But five years before Jason went full Star Trek: Voyager Fan Film, another horror character pioneered the outer space slasher movie: Lubdan the Leprechaun.
Leprechaun 4: In Space is basically Aliens if you replaced all the Xenomorphs with a wisecracking, disquietingly horny, mythological character from Irish folklore and the screenplay with used toilet paper.
Where did this highly influential/completely insane idea come from? It all began as a dumb joke at an office Christmas party. In order to liven up their annual holiday gathering, the studio behind the Leprechaun series created a mock poster for Apollo 13 with star Warwick Davis’ face Photoshopped into it. For some reason, a real-life human being thought that this one-off joke should be the premise of a legit feature film, and thus this ridiculous trend was born.
