From pogo-stick kills to four-leaf plot armor, we dissect how Leprechaun became one of horror’s most bizarre franchises—and whether its campy chaos is worth the pot at the end of the rainbow. 🍀 In this episode: Full breakdown of Leprechaun (1993) Lucky Charms backlash and the wild marketing lore Warwick Davis’s iconic (and ridiculous) killer performance Early ‘90s horror tropes and kid-friendly gore Viana’s Review Corner – Her take on rainbow death and Gremlin-level weirdness Spoof Ad: Green Thumb Lawn Care – Because nothing hides the blood like a well-manicured lawn Whether you're here for nostalgia or just wondering how this movie spawned eight sequels (and a space adventure), we’ve got you covered. 🎧 Horror Cinema Obsession delivers weekly horror deep dives, scene-by-scene breakdowns, and fake ads that might be more twisted than the films themselves.
