Kill Count: 51

One of the few entries on this list with 0 human sensibilities about him, this Irish legend has no allegiances with our kind, and boy, does he relish in it. Hunting down those that mess with his magical gold, The Leprechaun takes vengeance on any that interfere with his mythical business, often killing people in imaginative and violent ways complete with a lovely rhyming song. How quaint.

The Leprechaun is another villain taking inspiration from the lighter side of life, combining horror and comedy to make something that’s bizarrely original. Warwick Davis dressed as an angry leprechaun cursing those that he interacts with to die by exploding ass or lightsaber fight is everything you didn’t know you needed - and he’s racked up plenty more hilarious deaths in the interim. Whether it’s space or in ‘da hood’, the leprechaun is coming for anyone who takes a shine to his treasure, so keep your hands to yourself.

Seven films that are mostly straight-to-DVD offer plenty of cheap fun, schlocky death scenes, and ill-rendered effects to keep your gory appetite sated.

Best Kill: Death by bong
