Leprechaun is a series of horror comedy films that centers on an evil and murderous leprechaun named “Lubdan” who, when his gold is taken from him, goes on a rampage and wreaks havoc as he does whatever it takes to get his gold back. The first Leprechaun film was released in 1993 and was followed by six sequels and a remake.

The third film in the series Leprechaun 3 was shot in Las Vegas, NV and became the highest selling direct-to-video film of 1995. In this sequel, the leprechaun was turned into a statue by a magical medallion and sold to a Las Vegas pawn shop. The leprechaun comes back to life when the clerk removes the medallion, and he goes on a killing spree through Las Vegas in search of one of his wish granting coins.
