Jonathan Haze plays a florist's assistant who cultivates a plant that feeds on human blood in "The Little Shop of Horrors," part of the Sag Harbor Cinema's tribute to Roger Corman.

The Sag Harbor Cinema will celebrate the life and work of Roger Corman, the producer-director who died in May at the age of 98, with screenings of three films this weekend that show the range of his long and singular career.

"The Fall of the House of Usher" (1960), the first of Corman's eight adaptations of work by Edgar Allan Poe, stars Vincent Price as Roderick Usher, the ambitious and driven patriarch of a family in decline. 

Corman shifted from horror to dark comedy with "The Little Shop of Horrors" (1960), in which a florist's assistant cultivates a plant that feeds on human blood. 

"The Intruder" (1962) stars William Shatner as a racist who fights court-ordered integration in a Southern town.

The Sweet Smell of Nostalgia at Sagaponack General

Stepping into the new Sagaponack General Store, which reopened yesterday after being closed since 2020, is a sweet experience, and not just because there’s a soft-serve ice cream station on the left and what promises to be the biggest penny candy selection on the South Fork on your right, but because it’s like seeing an old friend who, after some struggle, made it big. Really, really big.
