Irish Horror
I completely get it. Leprechaun is a cult classic for a reason. However, it’s often hard to find some cult classics on the days you want them. Here are some movies filmed in Ireland or by Irish directors. Maybe you will find a new favorite!
That being said… if gold, delicious gold is what you are after. The entire Leprechaun collection is streaming on Peacock TV.
