#3 on my favorite horror movies of the 80s countdown is 1987s The Lost Boys. The Lost Boys stars Jason Patric, Corey Haim, Kiefer Sutherland, Jami Gertz, and Corey Feldman. The film grossed over $32 million, and is one of the most quotable, if not the most quotable, horror movies of all time. Fun facts about the film: The first screenplay written by Janice Fischer and James Jeremias, was about a bunch of Goonies-type 5th-6th grade kid vampires, with the Frog Brothers as chubby 8-year-old Cub Scouts, and Star appearing as a boy instead of a love interest. The original inspiration came from James Jeremias, who caught upon the notion that Peter Pan could fly, visited Wendy and her brothers at night, and never grew old. The simple notion that Peter Pan was a vampire was the genesis for the story. I am actually glad they added the teenagers. They are my favorite part of the movie. Not to mention there are some good-looking men in this film. RIP Corey Haim! You always brought something special to every role you were in, especially The Lost Boys and, my favorite, Lucas. RIP David LaFontaine! You sir made Hollywood movie trailers infinitely more enjoyable than they are now.
