Seymour has to sneak across Audrey II's vines, trying to get away withou


t waking the plant. He fails, and Audrey II wakes up. However when Seymour comes out of the Muschnik's before the song "Suddenly Seymour", he comes out from an outside set of steps, directly connected to his room in the basement. Why didn't Seymour just sneak out that way at the end of the movie?

He's leaving for good, he needs to go out through a door he can lock.

I used to work in a used books store with two doors: one at the back, that you could only lock from the inside, and one on the front you could lock any way you wish.

The point was to make the door at the back harder to pick or open violently. Since there was no lock facing the outside, that way it was safer.

Had Seymour left through the back, he couldn't have locked that door.

Well, if you think about it like that, then all Seymour had to do was let Audrey II starve. But then again, that would probably have been a short movie.
