Leprechaun (1993) – Awfully Good Horror Movies

Last Updated on February 24, 2022

Over on the JoBlo Originals YouTube channel, they’ve been running a series called Awfully Good Movies for a while – you can check out the playlist at THIS LINK. Now our JoBlo Horror Originals channel is getting in on the action with the launch of the video series Awfully Good Horror Movies… and when you’re talking about awfully good horror movies, one of the best choices you can go with is the 1993 cult classic Leprechaun (watch it HERE). To hear all about it and how awfully good it is, check out the video embedded above!

Written and directed by Mark Jones, Leprechaun has the following synopsis:

Dan O’Grady steals 100 gold coins from a leprechaun while on vacation in Ireland. The leprechaun follows him home, but Dan locks the murderous midget in a crate, held at bay by a four-leaf clover. Ten years later, J.D. Redding and his daughter, Tory, rent O’Grady’s property for the summer. When their new neighbors accidentally release the leprechaun, he goes on a murderous rampage to reclaim his gold.

The film stars Jennifer Aniston, Ken Olandt, Mark Holton, Robert Hy Gorman, John Sanderford, and Shay Duffin, with Warwick Davis as the leprechaun himself.

With the Awfully Good Horror Movies series,

we take a journey through the world of “so-bad-it’s-good” cinema in the horror genre. We’ll provide you with some fun trivia, details on the production, and some food/drinks to go with it. So join us for some schlock as we go through the who’s who of terrible horror cinema!

The Leprechaun episode of Awfully Good Horror Movies was Written by Emilie Black, with Tyler Nichols both Editing and Narrating. The show is Produced by John Fallon and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
