Not only does the 1987 The Lost Boys feature “The Coreys” in all their glory, but it was a teen vampire pic refreshingly low on romance and glitter and high on angst and violence. Joel Schumacher directed a cast full of young up-and-comers like Jason Patric, Kiefer Sutherland, Jami Gertz and of course the outrageously ’80s teen icons Corey Haim and Corey Feldman.
Though it wasn’t exactly a box office success, The Lost Boys does represent the somewhat innocuous angst of the 80s with effective metaphor and cinematic style.
