Ah, be afraid, be very afraid, and hie thee to a video rental place with
a paper bag over your head so nobody will know it's you. Rent thee a
1972 "horror" film called _Night of the Lepus_, about attack rabbits.
If Lorca had been there he could have blocked the stars for the bunnies
as well as the frogs. Here is the plot summary courtesy of IMDB:

I saw about half this movie. Guilty with an explanation: I was
channel-surfing and landed on the station where the film was being
shown. It is a horror movie, yes, but this ain't no Tourneur _Curse of
the Demon_. This is drek but very funny drek once you get past where
one of the bunnies allegedly eats a child (I came in after that, I
guess, and just as well). How the National Guard disposes of the herd
of carnivorous rabbits is worthy of a page in a Jacques Pepin cookbook.
The cast for this bunny-hop included Stuart Whitman, the most underrated
bad actor in history, Janet Leigh (there is no shower scene), Rory
Calhoun who I recall disemboweled himself with a chainsaw in some
knockoff of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and DeForest Kelley, who went
on to play Dr. McCoy in the original Star Trek series. Beam me up,
Scotty, this movie sucks. None of the small-part players went on to
achieve stardom later: no Steve Buscemi playing the bartender or
anything like that.
Never trust a rabbit.
