Cinematic Vampires
These are the lost boys from the popular 80's horror/comedy movie about teenage vampires. It was campy and funny and trendy and not real scary, but it was one of the first vampire movies that I ever loved. The vampire prosthetics in this movie, done by Greg Cannom, were totally awesome.
The movie stars Corey Haim and Jason Patric as brothers Sam and Michael Emerson, who move to Santa Carla (real life Santa Cruz) after their parents are divorced. Michael quickly falls sway to Star (played by Jami Gertz) a female vampire-to-be. She hangs out with her gang of vampire protectors led by David (played by Kiefer Sutherland), and including Marco (Alex Winter), Dwayne (Billy Wirth), Paul (Brooke McCarter), and the little kid Laddie (Chance Michael Corbitt.
As Michael falls further in with the vampire gang, Sam makes some friends of his own, Edgar (played by Corey Feldman) and Allan Frog (Jamison Newlander). The brothers work in a comic book store for their parents by day and fight vampires and evil spirits by night (or so they claim).
We don't know for a bit that Michael is turning into a vampire, because we aren't told right off the bat that the lost boys are vampires. There are clues, Michael is able to fly, stays up all the night, the sun starts bothering him. The Frog brothers and Sam start their mission to find the head vampire and thus save Mike. Then, we finally see David reveal the vampire nature to Mike in a very horrific massacre scene.
There is finally, a confrontation that reveals the head vampire, Max (played by Edward Hermann) whose ulterior motive is Michael's mother Lucy (played by Dianne Weist). The picture below is one of the vampires, Dwayne, being killed in a most creative way - "Death by Stereo."
