Popcultured Classic Movie: The Lost Boys

Oh the 80’s! The era of slasher movies.  But I was not a Jason or Freddy fan. My all time favorite horror movie from the 1980’s was “The Lost Boys”.

Starring ultra-sexy Jason Patrick (who looked uncannily like Jim Morrison) and a young Keifer Sutherland, “The Lost Boys” was a tale of a boy who got bit by the vampire bug. The town featured in the movie was Santa Clara, a sleepy beach town that had a lot of missing children and an awful lot of vampires. 

“The Lost Boys” was a campy movie—funny—and it had a supporting cast that included Jamie Gertz (love her), Corey Haim and Corey Feldman (yes! The two Corey’s!). The soundtrack was totally hot for the time and the movie had just enough gore to qualify it as a horror flick. But it was so campy I was never scared.

Great movie. Go rent it this Halloween.
