Throughout the slasher boom of the 1980s, nearly every holiday was offered up on the proverbial chopping block, from Halloween to Valentine’s Day to Mother’s Day to Christmas, from birthdays to prom nights and everything in between. However, one holiday remained untouched until 1993, when writer/director Mark Jones decided to put a horror spin on a certain date initially designed to honor an Irish bishop, Saint Patrick. And when our thoughts turn to Ireland, we instantly think of that mythical creature neatly filed between fairies, elves, and sprites... the Leprechaun!

Across 30 years and eight films, our Little Green Man has been been all over the place, from the sticks to the Strip, from the darkest inner city alleys to the deepest reaches of space, and he shows no sign of slowing down with his patented brand of creative kills and rhyming criming. He’s hundreds of years old, always bold, enjoys his gold, and he’ll kill you stone cold. It’s the Leprechaun, and he’s coming for you!


Join AC and his intrepid crew (Eric Anderson, Gert Verbeeck, Vanessa Morgan) for their St. Patrick's Day Odyssey through the entire Leprechaun franchise. It's more fun that a pint of Guinness... and cheaper too!
