50 Classic Horror Films You SHOULDN'T Watch: DON'T WATCH The Leprechaun

Whether they are living under a bridge or mocking you on the internet, everyone hates trolls. It's something about that greasy, short, fat, hairy, naked body that just grosses people out... Well, I suppose, just the fact that they're greasy fat and everything else is enough to make anyone feel uncomfortable. They're even more unnerving and downright horrifying when they have magic powers, green hats and faces that look like peach pits. If I haven't tipped the bit enough yet, I'm talking about the one and only Leprechaun. Over the course of the 7 movie series the gold loving gargoyle has raised hell in Sin City, made em' scream in outer space and done no good in tha hood of Compton...twice in two of the most racist movies I've ever seen! To be fair, The first Leprechaun movie was really unnerving and as a youngster, I just knew for sure that I'd be visited by him just as soon as the lights in my room went out, but that was over 20 years ago at this point and at this point I think it's fair to say that the films have run their course and grown a little stale in the modern day. So, as much as I hate to take money out of Warwick Davis' pockets, lets stay in the spirit of reigniting the fear of the troll such as it is. To do that, I've got three films that should put a little excitement in your Halloween season.

TROLL HUNTER. Have you ever wondered what it would take to actually hunt down one of those fat, slimey monstrosities? Well you don't have to be a great big billy-goat to whip some Troll ass, but you do have to have a great big flashlight and no small amount of testicular fortitude. Troll Hunter is just like it sounds. It's about a guy who hunts and kills trolls and the film crew that follows him while he does it. It's like watching a crocodile hunter documentary but instead of killer crocs, there are giant ogres with a taste for human blood. Totally rules. DON'T MISS IT!

ERNEST SCARED STUPID. I believe it's number 4 of 9 of the films centered around Jim Varney's immensely popular character Ernest P. Worrell. The story centers around dim witted and just generally unlucky boob Ernest and his young friends trying to re-capture an evil troll that they accidentally set free on Halloween night. While you'd think that because it's a children's comedy based Halloween film it would be pretty tame, the story and some of the creature effects are actually reaching the threshold of kid friendly. If you've got kiddos in the house, this is a good pick for them but expect to have to bring in a second night light when it's time for bed.

TROLL 2. "They're eating her...and then they're gonna eat me...OH MY GAWWWWWWD!" This one is for the B-Boys in the place. This is perhaps one of THE worst movies ever committed to celluloid and it's got millions of fans to prove it! Along with it's atrocious acting, terribly written script and an overall premise that has ABSO-FREAKIN-LUTELY NOTHING to do with the original film "Troll," Troll 2 has perhaps the most egregiously insipid stories ever conceived. Basically it breaks down like this. A boy and his family go to this house in the country for vacation and evil vegetarian trolls attack them by turning each member of the family into vegetable goo then eating them. Seriously. This movie gave me nightmares as a boy of maybe 5 or 6 for some reason but as a grown man, I have a hard time keeping my breath from laughter. Do yourself a favor and give this cult favorite a try. And remember.... AAAAAAAAHHHHHRRRGGGGG!! (don't worry you'll laugh later...)
