The Lost Boys

Sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old. Never die. It’s fun to be a vampire.

Today’s young people watch that “Twilight” crap and think that they have watched a “cool” teen vampire flick…..

They don’t know jack squat!

Give me 1987′s “The Lost Boys” over today’s “little girly man” Teen Vampire garbage any day!

THAT was a cool flick!

“The Lost Boys” starred:

Jason Patric
Corey Feldman
Corey Haim
Jami Gertz
Kiefer Sutherland
Edward Herrmann
Dianne Wiest

The film was directed by Joel Schumacher who’s previous film was 1985′s “St. Elmo’s Fire“.

The film was one of the first to prominently feature Kiefer Sutherland who had done the film “Stand by Me” just prior to “The Lost Boys“.

Both Jason Patric and Jami Gertz had both starred together in the 1986 film “Solarbabies” prior to doing “The Lost Boys”.

The movie was filmed in Santa Cruz, California.

The Boardwalk and Amusement Park in the film was the same one featured in the closing scenes of the Dirty Harry classic “Sudden Impact“.

One of the “Lost Boys” is actor Alex Winter of “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure” fame.

Corey Haim and Corey Feldman, before becoming reality TV train-wrecks, appeared in 7 movies together.

The films featured role was that of Michael (Jason Patric). “The Lost Boys” failed to really launch Patric’s career in Hollywood as he has gone on to have a steady, unspectacular career in films. The actor that really got a major boost was Kiefer Sutherland. He went on to the film “Young Guns” and has never looked back as his career really took off after his role in “The Lost Boys“.

The film grossed a respectable $32 Million at the Box-Office and continued a 1980′s trend of horror movies targeted towards teens that included popular music, humor, sex, and lots of blood and gore.

The film won the 1987 Saturn Award for Best Horror Movie.

**Actor Corey Haim died on March 10, 2010 of an apparent drug overdose. He was 38.
