcher’s policies, a generation found refuge and a voice in music. In abandoned factories and secret fields, underground raves were born - explosions of light and sound where thousands of youth escaped social oppression to the rhythm of a new musical genre: breakbeat. Fusing the r...
After decades of pushing the boundaries of bad taste with his underground provocations, John Waters found surprising mainstream success with this infectiously irreverent rock-and-soul comedy. It’s 1962, and the only things bigger than the bouffant hairdos are the popular dance crazes sweeping the nation. When Baltimore teen Tracy Turnblad (Ricki Lake) shoots to stardom on a local TV dance party, ...
In David Cronenberg’s subtly provocative film, one of his most celebrated, all is not as it initially seems.

But how did this ordinary family man dispatch the...

As an adult she makes her living dancing at car shows unt...

Although local audiences were not impressed on it's release in 1971, Wake in Fright was an international hit and is credited with starting the rejuvenation of the local film industry.

Presented by Bigger Than Life with a pre-recorded introduction and short film (Shitty Drum!) by director Pascal Plante.
