13 Bunnies of Halloween #7

I could hardly do a countdown of the "13 Bunnies of Halloween" and not mention the legendarily awful 1972 "Animals Run Amok" disaster Night of the Lepus, now could I? Starring Janet Leigh and Rory Calhoun (I mean wtf) this movie is about what happens when a rancher decides to be nice and stop poisoning the bunnies that have taken over his land -- he gets advice from some egghead scientists...

... who advise injecting them with hormones to disrupt their breeding cycle. Yeah great plan, eggheads! Inevitably before you know it the bunnies are ten-foot-tall bloodthirsty monsters hop hop hopping the town and all of its inhabitants flat as bloody pancake batter. 

This terrible movie deserves every ounce of the ridicule it gets, but nevertheless I miss living in a world where somebody thought this movie was a good idea and got name actors to star in it. I will allow Janet Leigh the final word on the film, as she reflected later on:

"No one put a gun to my head and said I had to do it. What no one realized was that, no matter what you do, a bunny rabbit is a bunny rabbit [laughs]. A rat, that can be menacing—so can a frog. Spiders or scorpions or alligators, they could all work in that situation, and they have. But a bunny rabbit?! How can you make a bunny rabbit menacing?"

That said, this movie does have a great poster:
