Warwick's wife Samantha is visible on the left in the first picture, on the right in the second one, and wearing a shirt from a totally different movie in the third. I don't have any photos showing the barn loft being used for lights or camera work, so maybe this guy is just having fun. Leprechaun stunt double Deep Roy (foreground, left) and Lep makeup man Gabe Bartalos (foreground, right) watch the action without a costume or stunt mask in sight.


Flirting for the camera. The director is a man who's out standing in his field. Or someone else's field, in this particular case. The local herd sent representatives to check things out. Even daylight shoots sometimes require extra lighting.


Looks like Ozzie and Alex are trying to sell the truck behind Nathan's back! A clever photographer can make the crew's job look even harder than it actually was. You can tell by looking at their feet that they really are standing on a slope, but tilting the camera makes it look extra-steep. Camera rigs come in many varieties. In the first picture, the camera can dolly back and forth on the rails. This movie was filmed in Marlboro country. All Mark Jones needs to complete the look is a cowboy hat.


When night falls, it's time for a group hug. I'm guessing that this is the back of the studio. Shooting in a parking lot. This is probably part of the "in-town" sequence. Although it isn't too noticeable in the movie, there's a lot of odd stuff in the collectibles shop. The severed doll head adds a slightly creepy touch. It got pretty crowded in the shop during setup. Some of the early still photography on the set was done in black and white.


The 'bad shopowner' is about to be surprised by a little movie magic. The leg bite was originally more graphic. The Leprechaun's hat seems to be falling off in the first picture - as of Lep 6, they still haven't found a way to make it stay on during action scenes. The pogo stick is visible toward the left side of the picture.
