The Lost Boys (1987)

No. 22 The Lost Boys

Plot Outline: After moving to a new town, two brothers are convinced that the area is frequented by vampires.

Tag line: Sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old. Never die. It's fun to be a vampire

Trivia: The title of the film is a reference to the companions of Peter Pan, who remained forever young.

'David'(Kiefer Sutherland) is impaled on a pair of antlers and doesn't disintegrate like the other vampires. Despite what Max later says, he is not really dead. This was intended to be picked up in the sequel, "The Lost Girls", which was scripted but never made.

The movie didn't originally end on a joke. After the scene with Grampa at the refrigerator, it was supposed to cut to the surviving Lost Boys regrouping in the sunken hotel. The last shot was of a mural on the wall, made in the early 1900's, with Max in it - looking exactly the same as he did today. All of this appeared in an early draft of the script, but ultimately was never filmed.

Quotes: Grandpa: If you read the T.V. Guide, you don't need a T.V.

Sam Emerson: [about Star] It's that girl from the boardwalk. Is she one of them?

[Star floats up]

Sam Emerson: She's one of them! And don't tell me it doesn't make her a bad person, Mike.

For some reason blogger seems to be having issues loading my pictures so all I got is the movie poster. Oh well. The Lost Boys has pretty much an all star cast (at least at the time). A tale about trying to fit in hidden under the theme of vampires.
