Greetings My 'Green-Colored Spider-Bites!', 'Top O' The Morning Or Uh, I mean Evening To Ya'!!! DITA DIRT NAP here, Wishing you a 'Happy Hor-rific St. Patty's Day!'

In Honor Of this 'Lucky' Holiday, I bring you the 'Fighting-Irish' Horror Flick that so far has 'spawned' 5 Sequels, 6 Tales in all, maybe more called 'LEPRECHAUN'!!!

If you remember years ago in the 'DITA'S DEN', I reviewed 'LEPRECHAUN IN THE HOOD'!
DITA enjoyed that fun holiday-horror fright flick so much I decided to start back at the beginning with the Original, 'LEPRECHAUN' Part 1.
This popular Culty-Green Fright Flick starred an up and coming Television & Movie Star/Media Princess; JENNIFER ANISTON!

DITA best remembers Miss Aniston from the old 'FOX' Sketch-Comedy Series 'THE EDGE'!
Which was hysterical as well was she!
In fact ,DITA highly suggests taking a gander of Jennifer in that culty, little short-lived Series; 'THE EDGE',
in a Couple of funny Sketches by simply clicking here for; Jennifer Aniston as Model 'M'> https://youtu.be/wHpX1i89gRc?si=nIE7qUzEum_i9IPC&t=111

'The Edge'-Sketch Comedy Seg 2 (See Jennifer Aniston & Julie Brown as Ditzy Rock Groupies that starve to death waiting in the Rock-Groups Wardrobe Trunk, and turn into Skeletons With Boob Jobs. LOL> https://youtu.be/4flP1q1raPo?si=NVSySXwvFPSg7QNv
Very funny stuff, kids!!!

Any-Boo, 'PLEASE-WATCH'!!!

Now back to my Review of 'LEPRECHAUN'. Jennifer plays TORI, a 'big-city' Gal from L.A. who goes to North Dakota with her father and moves into a run, down old house that hasn't been lived in for 10 years!
Why, you may ask?
Cuz the evil, killer Leprechaun killed the wife of the Owner and caused her Husband to have a stroke by way of 'fright', silly!

You see the Old, Irish Man/House Owner came back home from a Trip to Ireland to tell his wife, Irish, too by the way, that he caught a Leprechaun and stole his gold and that they would know be rich.
The Leprechaun played devil-ishly by Actor Warwick Davis followed him all the way from Ireland and kills his wife.
The old man then puts him in a crate, places a 'four-leaf clover' on top and nails it shut, then the little Lep' causes him to have a stroke.
Enter TORI/JENNIFER.

To make a long story some what shorter, in a 'St. Patrick's Day-Nutshell', if you will. The Leprechaun wants his freakin' gold back from the people who reside in the same house 'now'. Now Tori eventually takes on Mr. Leprechaun with the help of the ever-so-hunky Handy-man/Painter called Mickey, which by the way is DITA's 'New-Crush', uh, this week, and a young boy and his 'Of Mice And Men'-ish Buddy.  They end up fighting the evil 'LEP' tooth & nail through out the film, even shooting him several times. But it never leaves him down for long.

Towards the middle of the film Tori/Jennifer finds out that the 'boys' have his gold hidden in the well. She bravely goes outside, fetches it, and gives it to the 'on-ree' little bastard.
He even kisses her on the cheek and runs away. You would think that would have the credits rolling wouldn't you?  Ah, 'NO'! Side note; the last part of the film that starts here is just a 'tad' too long for DITA's taste, but still enjoyable, never the less.)  You see the 'OF MICE & MEN'/Lenny-type dude has swallowed 'one' piece of the Leprechaun's precious gold. So he continues his angry wrath until his is finally stopped by a 'for leaf' clover, uh what else, thrown down the well and then they pour..............................???

'WHAT?'
You know DITA never likes to whole story!

So you can find out for self my little 'green' Dearies, 'BUT' DITA will give you my always 'interest-peaking' 'THINGS-2-LOOK-4-LIST' which as is follows;
* All Scene's where the Leprechaun uses various modes of transportation, which include; a toy car, roller skates, a skate board, a tricycle, a wheel chair,
    a cop car and last but not least..............'magic'! (Too funny cuz he never gives up!)
*Scene where Lep' looses his ugly claw hand in the front door and has it unlock the door for him.
* Scene where he plays hide & seek in the woods and later the kitchen cabinets.
*All battle scenes against the 'little, green pain-in-the- ass' against the cast.
*Scene where Leprechaun kills the Coin Shop Owner and then proceeds to clean his shoes. (Cuz he is also a shoe cobbler with 'obsessive compulsive disorder', no foolin!)
* Scene where they side-track Leprechaun from attacking them buying throwing various shoes at and around him, cuz you know, he has 'o.c.d.'(Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.)      and just has to stop and clean every pair. (Love it!!!)
*Last but not least, the 'well' scene.
