Luckily, there's a franchise for that. Leprechaun (1993) is the perfect film for holiday horror fun this weekend. And for those feeling the luck of the Irish, ...

There are rumors of a new Leprechaun in the works, produced by Lionsgate. Leprechaun 4: In Space is where the production gets out of hand. This installment includes a prologue that shares the origins of the leprechaun and his obsession with gold. The movie ends in a parodied music video with the leprechaun rapping. Another stand-alone film in the franchise, Leprechaun 3 is both cheesy and gaudy with the glitz and glamour of a Vegas backdrop, but it's still essential for viewing as part of a Leprechaun marathon. Leprechaun 2 was released the year after Leprechaun (1993) and takes place in Los Angeles, California. Leprechaun in the Hood is one of the funnier films in the series. Ozzie accidentally swallowed one of the gold coins and let the leprechaun out of his wooden prison, and that's sort of how they got into the whole mess. [Leprechaun Returns](https://collider.com/leprechaun-returns-took-the-franchise-back-to-its-roots/), serves as a sequel to the very first film. The same goes for Leprechaun 4, only this time it takes place in space and involves aliens. [Starring Warwick Davis](https://collider.com/best-warwick-davis-performances/) and created by director Mark Jones, the franchise wasn't as cinematically popular as one might hope. Leprechaun (1993) is the perfect film for holiday horror fun this weekend.

Liam then ran outside to join the others in spending the rest of the day pranking, laughing, and singing. He told the leprechauns about his meeting with Liam and how sad he was and how he wished the others would be nice to him and to each other. He determined that the best and quickest way to bring peace and harmony to the leprechauns would be to replace their obsession with gold with something more constructive. Between the potion and the pranks, you’ll be making Ireland a better place in which to live.” He was the butt of countless short jokes and was often not chosen to participate in games and activities. Patrick.” Liam was in the presence of the Patron Saint of Ireland. He mentioned how sad he was, how he was bullied, and how many of the leprechauns took pleasure in playing cruel tricks on each other and humans and were interested only in hoarding their gold coins. Liam and the others chose to stay. If they chose to leave, they were returned to the orphanage. The boys were randomly chosen, brought to Bridangobragh, and introduced to a new way of life. Originally, they were a group of orphans who had fled the horrible conditions and brutal headmaster of their orphanage in Dublin, ultimately finding sanctuary deep in the Macgillycuddy’s Reeks Mountains. As Liam looked around, he marveled at the beauty of it all-tree covered hills, a valley cut in half by a large bubbling brook and the freshest air he had ever smelled.
