20 Awesome Horror Villains Introduced In TERRIBLE Movies

20. Lubdan - Leprechaun

1993's horror-comedy Leprechaun is pretty damn ropey by any conventional metric - memorable only for starring Jennifer Aniston in an early role and also Warwick Davis' genuinely superb performance as Lubdan the vengeful leprechaun.

Despite the campy nature of the material, Davis gives a genuinely well-rounded and fully committed turn, bringing playful menace to the character while aided by some undeniably brilliant makeup and costume work.

Without such a great performer and killer character design, Leprechaun would've surely been a one-and-done affair, yet it led to a six-movie franchise in which Lubdan went to both outer space and the hood, with Davis portraying him for the entire original run of movies.

For as deeply stupid as the first film and really the entire franchise is, the villain work is actually honest-to-God brilliant throughout, Lubdan proving to be one of the most supremely watchable and even downright iconic horror villains of the 1990s.
