10 Most Spiteful Horror Movie Easter Eggs

10. "F**k You, Lucky Charms" - Leprechaun

Leprechaun writer-director Mark Jones was inspired to create a horror movie centered around an evil, vengeful leprechaun (Warwick Davis) by watching the iconic commercials for the beloved breakfast cereal Lucky Charms.

Hilariously the film also makes a number of cracks at Lucky Charms' expense, apparently as a result of the cereal's parent company (General Mills) refusing to partner with the movie in a mutually beneficial product placement opportunity.

The first occurs when the leprechaun hungrily raids some cupboards and comes across a box of "Lucky Clovers," but after eating a mouthful spits them out, their taste apparently not to his liking.

But the more pointedly vitriolic Easter egg comes right at film's end, when young Alex (Robert Hy Gorman) uses his slingshot to defeat the leprechaun, but not before legendarily shouting, "F**k you, Lucky Charms!"

You can't really blame a breakfast cereal conglomerate for not wanting to get involved with a daft, low-budget horror movie, and ultimately the film is all the better for including these thinly-veiled jabs anyway.
