“SLEEP ALL DAY. PARTY ALL NIGHT. IT’S FUN TO BE A VAMPIRE.”

On this episode of Hype from Outer Heaven, join Kyle and Brandon (Prince is off on his travels and Caleb couldn’t get out of work for this one) as they re-visit one of their most formative movies from their childhoods; Joel Schumacher’s excellent 1987 black comedy, vampire flick: The Lost Boys.

Pulling in over $32 million against a $8.5 million budget, The Lost Boys was a commercial and critical success when it released in 1987, spawning multiple sequels and developing one hell of a cult following over the years, making the film one of the most revered vampire movies to ever come out of Hollywood.

To quote the back of the VHS box:

“Sam and Michael are all-American teens with all-American Interests. Sam likes comic books. Older brother Michael likes girls. But after they move with their mother to peaceful Santa Carla, California, their relationship mysteriously begins to change. Sam still likes comic books. Michael now likes ghouls. Just wait ‘til mom finds out!

Want a movie with horror, humour, rock’n’roll? Then sink your teeth into the stylish, with-it horror-comedy The Lost Boys….to give a right now, razor-toothed intensity to vampire tradition, in this must-see shocker packed with heart pounding terror, rib-tickling laughs and body-gyrating rock from INXS and Jimmy Barnes, Lou Gramm, Echo and the Bunnymen and others.

Stake out your evening’s entertainment and thrill to vampirism at it’s hippest, funniest, scariest. Party with the Lost Boys!”

Featuring Jason Patric, Keifer Sutherland, Corey Feldman & Jami Gertz among others; the cast for The Lost Boys was relatively unheard of upon release, adding to its already stellar legacy with an electrifying cast that gave the movie it’s charm wit and style that has endured for nearly 40 years, solidifying itself as one of the best movies in a decade that was littered with vampire flicks.

Stay Frosty!
