I love Night of the Lepus.

I can say quite honestly it's one of my favorite movies. I wish it had made it's way on to MST3K, because I can only imagine the fun Crow, Tom Servo, and Joel would have had with it. You should watch it on Easter. It also has DeForrest Kelly.

On the other hand THEM! is a great giant radioactive mutant animal movie and does a much better job with the suspense. Leonard Nimoy has a small uncredited role.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I agree, askye! It was pretty good.

Hey. New board.

In terms of non-scary-mutant movies, I'm a big fan of "Attack of the Killer Shrews." The giant shrews are adorable puppies with cardboard noses!

Have you seen Night of the Lepus?

Dude, do not mock Night of the Lepus. It is a classic. Classic what, I'm not sure, but I'm very fond of it. I suspect it is part of the Evil Bunny Alliance's plan to lull everyone into complacency regarding bunnies, so that no one will be able to resist when Clovis finally takes over the world.

It also has DeForrest Kelly.

And Janet Leigh! She eventually did learn to avoid cheap motels.

I kind of want to know what cause the night of the lepus. But I just want them to tell me, I don't want to watch the movie.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

After reading about how Harrison Ford's multi-billion dollar box office career developed in the wake of Nick Nolte's refusals, I can see how the scary drunken mug shots came about.

How is it possible to consider Cate Blanchett and Jenna Elfman for the same role?!?

I kind of want to know what cause the night of the lepus-

It all starts with one radioactive bunny. There's a lab doing experiments out in the desert and someone brings their little girl in who sees the bunnies and feels bad about them and steals one and let's it go out in the desert.

This bunny then does what bunnies do best. Or at least most often. Thus this one bunny begats a adorable terrifying giant swarm of bunnies with a taste for blood. Human blood.

Art Crawl!!!

But they weren't a human/bunny mix? Because that's how the Scifi channel would do it.

(P-C - a flock of passenger pigeon/human hybrids = ecological disaster.)

No they aren't human/bunny hybrids. They are giant bunnies though. I'm sure they didn't have a budget for anything like costumes, even leftover Easter bunny costumes. They have the bunnies hopping through a model train set to show how big they are.
