Hulu Celebrates 30yrs Of LEPRECHAUN By Adding Entire Franchise To Streaming Service Next Month
Get that Guinness and pot-o-gold ready cuz HULU is bringing one of the 90s most beloved horror icons to its streaming site when every single LEPRECHAUN film will be added for your ghoulish pleasure next month.
With the various entries in the series being spread across multiple services throughout the years, fans who were hoping to marathon the whole franchise in one sitting would sometimes be left out to dry, so with the entire franchise all being in one place, it's a great opportunity to revisit the series. The Leprechaun franchise debuts on Hulu on October 1st.
The debut entry into the series is described, "When a greedy tourist steals a leprechaun's pot of gold, the evil sprite goes on a murderous mission to get it back."
The full selection of titles in the franchise is as follows:
Leprechaun (1993)
Leprechaun 2 (1994)
Leprechaun 3 (1995)
Leprechaun 4: In Space (1997)
Leprechaun in the Hood (2000)
Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood (2003)
Leprechaun: Origins (2014)
Leprechaun Returns (2018)
The debut of the complete franchise on Hulu isn't the only exciting thing that has been announced for the debut movie's 30th anniversary, as it was confirmed earlier this year that the series was set to be revived with a reboot.
"Thirty years after its debut, this franchise still casts a spell, and we're thrilled to be bringing it back with a new vision," Erin Westerman, president of production for Lionsgate's Motion Picture Group, shared in a statement this past June. "Roy [Lee] and Miri [Yoon] are two of our most trusted producers, especially with this genre, and we're excited by Felipe's vision for the film as a director. In his hands, this movie should be very scary and a ton of fun."
After the 2nd film hit theaters, all other sequels were regaled to home video release but have managed to become cult classics for many fans, including this one. Come on, Leprechaun in The Hood was an Oscar winning flick! Okay, maybe not but it was still damn entertaining!
