Summary

Leprechaun is an American Horror Comedy franchise consisting of six films and a comic book series. Beginning with 1993's Leprechaun the series centers around a malevolent and murderous leprechaun, who, when his gold is taken from him, resorts to any means necessary to reclaim it. English actor Warwick Davis plays the title role in every film with, currently, the only exception being the reboot, Leprechaun: Origins, in which Dylan Postl replaces Davis as a new leprechaun named "Lubdan." A remake of the original film has been announced, as apart of a two-picture deal between Lionsgate and WWE Studios.
