St Patrick's Day would not be complete without a mention of that little evil, foul-tempered leprechaun from the aptly-named movie, Leprechaun. While it is typical of the, what I like to call, "cheese whiz" movies (no real plot, little-known actors, not-so-special "special" effects, low-budget), it is kind of fun to see Jennifer Aniston (in her big-screen debut) before she was Friends-famous, and Francis from Pee Wee's Big Adventure as Ozzie, the dim-witted friend of the little boy, Alex. Yes, the writing is terrible, as is such with cheese-whiz movies (we hear such lines as "F*ck you, lucky charms!", and "Burn in hell, you little green bastard!"), and of course it spawned several sequels....5 to be exact, with such creative titles as Leprechaun in The Hood, and Leprechaun: Back 2 Tha Hood, and I am sure there will be more eventually. If you like cheese-whiz movies, you will like this one.
Also, if you like holiday-themed horror films, check out: Valentine, Silent Night, Deadly Night, My Bloody Valentine, Mother's Day, Halloween, April Fool's Day, and Happy Birthday To Me.
I couldn't think of any Easter or Thanksgiving themed horror movies, so if you think of any, let me know.
