10 Awesome Horror Movie Villains With One Stupid Weakness

While Warwick Davis' take on the infamous Leprechaun has killed over 40 people during his six outings, this rascal has one of the most ridiculous weaknesses in horror history: shoes!

Sure, a four-leaf clover is capable of putting Lep down for good - well, until the next movie, at least - but in terms of temporary measures, Lubdan is forever distracted by a dirty shoe. In fact, there's a point in the 1993 picture where our crew of survivors literally throw a bunch of shoes at the Leprechaun in order to escape his clutches. And it works, for this villain can't resist the urge to make sure any footwear is polished and shined up real good.

Even when he's killing people, Davis' character will stop to clean their shoes either before or after that kill. For the Leprechaun, he has an extreme case of OCD when it comes to this matter, unable to help himself when a shoe presents itself - to the point he'll actively seek out shoes to clean up.
