Viewing Notes

William Claxton’s Night of the Lepus (1972) was also featured on TCM Underground and amazingly I have not see this unbelievable giant killer rabbit flick. It’s so comical and yet horrifying that they used what appears to be 100 or so actual rabbits. With all that running around and “simulated” electric fence, you know some of those bunnies didn’t make it out alive.
