Leprechaun

The movie "Leprechaun" is a quintessential horror-comedy, and its emotional landscape reflects this blend. The dominant emotion is **Humor**, stemming from the titular leprechaun's campy one-liners, absurd methods of attack, and the overall B-movie aesthetic that encourages laughter rather than genuine terror. While classified as horror, the **Fear** and **Anxiety** are present but often diluted by the comedic tone, manifesting as suspense from the creature's relentless pursuit and jump scares, rather than deep psychological dread. **Surprise** arises from the leprechaun's unpredictable actions and the fantastical elements. **Disgust** can be evoked by some of the creature's appearance or the more grotesque moments, though these are typically played for shock value rather than true revulsion. **Joy** and **Happiness** are derived from the entertainment value of the film's comedic aspects and its cult status. **Anticipation** and **Curiosity** keep the audience engaged, wondering what outlandish thing the leprechaun will do next and how the protagonists might finally defeat him.
