Night of the Lepus (1972)
Greetings and Happy Easter! It’s time once again to share more holiday horror. As you may have noticed on holidays, I tend to focus on holiday related movies instead of films that may actually be classics. Night of the Lepus falls into this category.
This week…we focus on a film with killer rabbits. Is there anything more terrifying? A bunny hopping towards you with big floppy ears and a little cotton tail (I know…their tails aren’t actually cotton). Well this film may change your mind. Night of the Lepus stars Janet Leigh, Stuart Whitman, Rory Calhoun, and DeForest Kelley. It was filmed with actual domestic rabbits as well as people in rabbit suits. It was released in 1972 and was based on the book The Year of the Angry Rabbit.
Watch the trailer and some clips!
