Most of you are too young to remember the film, Night of the Lepus, starring Janet Leigh, Rory Calhoun, Stuart Whitman, and others...the "doc" from Star Trek, for example, but each year around Halloween it is viewed simultaneously by rabbit fanciers around the country who are in the know. This year the event will occuron Mischief Night, Saturday, October 30th.
Video copies are available, but rare. The major? characters in the recent film, The Matrix, (#1) can be seen viewing the?Night of the Lepus?during some? scenes, so you know how philosophically important the film must have been to be included as background for the Maxtrix Trilogy.
We were gearing up for our Night of the Lepus party here in NJ, but we know for a fact it is a major event in Tucker Town, and is screened there annually by buns and guests alike, so our group will be descending upon Tucker Town then, like a plague of, well,...rabbits!
Like Rocky Horror Motion Picture Show, part of the fun is for guests (buns and humans) to dress up like characters in the movie. Our mini lop, Missy, is requesting her ears be pinned up, like the up-ears Lepus that ravage the little western town in the movie, while hermate, Calbert, wants a dye-job to look like his favorite anti-hero in the flic, who frequently fills the screen with his fiercesome, attack rabbit face.
If you've never seen Night of the Lepus, you owe it to yourself to see it, at least once in a life time. Your bun(s), however, will enjoy it time, after time, after time. Trust me!
