      This harks back to my childhood and I'm not Jonathan Harking " vampire humor" the twist at the end is great, and the soundtrack. Fun fact seeing this at 7 Holy water was always around. The frog 🐸 brother were always a jump away. Best vampire movie..but Bella Legosi in Universal 1931 "Dracula" was pretty epic. Twilight nope 🙅🏻 "Interview with a Vampire" great. Bram Stokers "Dracula" okay

    When I was 23, my Pop came to my room to ask me if I wanted to see Donald Sutherland's kid play a vampire. Sure, I said. For the next hour and a half, my tongue's hanging out a foot. I have made it my life's work to see everything young Sutherland puts to film and I'm never disappointed. He is the greatest actor of our time. Go beyond the big hits. Look for "Dark City". "Phone Booth". "Last Light" with Forest Whitaker (must see) or "Eye For An Eye" with Sally Field. You won't sleep. This was great fun watching this with you two! So glad you enjoyed it!

    Another great reaction! "The Lost Boys" is one of the best vampire movies ever, one of the best 80s movies ever & BY FAR the best movie the 2 Coreys Haim & Feldman, have ever made. Jason Patric, Keifer Sutherland & the Lost Boys were not only gorgeous, they also had the best vampire hair ever! Did any vampires own hair salons in Santa Carla? 🤔🙃😉
    As hot as MOST of the vampires were & as cool as the Frog Brothers were, the best character in the movie was Grandpa, who was not only a badass, he also had the best line: "One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach: all the damn vampires." Iconic!

    I'm pretty sure the grandpa was a vampire (a good one, without a first kill) at least thats the feeling I got bcs of the dissection hobbie and the "beers" he kept just for him. So...he dissected animals to avoid killing people.

    The first time I saw this was shortly after it come out on vhs. I was around 12 when we rented it. The tape was messed up though, and every time Max said, "it's so much easier if you don't fight," the tape would automatically start rewinding. It was very frustrating and took some finagling to finally see the last 2 minutes of the movie.

    We saw this back in '87, I don't remember if it was at the theater or once it hit cable. We were somewhat regulars in Santa Cruz which is where most of this film was shot, even some of the rides in the movie on the boardwalk we rode, it was a little weird seeing those areas we visited in a movie. lol This movie still holds up all these years later.
    Jason Patric was about as close to a Jim Morrison look-alike as you could get, part of the reason why you kept seeing close-ups of the two, including the side by side shot. Dude had very similar facial features, all they had to do was do his hair differently. Anyway, great reaction as always you two, glad you enjoyed it.

    The film is an adaptation of the Peter Man mythos. Max is Pan, the Mom Wendy. Star is Tiger Lilly. The Brothers of Wendy (Michael and John) are Michael and Sam here. Nanook replaces Nana the St. Bernard. And Grandpa is a combination of Hook and Smee. Director Joel Schumacher said it was one of his favorite films of his career. And yes, I saw it in theaters, bought the soundtrack, the poster, then the vhs, the dvd and finally the blu-ray.

I love how you engage with a film. It's great when people enjoy a movie, you guys can articulate what you enjoy so well, I really love that.

    Surprised no one thought to allegorize juvenile delinquency or lost youth using vampirism before this. The classical vampire archetype is both a challenge to accepted mores (ie. sexual, class systems, politics) but all eventually are consumed by the "shadow" personality that is summoned to achieve it. All vampire stories seem to need both "light" and "dark" versions, like this story. Whomever put this together knew what they were doing.

    I saw it for the first time in 1988. Yes, somehow we lived in a similar way back in the eighties, always celebrating every day as if it were the last, because you never know when the Cold War will start into a hot War. Except for the fact that we didn't suck people dry, I was in a similar mood to those vampires.😂🎉 Every night turned into day and actually just waited for when the Cold War would turn hot. Of course, I also have this film, like a lot of others, in my collection. I'm also just starting to watch special movies from the eighties again. Last but not least, I've seen some reactions from you and yes, I like it.
