A Mondrian bathrobe? Sam is truly a fashion icon, from beginning to end. He also turned out to be an excellent vampire hunter, somehow a great bowman. In spite of his many fears, he was less afraid and more effective than Edgar and Allen, when it came down to it. I hope people find this movie years from now and marvel at the ‘80s fabulousness.
I love that grandpa is more concerned about chastising them about taking his car and filling it with gas, he doesnt stop to question why they are all covered with blood and carrying an unconscious woman and child....lol
Between 1985 and 1987 3 of the best Vampire movies ever were released. This one, Fright Night and Near Dark. Check out the other two if you haven’t seen them yet, especially Fright Night.
This is one of my top 3 favorite movies of ALL. TIME. I watched it when I was waayyy too young to be watching it, and have loved it ever since. Funny story: I was in elementary school and sang the theme song in class one day ("thou shall not killllllll..."), and my very concerned teacher had to make a phone call home. My parents then had to explain it was from Lost Boys and not to worry about it...LOL.
Haha Omg that's hilarious! I love that you watched it so young. It's honestly a great gateway horror. Oh, I remember I was supposed to give you this milk carton thing when I got it and forgot. 🤭 I'm sorry. 😂
Michael character in this movie is the real-life grandson of Jackie Gleeson who was a famous actor, comedian of the 50's through the 80's. He was in a show called the Honeymooner's
This and Flashback were my two favorite Kiefer Sutherland movies. He filmed Flashback in Glenwood Springs when I was growing up and I got to meet him when he was coming out of the Hot Springs. My dad delivered oxygen to the set and I was allowed to go back and watch them film the jail cell scene. They even let me touch the bars which were rubber covered in foam.
"Keifer Sutherland looks pretty damn cool." Keifer rocked that platinum blonde hard in the 80's. Between this and Stand By Me, it was a look. He and Alex Winter rock the only mullets I have ever enjoyed seeing. Marko's is glorious.
My absolute favorite vampire film and one of my favorites in general. I have so much nostalgia for this my late older brother and I watched this religiously it always will remind me of him
"They are terrified!" The Frog bros are great cowardly characters, especially with the tough front that Edgar puts up with his Batman growl. Watching them break every time is too good. "We unraveled in the face of the enemy!" "They pulled a mind-scramble!"
Star is played by Jami Gertz, who you will know from the episode of Seinfeld where she wouldn't share toilet paper with Elaine in the bathroom stalls. Jami is actually the world's richest actor (over $3 billion net worth), and she and her husband have a stake in the Milwaukee Brewers and are part owners of the Atlanta Hawks NBA team, among other investments. She's been the Hawks' draft representative a few times.
WOW. Thanks for the info. I did not believe it at first, so I checked and sure enough, you were spot on. I would never have looked this up, being a Dallas fan, and I would only ever look up Jami stuff to remember a movie she was in. Thanks again.
Loved Keifer in this movie. Blue eyes always do me in. I had the sound track too and played Cry Little Sister until the tape warped. Love this movie! Checks off all the 80's boxes! Still waiting on some of the comedy westerns that have been suggested :)
Damn Jay.. you have NEVER watched Stand By Me? One of the best films ever made IMO... Really one of Stephen King's best stories and adaptations ever!! Really hope you react to that one soon!! PLZ!! lol... You WILL love it!! :)
@@JayBondReacts Oh hell yeah there is love for it!! lol.. Such a great film! I would LOVE if you reacted to it in Nov. I will be first to watch it!! lol But yeah.. you will enjoy! It's in the top 100 movies of all time!
YES!! Thanks so much. Was so stoked to see you do this one. Saw this when I was 8 and wore the cassette tape out. Also a band called Seasons After does a really good cover of the theme song for this movie, " Cry Little Sister".
Grew up with this movie and have always been a fan. Of course I lean towards the vampire films myself when it comes to the horror world. This was the perfect blend of teen comedy and horror for me when it came out. Plus it was the first time the 2 Corey’s did a film together. On another note, love the hat.
Right on! When it comes to horror I lean to slashers more than anything, so much so that I've ignored a few genres outright so it's nice to have this channel to broaden my horizons. Love that it was the first movie the Corey's did together and it was actually something quality!
I certainly liked the film when it originally came out and I still like it. I find it has a good mix of fun and the serious. I know that you mentioned about Stand by Me. I don't know if you've ever actually watched that it but I would absolutely recommend it if you haven't. It's such a great film on so many levels. Thanks for the enjoyable reaction to The Lost Boys.
Thank you! And no, I haven't seen Stand By Me, or if I did I only recall 2 scenes so I'm not sure if I saw it in full. I remember kids running from a train (which also could have added to my mixing these two movies up) and kids with leeches on them. Regardless, I'll be doing a reaction soon and will mention that stuff up front. Thanks again!
U know i'm just realising that if mike didn't stay home the night he attacked sam the lost boys would have gotten their way and he would have turned cuz he was gung ho about killing sam before nanook stopped him
This is one of my favorite movies, I'm sure I watch it at least once a year. It's so fun and campy and pure 80s! I swear every time I watch it, I learn something new. I was reading an article because it's the 35th anniversary and they talked to the cast, it was interesting to read how they filmed some of the scenes. Also Saxman...just learned that he played sax for Tina Turner and and toured with her. He also recently guest starred on Reservation Dogs and was playing the sax on the beach, singing and dancing!! Super random...have you watched The "Burbs? I don't know if I would qualify it as horror but it's a fun 80s movie with Tom Hanks and Corey Feldman. Great reaction and also love the commentary!!
Sorry for the late reply, I've been out of it for the past week. Yes, I watched The Burbs way back in the day. I haven't seen it in years but I remember liking it. That's one I wouldn't mind revisiting for fun.
Great job again, Jay. This was definitely one of the multiwatched movies of my youth.... then I grew up. Watching it as an adult was heartbreaking because I never saw how bad Feldman's acting was. That is a big "me" problem but when I see things like this in movies I loved as a kid, I get shivers thinking how I looked up to his character and wanted to be him. LOL. Another "me" problem was the cover version of "People are Strange." I never noticed it until I already had gone through my Doors phase and it wasn't the original. But all in all, this still is very watchable. Mullets, leather jackets, motorcycles, carnivals, vampires, etc. Everything I wanted as a kid. LOL
Hahaha That's great though, looking up to Feldman! 😂 His bad acting is intentional in this movie at least but I know what you mean. I didn't realize this was a cover of People are Strange but ironically I first heard a different cover by a group called Twiztid which is much different, but I still loved.
Another great horror classic from the 80s that’s been overlooked is Sliver Bullet with a very young Cory Haim and Gary Busey. Anyone else remember this film? I would like to see your reaction to this. 👍🏽
This was filmed in Santa Cruz, California and they had to change the name in the film because Santa Cruz WAS deemed the murder capital of the world back in the day. My schoolmate's mother and a group were savagely slain when we were in the 4th grade back in the 60's when the town was much smaller and unknown
You'd be shocked to know that movie reactions trend older 35-65 so it's pretty unlikely there's kids here unfamiliar with an LP. 😂 Not to mention, records made a come back and became popular with 20 year olds.
Right on! Glad you dug it. I was lucky enough to catch this one when it hit video and have seen it countless times in the last 30+ years. An 80s classic of big fun studio horror done right.
"It was all going to be so perfect, Lucy. Just like one big, happy family. Your boys... and my boys." This movie is a Peter Pan allegory. Max is Peter Pan, Lucy is Wendy, Michael/Sam are Wendy's brothers, the Frog Brothers are Captain Hook/Mr. Smee, and Star is Tinkerbell or Tiger Lily. Once you pick up on the allegory, it becomes a totally different movie. There's been sequels and a remake, but they never understood this concept and just become stupid vampire movies. Fun Fact: This was Corey Haim and Corey Feldman's first film together, which marked the start of a popular "The Two Coreys" trend in which Feldman and Haim starred together in a number of teenage films. Fire Stunt Fact: In the dinner with Max and the Frog brothers, Alan puts out candles with his fingers. Nobody told (Jamison Newlander) that he had to wet his fingers first, so he ended up getting burnt. In later takes, he dipped his hands in a basin of water before putting out the candles. Tourist Attraction Fact: Two men can be seen playing pinball the second time Sam visits the comic shop. The guy with the facial hair is Joe Ferrara II, who actually owned the comic shop Atlantis Fantasyworld. The comic shop has now moved location but is still owned by Joe. The new location of the Atlantis Fantasyworld comic book store, which was featured in the film still carries the original #1 issue of 'Vampires Everywhere' that Sam reads in the film. The comic was created only for the film, and its opening page is signed by all of the cast members from the movie. The owner Joe Ferrara II allows any shopper to hold it and take a photo with it free of charge.
I remember this movie had a kick ass theme song which plays a lot, esp in the climactic scenes. but didn't recall it being played in the climax scene if you get my meaning lol. The vampire house attack terrified me as a kid, esp the lamp scene where he's looking for vampires. Stand By Me was based on a Stephen King story so technically a horror movie? Also, you probably have it lined up already but I'd also recommend What We Do In The Shadows, another vampire comedy, since this movie has probably some references for a lot of the scenes there. I do miss random colored acrylic sheet shapes as 80s store decorations. lol. It's all I could focus on in the video store scenes.
I love this movie its one of my favourites and have watched it dozens of times the first time i watched it i was 11 as i was a huge fan of the Corey's. Oh since u are interested in The Doors there is a movie on them called surprise surprise The Doors which is really good and Val Kilmer plays Jim (the lizard King) Morrison he does an amazing job as he also sings too. V good he looks and sounds so much like him it's freaky.
Btw, I had the sound track to this movie, man I worn it out. My favorites were Good Times with Michael Hutchence and Jimmy Barnes, Lost in the Shadows and of course Cry Little Sister. Great soundtrack.
Soundtrack is pretty dope. I met The Corey’s in Vancouver, at the casino. Probably 2006? Yes. Together (not ‘together’) after all those years. Found out they were filming…🧐 Sober Corey? Not sure what it was called. Didn’t work out well I guess
Yea! Im glad you’ve seen it. I still have a crush on him. I worked in a video store from ‘89 to 94 which let me watch pretty much what ever I wanted all the time. New release tapes had to be returned the next afternoon but all the others we could keep for two days. We were the only place in town that rented Laserdiscs.
@@HappyHarryHardon That's awesome! What a great time to work there too! Laserdiscs were so cool and hilarious. I never owned any myself but I thought they were the best when I'd see them in the wild.
She's great! I do wish the line they say to her was louder though. She's in a tv cut out thing and it's something like "We only come here to watch one thing". 😂 There's gotta be a deleted scene involving her.
Ah! I did watch Parenthood way back in the day. I vividly remember the cover of Steve Martin holding kids upside down but don't recall much from the movie itself.
@@JayBondReacts It’s one of my favorites. It’s got some really funny moments and tons of talent in the cast including yet another Canadian superstar Keanu Reeves.
Thank you! I actually did a reaction for Heathers as well as Jawbreaker which seemed pretty inspired and I'll be reacting to Better Off Dead right after Christmas!
Stories sometimes take artistic liberties with "official" rules on things. Sometimes stakes kill vamps, sometimes only paralyze. Sometimes stakes must be wood, sometimes not (IIRC stakes used to need to be a certain kind of wood, but I could be mistaken). Sometimes vamps can't enter homes without invitations, sometimes that only alters their vulnerabilities.
Sam (Corey Haim) had some really questionable posters in his bedroom, I was that age at that time and wouldn't have ever imagined a Rob Lowe poster anywhere.
The Exorcist wouldn't even be a contender for my top 10. Good movie, don't get me wrong, but it's not one of my top horror movies. I don't think I could ever do a top 10 of all time though. It would be so hard.
P.S. Jason Patric was supposed to play Morrison in that big movie they made 30 years ago. They yanked him and replaced him with Val Kilmer, a significant downgrade. I always thought Patric would have made a much better Morrison.
the Vampire lair was one the hottest Resort in Santa Clara to bad they built it on the Fault line when the Big Earthquake in 1006 hit the are the ground opened up and it took a tumble.
I enjoy The Lost Boys but The Huge Flaw that I have always had with The Movie is Michael & Star's so called Love. There was absolutely no chemistry at all between the 2 & it was underdeveloped & sloppily written other than that The Lost Boys is a Good Movie. I personally prefer Fright Night (1985) which is a much smaller movie but a great vampire movie.
I agree with that for sure. That's why it caught me off guard that they were just all of a sudden making out and then sleeping together. I chalked it up to vampires being horny and perhaps even prior, Star using her glamoring on him in the first place. She was told that he was supposed to kill Michael, so perhaps she was initially mind controlling him to some degree to follow her.
Denis As a gay man, what I despise in movies is the obligatory hetero sex/romance for the protagonist. Not only do I hate it on principle, but often moviemakers don't even bother making it plausible... they're just checking a box of things that "must" be in a movie.
I grew up in that town on the beach. Don't live there anymore but I sure miss those days. From what is going on now in California and that city has lost all of its charm and been overrun with left wing bs I am glad I am not there. Especially how expensive it had become
Whoa, man, this was an amazing review! Your wit was top notch, "that stare down, and that stair down" 😂my first celebrity crush was Haim. So much so, I called a hotline number for him, with the hopes he would call back. My mom called me at my grandmothers house and said, "Hey, Katie, what is a..Corey Haim hotline and why is it 300 dollars?" OOPS. I highly enjoyed you reaction. Thank you!
A Mondrian bathrobe? Sam is truly a fashion icon, from beginning to end.
He also turned out to be an excellent vampire hunter, somehow a great bowman. In spite of his many fears, he was less afraid and more effective than Edgar and Allen, when it came down to it.

Between 1985 and 1987 3 of the best Vampire movies ever were released. This one, Fright Night and Near Dark. Check out the other two if you haven’t seen them yet, especially Fright Night.
I have not seen either of those, but need to. I did see the Fright Night remake when it came out so I kinda know the gist.
@@JayBondReacts Fright Night 85 blows the 2011 out of the water.
👆What this feller said.
You would like Near Dark. One of Bill Paxtons best roles.
Loved Fright Night.
Corey Haim was in a werewolf film in the 80s. Silver Bullet, based on the Stephen King novella Cycle of the Werewolf. It is a highly underrated film.
That was a fun movie. Crazy ole Gary Busey.
Not to mention a pre-Licence to Kill & The People Under the Stairs Everett McGill!
My Favorite Vampire Movie❤ So many memories and the soundtrack I had it on cassette & cd lol
RIP Corey Hain, he was great in this
This is one of my top 3 favorite movies of ALL. TIME. I watched it when I was waayyy too young to be watching it, and have loved it ever since.

I don't know why "Thou shalt not kill" would have been such a matter of concern. It's one of the ten commandments!
Michael character in this movie is the real-life grandson of Jackie Gleeson who was a famous actor, comedian of the 50's through the 80's. He was in a show called the Honeymooner's
I love this soundtrack. I played this soundtrack on cassette tape in my car while delivering pizzas in the late 90's.
That's great!
U mentioned The Doors doc but there's the movie with Val Kilmar doing a great job of playing Jim Morrison.
This has always been one of my faves. And yet another reason why I've had a crush on Dianne Wiest, the mom.
Hahaha Yes! Love that.
@@JayBondReacts while I love her in Edward Scissorhands it was this and Parenthood that sealed that for me.
This and Flashback were my two favorite Kiefer Sutherland movies. He filmed Flashback in Glenwood Springs when I was growing up and I got to meet him when he was coming out of the Hot Springs. My dad delivered oxygen to the set and I was allowed to go back and watch them film the jail cell scene. They even let me touch the bars which were rubber covered in foam.
"Keifer Sutherland looks pretty damn cool."
Keifer rocked that platinum blonde hard in the 80's. Between this and Stand By Me, it was a look. He and Alex Winter rock the only mullets I have ever enjoyed seeing. Marko's is glorious.
Yeah, there's something about Marko's curly mullet that just stands out. 😂
My absolute favorite vampire film and one of my favorites in general. I have so much nostalgia for this my late older brother and I watched this religiously it always will remind me of him
Aw, that's awesome!
If you've ever watched Buffy the vampire series the vampire faces look oddly familiar to a popular 80's vampire flick 😉
"They are terrified!"
The Frog bros are great cowardly characters, especially with the tough front that Edgar puts up with his Batman growl. Watching them break every time is too good. "We unraveled in the face of the enemy!" "They pulled a mind-scramble!"
Star is played by Jami Gertz, who you will know from the episode of Seinfeld where she wouldn't share toilet paper with Elaine in the bathroom stalls. Jami is actually the world's richest actor (over $3 billion net worth), and she and her husband have a stake in the Milwaukee Brewers and are part owners of the Atlanta Hawks NBA team, among other investments. She's been the Hawks' draft representative a few times.
Wow, that's wild. Good for her! And I totally didn't know that was her from Seinfeld "Spare a square!" 😂

Yes!! I saw this twice in the same weekend when it opened here in Toronto back in the 80s. And bought the LP of the soundtrack. Loved it.
That's amazing! Must have been a blast to see this in theaters!
The "LP"? Maybe you should explain for all the kids reading this the meaning of this quaint expression 'LP."
You'd be shocked to know that movie reactions trend older 35-65 so it's pretty unlikely there's kids here unfamiliar with an LP. 😂 Not to mention, records made a come back and became popular with 20 year olds.
The movie that answers the question of why Peter Pan and his friends never aged🧟.
Wait....😮
Right on! Glad you dug it. I was lucky enough to catch this one when it hit video and have seen it countless times in the last 30+ years. An 80s classic of big fun studio horror done right.
I'm envious of you watching it for that long. Look forward to watching it with a commentary at some point to learn more about it.

really likes this review man, following and watching all ur channels this review is probably one of my favorites
Thank you so much!

Btw, I had the sound track to this movie, man I worn it out. My favorites were Good Times with Michael Hutchence and Jimmy Barnes, Lost in the Shadows and of course Cry Little Sister. Great soundtrack.
This I saw after "Vamp" as a child. But they were both hugely funny but for different reasons.
Soundtrack is pretty dope. I met The Corey’s in Vancouver, at the casino. Probably 2006?
Yes. Together (not ‘together’) after all those years. Found out they were filming…🧐 Sober Corey? Not sure what it was called. Didn’t work out well I guess
I love the atmosphere of this movie.
2 of the best Movies of Corey Haim I recommended to do a reaction!
“LUCAS” 1986, “License to Drive”1988(Corey Feldman is in that film too!)
This is my favourite all time movie ! It has everything I love. Vampires, good music and just pretty much anything 80s 🤣
I know it’s not a Halloween movie but TOYS with Robin Williams is a fun watch.
I used to watch that so much back in the day because I loved LL Cool J!
Yea! Im glad you’ve seen it. I still have a crush on him. I worked in a video store from ‘89 to 94 which let me watch pretty much what ever I wanted all the time. New release tapes had to be returned the next afternoon but all the others we could keep for two days. We were the only place in town that rented Laserdiscs.
@@HappyHarryHardon That's awesome! What a great time to work there too! Laserdiscs were so cool and hilarious. I never owned any myself but I thought they were the best when I'd see them in the wild.

Yes Near Dark such a lost Gem.
You're the first reactor I've ever seen mention Kelly Jo Minter. I'm impressed

Actually, you might find that *Stand by Me* is, in a strange way, Halloween appropriate.
Great movie. Dianne Wiest is in Parenthood as well, another great 80’s movie you might want to react to if you haven’t already seen it.
Ah! I did watch Parenthood way back in the day. I vividly remember the cover of Steve Martin holding kids upside down but don't recall much from the movie itself.
@@JayBondReacts It’s one of my favorites. It’s got some really funny moments and tons of talent in the cast including yet another Canadian superstar Keanu Reeves.
You must react to the lost boys the tribe. Good reaction. This movie and the soundtrack is cult classic.
Great reaction. If you haven't already seen them, I'd live to see your reaction to the 80s classics, Heathers and Better Off Dead.
Thank you! I actually did a reaction for Heathers as well as Jawbreaker which seemed pretty inspired and I'll be reacting to Better Off Dead right after Christmas!
@@JayBondReacts Excellent. I'll go back and watch it.
We all had the Lost Boys soundtrack.
Yes! I love this movie!
You will love Stand By Me!
Hey I totally watched this over and over as a teen
Best vampire movie ever. Period.
When people are like I love vampire movies it is this/fright night kinda stuff
HUSKIES RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes!!!! 🙌🙌🙌
One of my fave films of all time. Such nostalgia with this & still watch it from time to time. Soundtrack is awesome!
Also another RUclipsr called Scott on Tape does film locations where he visited all these iconic scenes. Again, such nostalgia :)
Jay,
Set aside time to watch Boondock Saints 1 and 2 😉 I liked 2 better than 1.... there's till talk about a 3 coming out.
🤔 Why did the vampire die when impaled by the horns. They are not wood! 🧛♂️
Haha That's a great point. (pun absolutely intended)
Stories sometimes take artistic liberties with "official" rules on things. Sometimes stakes kill vamps, sometimes only paralyze. Sometimes stakes must be wood, sometimes not (IIRC stakes used to need to be a certain kind of wood, but I could be mistaken). Sometimes vamps can't enter homes without invitations, sometimes that only alters their vulnerabilities.
How's it going?
Heyo!
Sam (Corey Haim) had some really questionable posters in his bedroom, I was that age at that time and wouldn't have ever imagined a Rob Lowe poster anywhere.
I remember having a ton of Pamela Anderson but also Vanilla Ice and Marky Mark. 😂 The probably had to keep saying "For the music!"
What's wrong with a rob lowe poster?
But did you notice where the highly sexy Rob Lowe poster was? On the closet door. Maybe they were trying to tell us something about Sam.
Another overlooked Vampire film is John Carpenter's Vampires, with James Woods and Thomas Ian Griffith. It has a great vampire mythology.
Worst part of the movie is where Cory Haim picks up the action comics and bends the spine. I cringe every time.
Keifer was once engaged to Julia Roberts and nearly married.
Tahiti treat…that’s a flashback
I haven't had that since I was a kid, I have no idea why I said that and not cream soda. 😂
Where do you place The Exorcist in terms of your top 10 horror movie list? My sister who turns 48 this July refuses to watch it, as well as my niece.
The Exorcist wouldn't even be a contender for my top 10. Good movie, don't get me wrong, but it's not one of my top horror movies. I don't think I could ever do a top 10 of all time though. It would be so hard.
good film 😊
P.S. Jason Patric was supposed to play Morrison in that big movie they made 30 years ago. They yanked him and replaced him with Val Kilmer, a significant downgrade. I always thought Patric would have made a much better Morrison.
there is a doors movie starring val kimer and you should watch it
I don't like vampire movies either! Idk what that is about and regardless of that I'm going to watch this 😅♥️
Hahaha Hope you enjoy!
I don't know if you've seen it, but you gotta watch MONSTER SQUAD.
Yes, Monster Squad!! I haven't seen it since I was young but I remember watching it all the time.
Marilyn Manson did a cover of the title track. Cry little sister, I highly recommend you give it a listen on youtube.
the Vampire lair was one the hottest Resort in Santa Clara to bad they built it on the Fault line when the Big Earthquake in 1006 hit the are the ground opened up and it took a tumble.
I enjoy The Lost Boys but The Huge Flaw that I have always had with The Movie is Michael & Star's so called Love. There was absolutely no chemistry at all between the 2 & it was underdeveloped & sloppily written other than that The Lost Boys is a Good Movie. I personally prefer Fright Night (1985) which is a much smaller movie but a great vampire movie.
I agree with that for sure. That's why it caught me off guard that they were just all of a sudden making out and then sleeping together. I chalked it up to vampires being horny and perhaps even prior, Star using her glamoring on him in the first place. She was told that he was supposed to kill Michael, so perhaps she was initially mind controlling him to some degree to follow her.

As a gay man, what I despise in movies is the obligatory hetero sex/romance for the protagonist. Not only do I hate it on principle, but often moviemakers don't even bother making it plausible... they're just checking a box of things that "must" be in a movie.
I thought they had good chemestry in Solarbabies
I grew up in that town on the beach. Don't live there anymore but I sure miss those days. From what is going on now in California and that city has lost all of its charm and been overrun with left wing bs I am glad I am not there. Especially how expensive it had become
This is a great 1980s vampire movie, but I think 1985’s Fright Night is even better.
AIR FIIIIIIIGHT!!!
STAND BY ME is the far better movie, by me.
Oh interesting. I have almost checked it out multiple times. Might finally do it in Nov.

'Happy to hear that Jay -
i'm pretty sure you'll be glad you did -
Whoa, man, this was an amazing review! Your wit was top notch, "that stare down, and that stair down" 😂my first celebrity crush was Haim. So much so, I called a hotline number for him, with the hopes he would call back. My mom called me at my grandmothers house and said, "Hey, Katie, what is a..Corey Haim hotline and why is it 300 dollars?" OOPS. I highly enjoyed you reaction. Thank you!
Hahaha Glad you enjoyed this. The Corey Haim hotline though, that's the best. 😂
