The Tale of Jake and the Leprechaun

"Are You Afraid of the Dark?" was probably my favorite series as a child, despite its ability to scare me half to death in every episode. This particular episode, however, struck me so forcefully that it gave me nightmares for years, and *spoiler* I always feared that I would be turned into a leprechaun. The basic premise is of a boy working in a theater who chances upon a leprechaun and, through a series of events, he turns into one. I always imagined my ears slowly forming into sharp points and my teeth elongating; my body slowly forming into, not a lucky, friendly creature, but an ugly and wretched humanoid. It's been too long for me to remember all the details of this frightening story, but I would recommend this episode and this series to anyone who would like a few goosebumps...
