10 Horror Movie Survivors Who Vanished From Sequels

Bar an uncredited role as an extra in Mac and Me, 1993's Leprechaun was Jennifer Aniston's official acting debut.

The first film in a franchise that currently stands at eight pictures (yes, really!), writer/director Mark Jones' '93 offering positioned Aniston's Tory Redding in the crosshairs of Lubdan the Leprechaun (Warwick Davis).

Here, Tory and her father J.D. are renting a farmhouse where Lubdan's been trapped in a crate for a decade. Of course, once our titular creature escapes, he soon embarks on a mission to terrorise and torment the Reddings.

By the time all is said and done, Tory and some pals have banished the Leprechaun with a four-leaf clover attack the ends with him falling down a well, which is then torched.

Considering there have been seven movies since that first Leprechaun effort, one would imagine the main survivor of the first film of such a hefty franchise would have returned at some point. One also has to think, given the cruel nature of Lubdan and his penchant for holding a grudge, he would've purposely targeted Tory for what she'd done to him in that 1993 film.

Of course, Aniston would soon be on the air as Rachel in Friends just one year after Leprechaun was released.
