AskMeCha: I need help coming up with a fake movie title So I'm involved with a local carnivorous plant society and we have an annual show. Their past promotional posters/flyers have been pretty dull and I'd like to do something fun for them this year (this is also known as me procrastinating on a somewhat boring but for-pay project for a different client).→[More:]

I was thinking of illustrating something 50s horror movie or trashy crime paperback in style (the awesome fonts, the chunky oil paints) and need some help thinking of a good title that I can riff from. The two titles that I sorta like so far are Field of Screams and Seeds of Strange but I'm feeling cold and slow this morning. Can the brilliant MeChas help me come up something better?

I'd riff on the real posters from Little Shop of Horrors, since it's actually got images of a carniverous plant on it.

Little Show of Horrors, perhaps.

This site should help you with some of the visuals (and may inspire some title ideas, too).

I forgot to add I wanted to stay away from LSOH. I love that show (bop shu wop) but I don't want the plant show flyers to be confused for and quickly dismissed as promotions of a live performance of LSOH.

These are all awesome, thank you guys! It's going to be hard to decide on which one to use. I'll post a link to the finished poster when I'm done, if there's any interest.

I just wanted to say that "Feeders Digest" had me rolling.
