In Part II of our Botanical Terror Series we are talking some Horrific Horticulture by means of the many The Day of the Triffids and The Little Shop of Horrors influences and remakes. We also get into the atmospheric Japanese classic Matango aka Attack of the Mushroom People. Then, last but not least, after many side tangents, the segment Creeping Vine in the Amicus anthology film Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors gets discussed.
