Look at this! Look at this fucking thing! This was done in 1986, and used absolutely no CGI whatsoever. It was ALL practical, and ALL done through puppetry. Look at the last gif. Over a dozen vines are moving at once along with its head, lips, and tongue! In interviews Rick Moranis has stated he often forgot he was working with a puppet, as opposed to a really ugly guy. Even today it looks so real. Audrey ii is nothing short of miraculous

Okay, but I do wanna say that like. There is an aspect of this that happened in post-production which was timing. There was no way to get something of this size to move that fast, and so the film was sped up in post-production, with the human actors acting in slow-motion when in-frame with the puppet.
