10 Slasher Horror Movie Openings That Get Worse The More You Think About It

Imagine you're sat at home, minding your own business, admiring your prized possession. From nowhere, some drunken d**khead breaks into your abode and forces you to hand over that prized possession.

That's essentially the crux of Leprechaun's opening scene. For "sat at home", switch that out for sat in your underground lair. For "prized possession", switch that out for your beloved pot of gold.

When you really think about, Warwick Davis' Lubdan is royally screwed over in Mark Jones' 1993 picture. If anything, Davis' titular character is the victim in all of this; a victim who seeks sweet, sweet vengeance on those who had wronged him. As such, he hunts down Dan O'Grady - the person who stole Lub's gold - and murders him. A tad extreme, sure, but O'Grady should've expected some sort of backlash for his antics.

Upon confronting O'Grady, the Leprechaun ends up trapped in a crate for ten years. So, when he's eventually freed during the present-day setting of the film, he's rightfully pissed off at those who now inhabit the house whose basement he's been caged up in for all those years.

Just think, if O'Grady hadn't stolen Lep's gold, not only would Lubdan not have embarked on a murder spree, but audiences would've been spared the seven dross follow-ups this property has churned out so far.
