Haze and Corman's most memorable collaboration is the 1960 dark comedy "The Little Shop of Horrors." Haze's character Krelborn, an employee at an impoverished florist shop, finds himself at the center of a murderous enterprise when the strange plant he's been growing requires blood for nourishment.

The film, which co-starred Jackie Joseph, Mel Welles and Jack Nicholson, grew a cult following over the years and spawned several adaptations. An off-Broadway rock musical by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman debuted in 1982, and a film version – directed by Frank Oz and starring Rick Moranis – followed in 1986.

An animated children's series based on the film, titled "Little Shop," ran for one season on Fox Kids in 1991.

Haze worked with Corman again on 1963's "The Terror," a supernatural horror co-directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starring Haze's "Little Shop" co-star Nicholson.
