20 Ludicrous Ways To Die In A Horror Film

18. Leprechaun 6: Back 2 Tha Hood (Steven Ayromlooi, 2003)

Leprechaun6 Warwick Davis (Willow) has been transformed into one of the most creepy and classic horror villains in the history of the genre. The Leprechaun series has been bringing us amazingly creative and patently absurd kills for 6 entire films now. From the very first film- where he pogos a guy to death- there have been some great (and some not so great) kills in the series. You've got to give it respect, in this sense, anyways. It seems that when he got back from Space...the Leprechaun ended up in the Hood for the next 2 films. Here he battled a Priest who managed to send him back to Hell- or, well, trapped beneath a Community Center under construction, at least. That is, until the Priest was killed and the Center went bankrupt and became dilapidated. One day, a couple of hood kids are barbecuing on the property, where one of the girls falls into a sinkhole. While down there they find the Leprechaun's chest of gold, which they take and split up amidst themselves, of course. This seems to have re-awakened the Leprechaun and made him hellbent on destroying anyone that has come into possession of his gold at any point in time. Most of the kills in this film are pretty average. But one in particular is pretty funny. The Leprechaun shows up at a party that is being thrown by one of the guys who found the gold. One of the partygoers had swiped a coin that was left lying around. The Leprechaun approaches him while he's chilling and smoking a bong. The Leprechaun proceeds to get baked with him, to the point where he falls over. But when he's getting up, he impales the guy with the waterbong (which subsequently fills up with blood)! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mwavSKPsA8 Death by bong...not to mention the force that would have to go into that...from a physics perspective. I guess I should also give a shout out to Evil Bong here- who, when smoked, will send you on a deadly trip.

I'm also an anarcho-punk fan that rides a bike, enjoys going on hikes, and really likes fruit....a sort of hippy-punk hybrid, if you will.

I enjoy writing learning, reading and writing about politics, film, and punk related issues. I hit shows in TO pretty often and look forward to checking out new films at TIFF every September.
