Leprechaun Pitches - Unmade Movies

[@seanwilkinson7431]

Decker's Candyman vs Leprechaun pitch is something I genuinely would have wanted to see. Hindsight, imagination, and fanfiction can be better than reality.

[@tyrantgregcagkaiju71]

I would kill for a Chucky vs. Leprechaun, or the Leprechaun vs. Wishmaster someone did a fan-made trailer for.

[@charlesbennett7484]

Could you tell me where to find (or post a link to) the fan-made trailer, please?

Yes either of those wud be awesome

@@charlesbennett7484 It's on here. Just search for it.

[@michaelfireheart8300]

Eh, Leprechaun would wreck Chucky, considering Chucky is just a voodoo possessed doll, so all I can see is Leprechaun flicking his fingers and sending Chucky into every wall of a building, before finally sending him into a wood chipper.

wow wow wow wow

[@ryandowney8743]

"Why wasn't this movie made?" "I'm going to need you to get all the way off my back about that."

[@brandonkoranda9781]

Oh getting off people's backs is TIGHT!!

[@Raidenkoko]

Nice

[@CybercietyYT]

For Candyman Vs Leprechaun, an easy way to have them intermingle with each other is actually rather simple. Candyman begins hunting a new spouse, or somehow get the original actress to return as he pines to be with her... until then the Leprechaun appears aiming to make her his one and only bride; a battle ensuring for the "affection" of their true loved one.

[@twily4]

I'm loving these speculative discussions about potential Leprechaun movies. I would love to hear more about other franchises that had similar almost-to-the-screen scripts that had been thrown out!

[@DocBree13]

Me too!

[@jasoncarter455]

It would have been a cool episode of Friends if they had a St. PATRICK'S DAY episode with Warwick Davis being a special guest star playing as himself and as The Leprechaun

[@coryames1170]

And Rachel looks at the Leprechaun like she knows it lol

[@Tchernobog]

Warwick had his own pitch, on the Jonathan Ross interview he said that he talked to Johnny Depp to play a pirate in a Leprechaun movie where the Lep's gold is discovered by pirates. Warwick wanted Depp to play a parody of Jack Sparrow.

[@brandonspain12345]

That would actually work as a movie. A pirate Leprechaun? Come on! It's brilliant. They would search for a treasure of gold and they would steal Leprechaun from his ship and he would fire at them with torpedoes, blow them up or have a sword fight. Also, his outfit in Leprechaun 6 looks the most "Pirate" looking uniform anyway, so go with something like that.

[@easolinas1233]

Turns out the pitches can be even weirder sometimes than the actual weird movies we got.

[@CeeJayThe13th]

There's some wild ass ideas thrown around when it comes to movies lol. Most of the time we get the most watered down version suitable for mass audiences.

[@SomeRandomMario]

Honestly the first pitch about the leprechaun family just sounds like Davis wanted to get his whole family paid.

[@flucazade]

The best crossover would be Leprechaun v Friends, a leprechaun "New Nightmare" where the Leprechaun becomes self aware and hunts down the original actors from the 1st movie.

[@fokushigaru1310]

That was an awesome plot pitch. Also for more stuff like this, there's a treasure trove of info out there on unmade or unfinished Godzilla projects.

[@thedorkone1516]

You probably put more thought in to that Candyman vs Leprechaun pitch than anyone involved in the actual pitch ever would have.

[@stephaniedesmond8329]

Freddy Krueger versus Leprechaun? They could just fight over the spotlight and pun-making opportunities for an hour and a half.

[@Kurtsg10]

I would've loved to see Candyman vs the Leprechaun.

[@eman2863]

I totally buy Warwick wanting to do a family leprechaun film since it would afford him a chance to spotlight fellow little people performers. Heck, he might’ve found a cast through his own Willow Management

[@wraithslyr1]

Love these dives into leprechaun trivia I never knew existed

[@Agentshadling]

The candyman one could simply chalk up to the Lep wanting to smelt the pocket watch to a gold coin, breaking it, killing the curse instead of just the Lep not wanting to destroy it

[@otaking3582]

During the old west, Irish immigrants were generally treated as second class citizens due to their religious beliefs. It definitely would've been something interesting to explore in a horror movie, offer up some social commentary on how it can relate to modern day prejudices. In fact, that idea sounds *TOO* highbrow for the Leprechaun franchise, so maybe that's why the idea was dropped.

[@michaelfireheart8300]

More like too high brow for Hollywood as that would be showing that white people are actually diverse and can be oppressed, while Hollywood prefers only showing oppression of black people. Hence why we have at least a dozen films on black oppression each year, regardless of the fact oppression has happened to other groups. Indentured Servants were used before and used longer than Africans, but also were a mixed bag of ethnic groups from different countries, yet they don't get dozens of films each year.

[@michaelwolfe9496]

I started to write a Leprechaun fan fic some time ago, but never finished it. I was actually inspired by that Leprechaun Family pitch after first hearing about it. Basically my story was that a medieval family finds some cursed gold, but by taking it they have forfeited their souls becoming leprechauns. They fight over the gold, a few die, and the remaining members discover that their gold absorbs the souls of those they kill in turn making their magic stronger. That's about as far as I got, because I couldn't figure out where to go from there. My intent was to tie together all the films by explaining that each of the different leprechauns we see are actually part of this same family. But again I couldn't figure out how to continue the story with multiple leprechauns sharing the gold. I also toyed with the idea of having them fight some Vikings after reading about a raid on an Irish settlement in 821. It seems to me almost too easy to come up with pitches for this series. Then again a good pitch doesn't always equal a good film, so maybe it's for the best we didn't get any of these.

[@freeman5110]

Candyman vs. Freddy Krueger would be the most surreal experience in cinematic history. Just saying🤷‍♂️

[@dr.decker3623]

If it was the Leprechaun being brought into the darker world of the Candyman, and Clive Barker writes and directs it, I would watch it, if only to give him funding to maybe make The Scarlet Gospel or maybe get clout for more funding and make Imajica or Weaveworld, or even maybe make a series of Abarat... we are finally at a state in CGI and practical effects mix that it may not take a billion dollars to do those justice on film lol (maybe even finally a sequel to Cabal)

[@michaelthomas5433]

LEPRECHAUN vs WISHMASTER. Do I have to write this thing myself?!

[@jamesburchill7522]

Here we go!

[@steampunkfox4932]

I love the imagination of the Leprechaun family movie pitch. Your retelling of the pitches are amazing

[@lizsaskia]

I would totally watch Decker's pitch for Candyman vs Leprechaun!

[@cajunmitch4081]

I love lore vids about movies, especially lesser known ones, and it really helps how animated and passionate you are when you are talking about movies. I want more of this stuff actually. Hell, i used to read the post credit trivia you used to put in your older vids.

[@RedRock22Productions]

I honestly loved this film. Now I want to see you look at the lost Godzilla films.

[@justacrystal567]

Love hearing your ideas on what the scripts would be like as well as your different scenes and characters you acted out

[@johnmcclure40]

Someone please forward this video to Tony Todd so that he can rethink the whole Candyman Vs Leprechaun thing?

[@cursingtomcat3713]

I think Meet the Leprechauns would actually be kinda funny as an animated dark committed like a Robot Chicken meets Last Man Standing kinda thing.

[@ashleyewert9358]

Thanks!

[@JerryD9000]

These are great! The (respectfully) quick and sloppy animations are a great touch of charm. Hope to see more. The reviews are the best, but these horror cinema related side projects are great, AND imformative.

[@Bentheriault1]

yeah, i really like that idea of shorter videos on movie pitches with trivia bout other movie in the serie

[@KardboardKenny]

Next time, we can get... THE SUMMER OF UNMADE MOVIES!!

[@chrisduck6312]

Do more endings like this Decker, it is very tempting to click on another video when you’re just standing there waiting for me to make a choice. Kind of reminds me of “A Heist with Markiplier” lol Which is a good thing. Keep up the good work!

[@animejunkee2.028]

Now I wanna watch Candyman again... Your video editing and scripts have been getting better and better. Love your content!

[@jasonvoorhssfan666]

Leprechaun vs Wishmaster sounds more of a better crossover film than Candyman vs leprechaun

[@TelenTerror]

You know what, Decker? You should pitch your Perfect Horror Movie in one of these videos. Or maybe your Perfect Slasher Movie, the perfect monster movie, perfect psychological horror movie

[@Misace2500]

I'd be down to watch more videos like this from you, like make it your Unmade movies series, especially with freddy vs jason vs ash williams we never got

[@albo9246]

Your idea for the Candyman crossover is perfect. I want you to do nothing BUT horror crossovers. Also, I need to hear your ideas for Wishmaster vs Leprechaun

Another great wild info video dude! I know youve never covered Chronicle, but if you ever do there is a complete script that was never accepted you could check out for the sequel. Dont over do yourself on these second vids but really love the extra tidbits of info of things that could have been!

[@thefanwithoutaface8105]

One Idea I remember hearing was Leprechaun vs the Wishmaster. That actually would've been kind of interesting to see. A sort of East meets West of asshole Supernatural Wishgranting beings. It would be kind of funny to see the more serious Jinn clash with the playful and mischievous Leprechaun. Granted the Leprechaun would've probably been out of his weightclass since the Jinn can't be destroyed no matter what you do to him but on the other hand the Jinn can't actually hurt you as long as you don't say anything that can be considered a wish Still it would be a fun idea to explore.

[@Burner-B]

Gotta say, diggin how the second weekly upload is related to the summer thing. Can't be easy to make such a dense subject sound so freeform conversational, but I love the final product. BTW, I think a Leprecandy movie could also be made by leaning into the 'stories have power' text of Candyman. Lean into the true folklore, the 'stories say this is what kills him so this is what will work' idea of CM (neatly explaining the wildly differing versions), highlight the more creepy aspects Lep had in the first movie and since he's an elf there is bound to be some tales that say that coming within 2 kilometers of an apid will make his toenails leak out through his nose or something. Think like a more focused version of American Gods. Hell, fork over a decent budget to get Neil Gaiman to write it, emphasize that you want REAL horror and you would have a slasherfairytale A24 as well as lionsgate would sacrifice their entire staff for. Edit: thinking of American Gods, either set it in the West or make it a duology. Now I wish I was rich so I could commision Gaiman for that story.

[@stjohnja]

This is amazing. I lost it when the leprechaun sitcom started.

Is the leprechaun a playable character in that fan made horror fighting game?... I can't remember what it's called.

[@bangormc3rd562]

Man, imagine if you get a copyright claim for using material from movies that don't exist...

[@otaking3582]

While it makes sense that Leprechaun hasn't been added to Dead by Daylight (too short to work within the game's mechanics), the fact that Candyman hasn't been added is confusing. You can't say that he's not mainstream enough, since he's had a movie somewhat recently that was heavily promoted (at least more than Phantasm V was). You also can't say that it's because of lore reasons, because they managed to make Sadako and Freddy Krueger work. Maybe the rights holders flat out refused, but that's the only reason I can think of.

[@GODCONVOYPRIME]

Would the blob work in dead by daylight?

[@otaking3582]

@@GODCONVOYPRIME Definitely not. It can't attack someone without killing them, it can't be stunned by pallets, and it certainly can't carry Survivors around to lift onto hooks.

[@noahstickley9774]

You know, as I look at this, I keep thinking of this idea I've had for almost a year about someone making a docuseries based on unmade films of any genre and what info the people associated with said unmade films could bring. Idk who would pitch that idea to a service or network but its not a terrible idea if you think about it.

[@a.m.6719]

Fantastic work! I'm so happy I stumbled on your videos a couple years ago.

Leprechaun Sitcom Dad: "OMG GRANDPAP HOW COULD YE DO THAT TO MAH BOSS!!" Sitcom Boss: “Actually, you know what, i'm glad Grandpa assaulted me. You know Leppy, we could use that kind of old-fashioned initiative from you at the workplace” [Sitcom Boss proceeds to hire Grandpa in a position in charge of Leprechaun]

[@Reidbynature]

Wishmaster vs Leprechaun could be a fun one as instead of pitting them against each other in a straight fight you could have them challenge each other to a wish off with both racking up the victims separately to begin with.

[@theshape3988]

These are amazing! KZbin should push these videos much more. Fantastic work 👏

leprechaun vs. chucky just makes more sense to me. both of them represent ridiculous, campy franchises, and both of them are fun-sized.

[@michaelfireheart8300]

Candyman Vs. Leprechaun easily could've been good, hell I could even see a Leprechaun Vs. Jason film where a idiot finds Leprechaun's gold and takes it to Crystal Lake, where the Leprechaun takes on Jason to get to his gold. Still waiting on the Jason Vs. Michael Myers film though, since there's so much potential in these crossovers if done right.

I was thinking of horror versus movies today. Randomly thought of Leprechaun and quickly pitted him against Chucky.

[@SirBrown91]

Deckers attemp at a irish accent were scarier than anything in the leprechaun franchise

[@gregdeandrea1450]

Oh. I can give a reason why the Candyman would Fight the leprechaun. "No Irish Need Apply." Irish Americans also faced prejudice in the United States, mostly centered in New York and Chicago. It wasn't as violent or damaging as the prejudice against black Americans but it still happened. The Leprechaun being used by the Irish in the early 20th century as a spirit of vengeance, like Candyman, would make more sense than a lot of the origins he has had. Candyman would probably come into conflict with the Leprechaun because of, pitching an idea here, a race motivated shootout. Each side losing a family member, and calling upon their culture's avenging angel to help them out. You could actually make this movie fairly smart and poignant if you wanted to.

[@KardboardKenny]

That's a great idea.

[@Godzillawolf1]

That is a cool Candyman vs Leprechaun pitch. Personally, I think Leprechaun vs Wishmaster is a better pick.

[@eddihurta7173]

Also why didn't we see more of the old timey medieval looking leprechaun setting from the third movie, That could be interesting to see leprechaun try to kill a king for taking his gold 🤣

[@devinpaul9026]

There's only ONE villain the Lep has any business swingin' with, and that's Freddy. Same (basic) powers, same proclivity for humor, he kinda LOOKS like a midget Freddy, and doesn't he even occasionally claw swipe people? For a fight, I'd say that's where it's at. As for a team up, do NOT ask me why, but I could see him having SOME kind of dynamic with-- of all villains-- Christine. Maybe They make each other more powerful and he's cruisin' around crackin' jokes while they run people down, or maybe she DRAINS his powers and keeps him captive as her new owner-- because she's fallen in love with him. What if her possession started to slowly turn him into a human or an even angrier psycho or something? I mean, there could be SOMETHING there, I dunno why it feels right but it does.
