Apr 6 13 4:21 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Over in the "Regional Horror Folder" I had this to say about LEPUS: I once sat in Mr. [A.C.] Lyles' office (formerly Danny Thomas') at Paramount and asked him why he produced NIGHT OF THE LEPUS. For those unfamiliar with his ouevre, A.C. Lyles was the producer of a string of low-budget Paramount Westerns (most of the films featured the "BONANZA mountain" street set at some point) crammed with stars on their way down or in the category of "I thought he/she was dead." From that standpoint these movies are terrific to watch as they constitute the last films of many well-known actors and actresses and offered employment when the town had discarded them. Anyway, nestled among his list of Westerns is NIGHT OF THE LEPUS. He said that he decided to do the film because someone convinced him that it would be a big moneymaker. He didn't say whether that was true in the U.S., but he did make a point of mentioning that it was big hit in Europe! Since then I've learned that LEPUS cost $900K and reaped $3.72M worldwide. Add into that a Network TV sale to CBS (the film aired several times) and it was indeed a profitable film for A.C. His last film credit was as a consulting producer on DEADWOOD.
