The Lost Boys
Sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old. Never die. It's fun to be a vampire.
Directed by Joel Schumacher
Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures
A darkly comedic vampire romp that balances genuine horror thrills with irreverent 1980s charm, anchored by sibling bonds and small-town seaside atmosphere.
When an unsuspecting town newcomer is drawn to local blood fiends, the Frog brothers and other unlikely heroes gear up to rescue him.
