Sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old. Never die. It’s fun to be a Living Dead Doll.

The boardwalk just got bloodier, because David from The Lost Boys is sinking his fangs into Mezco Toys‘ Living Dead Dolls line.

The leader of Santa Clara’s most stylish vampire gang features windswept blonde hair, a fanged snarl, and a piercing stare. He’s dressed in his signature black-on-black layered look, complete with a removable duster jacket, removable biker jacket, cross earring, and boots.

The 10″ doll features five points of articulation and comes packaged in a window box.

Priced at $54.99, it’s estimated to arrive in December.

Kiefer Sutherland played David in Joel Schumacher‘s 1987 horror classic in which a pair of brothers discover their new town is haunted by vampires.

The Lost Boys also stars Jason Patric, Corey Haim, Dianne Wiest, Barnard Hughes, Edward Herrmann, Jami Gertz, Corey Feldman,...

Some horror comedies take a long time before they get their due, criticized upon their initial release only to grow into cult classics. This was not the case with "The Lost Boys," however. Audiences knew pretty much immediately that they had a quirky little gem on their hands. It stars Corey Haim and Corey Feldman as Sam and Edgar, a pair of teenage would-be vampire hunters who have to act fast to prevent Sam's older brother from turning into a vampire himself. With a broody nighttime aesthetic and lusty legacy that serves as a perfect counterpoint to the film's inherent sense of humor, "The Lost Boys" is now regarded as a light-hearted vampire classic, bringing the aristocratic children of the night into a bit of California sunshine.

In the nearly 40 years since its release, some of the actors from "The Lost Boys" have gone on to have impressive careers in Hollywood,...

While I still have some fun classic sci fi stories to address coming up, I wanted to break off and take a look as well as give props to one of the more prolific yet slept-on horror authors to get adaptations. Stephen King is the all-time number 1 but there are others in the 20th century that could at least eat at the same table as him. For the younger generation, that certainly means R.L. Stine has entered the conversation and maybe we will get to an adaptation video about his recent Fear Street collection but the guy I’m thinking of is a little different. Dean Koontz is often derogatorily referred to as a poor man’s Stephen King but he has sold and made millions while having plenty of his works turned into films. While The Funhouse from Tobe Hooper will certainly be discussed at some point as I...

Corey Feldman, poster child for 1980s teen stardom, has had more than his share of celebrity feuds. Over the decades, he’s publicly griped about Diddy, Michael Jackson, Howard Stern, Charlie Sheen, Barbara Walters, Marilyn Manson, Aaron Carter and even his Bff Corey Haim. Now we can add another name to the Feldman Enemies List: Johnny Depp.

Leonardo DiCaprio received his first Oscar nomination for playing disabled boy Arnie in Who’s Eating Gilbert Grape? in 1993, but Feldman had a role in that movie too, the former teen idol told Billy Corgan on his Magnificent Others podcast. In fact, he claims, he landed the part before either DiCaprio or Depp were hired for the film. “I was actually cast to play Leonardo DiCaprio’s role,” Feldman explained. “I never saw the film because I’m still bitter. Bitter leaf in that one. But yes, I was originally cast for that role.

Prior to the 2016 presidential election, Jon Cryer, most notable for starring alongside Charlie Sheen in Two and a Half Men, drew an interesting correlation between Donald Trump and his former co-star. Although the actor often avoided delving into politics, he was right on the money with his remarks on the whole Trump affair.

Having witnessed Sheen’s shenanigans firsthand during his Two and a Half Men years, Cryer highlighted one parallel between the Platoon star and the Home Alone star and even deemed the latter the Charlie Sheen of politics.

Stanley R. Jaffe, a former Paramount Pictures president who became the youngest studio chief in history and later won a Best Picture Oscar for producing Kramer vs. Kramer and was nominated for Fatal Attraction, died today. He was 84.

CAA, which repped Jaffe, confirmed his death to Deadline.

Jaffe was a decade into his career when he produced Kramer vs. Kramer, the riveting 1979 child-custody drama starring Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep, both winning lead acting Oscars — Streep’s first of three. It also scored Best Director and Adapted Screenplay Oscars for director Robert Benton.

He followed that by producing Taps, about a mutiny at a soon-to-close military academy, starred Timothy Hutton and launched the careers of such future stars as Tom Cruise, Sean Penn and Giancarlo Esposito.

Those films came after Jaffe produced the 1969 Richard Benjamin-Ali MacGraw drama Goodbye, Columbus; I Start Counting (1970); the Jeff Bridges Civil War-era Bad Company (1972); and...

Stephen King's Silver Bullet, the horror film starring Gary Busey, is now available to stream for free. It joins a host of new horror movies available on Tubi.

Silver Bullet arrived on Tubi alongside the first four installments in the Insidious franchise,Quarantine and Quarantine 2: Terminal, and the Brad Pitt-led World War Z zombie movie. Silver Bullet was released in 1985 and is based on King's 1983 novella Cycle of the Werewolf. Busey stars as Uncle Red, a loyal man who cares for his niece and nephew despite being seen as the town drunk. Corey Haim and Megan Follows star as Busey's niece and nephew, Marty and Jane Coslaw, respectively.

As a series of murders plagues the town, Red and his family try to uncover the truth behind the killings. When the townspeople form a vigilante group to track down the attacker, the murders continue to pile up, with a suspected werewolf responsible.

It’s as if we’re all characters in a tragic play where the lines blur between truth and fiction. Hollywood, the land of make-believe, has always had a dark underbelly. Some stories leave a dark stain that refuses to be wiped away. Charlie Sheen’s alleged assault on Corey Haim in 1986, when Haim was just 13, is one of those stories.

It’s all come to light now—decades after the incident—but the truth remains as elusive as ever.

The allegations against Sheen, particularly from his then-13-year-old co-star Corey Haim during the filming of Lucas, have left a trail of confusion, anger, and frustration. Some believe Haim’s tragic demise—losing his life at just 38, after years of battling addiction—was a consequence of the abuse he endured as a child star.

On the flip side, Sheen has repeatedly denied the accusations,...

The 1980s werewolf movie Silver Bullet was panned as a complete howler by many critics on its release, but fans of the cult classic werewolf movie starring Gary Busey and Corey Haim from the mind of Stephen King can now stream the movie for free. The horror film from 1985 is now part of Tubi's extensive library of scary movies, although the scares in this one are admittedly few and far between. However, that doesn't mean Silver Buller isn't worth a rewatch.

Other horror titles arriving on Tubi include four Insidious movies, both Grindhouse movies by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, the zombie feature starring Brad Pitt, World War Z, and the "alligators act like sharks" movie, Crawl, among others. However, if you're in for a Stephen King marathon, Tubi also offers adaptations like Children of the Corn, two Carrie movies, the author's directorial effort Maximum Overdrive, and Creepshow 2.

In the entertainment industry, no case or event is without its own set of controversies. Over the years some of these controversial theories have gained such traction that there are a set of people who wholeheartedly believe them to be true instead of the evidence pointing the other way. One of these handful few controversies is the alleged suspicious link between Michael Jackson, Kim Porter, and Brittany Murphy.

All three of these celebrities passed away at quite young ages, due to a range of different causes. However, even after their passing their deaths continue to create speculations based on ill-founded coincidences.

The allure of the werewolf has persisted for centuries, rooted in mythology that speaks to our darkest fears and primal instincts. Representing a loss of control and a descent into savagery, werewolves embody the tension between humanity and beast. In cinema, these themes have been explored in a variety of ways, from tragic tales to gory thrill rides.

With the release of Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man (2025) today, the werewolf genre has received a modern update that honors its roots while exploring the emotional depths of family, sacrifice, and monstrous transformation. To celebrate, we’ve compiled the ultimate list of the best werewolf films ever made, ranked by acclaim and legacy.

While the age-old adage "less is more" is sound filmmaking advice, the opposite applies to Jason Statham's relentless action movies. A case in point is Crank 2: High Voltage, a balls-to-the-wall action sequel that goes so far over the top that it dwarfs the absurdity of the original to leave a big, fat grin etched on the faces of hardcore Statham fanatics. Critics were also impressed, giving Crank 2 slightly better reviews than its predecessor.

Boasting a wild premise that forces Statham's Chev Chelios into a ticking-clock health scenario, Crank 2's high-voltage electricity derives from the extreme plot, flagrant fight scenes, hyper-violence, morbid humor, kinetic camerawork, Statham's breathless stunt work, and more. With the film recently celebrating its 15th anniversary, it's time to hook up the jumper cables and bring Crank 2: High Voltage back to life.

The famous Santa Cruz Wharf partially collapses into the ocean, losing a piece of cinema history in the process.

Per Deadline, a portion of the Santa Cruz Wharf collapsed into the Pacific Ocean around noon on December 23. At least 150 feet of the nearly 3,000 foot pier was lost, with at least three people standing on the Wharf when it collapsed. Two of those involved had to be rescued from the waters below, though thankfully no major injuries were reported. It was noted that, prior to the collapse, the Wharf was being struck by near continuous waves reaching between 15 and 20 feet tall.

Presented by Steven C. Miller’s Werewolves, Bloody Disgusting is looking to the stars and howling at the moon with Werewolves Week. Today, Luiz H.C. grabs a handful of silver bullets as he revisits six iconic werewolf deaths in horror history.

Personally, I’ve always found monster movies to be more thrilling when they give the protagonists a fighting chance. This tiny sliver of narrative hope usually comes in the form of a specific weakness that can be exploited in order to defeat whatever creature happens to be attacking, with one of the most famous examples being werewolves’ “allergic reaction” towards silver – with even young children being aware of this fatal weakness.

However, there’s more than one way to skin a cat (or a lycanthrope), and in honor of Steven C. Miller’s upcoming Werewolves, which depicts a world where a Supermoon event has turned millions of people into monsters,...

Was Charlie Sheen accused of raping a 13-year-old? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Allegations against Charlie Sheen involving Corey Haim have taken his wild but lovable image into dark territory. In the wake of #MeToo, Sheen was accused of sexually abusing 13-year-old Haim on the Lucas set in 1986—a bombshell claim first reported by The National Enquirer via former actor Dominick Brascia, shaking Hollywood.

According to Brascia, Haim confided in him about the disturbing encounter, saying that Sheen initiated the abuse after they smoked pot together. It was an incident that, according to Brascia, left Haim confused and rejected. Other sources later corroborated the claim, stating that Haim believed he was “in love” with his abuser, a typical psychological response from young victims of such trauma.

But Sheen, true to form, didn’t quietly bow out. His legal team swiftly denied the accusations, labeling them as twisted fabrications, while Haim’s mother,...

If the 1985 horror film Silver Bullet, which is based on the 1983 Stephen King novella Cycle of the Werewolf, was made for the primary purpose of scaring audiences, then it's a dismal failure. However, if viewed as a comedy in the guise of a horror film, Silver Bullet contains more laughs than most successful straight comedy films of its era. Maybe Silver Bullet was intended to be a parody of the classic King plot formula, in which a small town is terrorized by unspeakable horror. The movie is set in 1976 in the fictional town of Tarkers Mills, Maine, where, in the films opening scenes, several townspeople are brutally murdered by a killer with razor claws and teeth, under the spell of a full moon.

While most of the suspense in Silver Bullet ostensibly revolves around the question of who among the remaining townspeople is the killer, or the werewolf, anyone whos...

Winona Ryder has had her career ups and downs since she made her film debut at age 15 as a high-schooler who befriends Corey Haim, her bully-targeted classmate, in 1986’s “Lucas.” She reigned as one of the most in-demand film actresses in the ‘90s as she transitioned into more adult roles. Ryder hit an unfortunate speed bump in 2001, after she faced shoplifting charges for stealing $5,500 worth of merchandise from a Saks Fifth Avenue department store. She ended up sentenced to three years of probation, 480 hours of community service and various fines while receiving both psychological and drug counseling.

Ryder took time off from acting between the time of her arrest until 2005, when she appeared in a string of indie films. But her true comeback arrived in J.J. Abrams‘ 2009 “Star Trek” reboot as Spock’s human mother Amanda Grayson. These days, she is best known as single mother Joyce Byers, whose...

Spooky season is upon us and, for a great many movie lovers out there, that means it's time to binge some horror. In the age of streaming, there are countless rabbit holes one could fall down in the quest to find the perfect horror movie to watch. From the endless sea of stuff on Netflix to the surprisingly robust offerings from free streaming sites like Tubi, it can all be a bit overwhelming. We're here to help by narrowing things down a bit by offering up some suggestions based on the works of Stephen King, one of history's all-time great horror virtuosos.

Dating back to 1976's "Carrie," there have been dozens of movies based on King's work over the years. Some of them have been great, some of them have been not-so-great, and more than a few of them have been outright terrible.

While the werewolf is one of the coolest creatures ever imagined, there seems to be a belief that there hasn’t been many good werewolf movies. So we here at Arrow in the Head decided to take a look back at the films that have been made over the decades and compile a list of the Best Werewolf Movies. Check out our picks below, and leave a comment letting us know what your favorite werewolf movies are!

Wolf (1994)

Wolf is generally not a highly regarded movie, which is kind of shocking when you take into account that it was directed by Mike Nichols, started off as an idea from Legends of the Fall writer Jim Harrison, and has a cast packed with Oscar winners and nominees. Well, it is rather dull for large stretches of its overly long 125 minute running time and there’s way too much about the lead...

During the 1980s and 1990s, Corey Haim and Corey Feldman gained widespread recognition in Hollywood, particularly for their collaborative efforts as a prominent duo. Referred to as "The Two Coreys," their off-screen camaraderie and on-screen rapport propelled them to become teenage heartthrobs, making them household names, particularly for their roles in The Lost Boys franchise. While both actors had successful individual careers during their youth, their joint projects contributed to their prominence in popular culture. Their involvement in a range of films, encompassing themes like vampires, body swaps, and teenage adventures, effectively showcased their ability to resonate with younger audiences.

Throughout their partnership, Haim and Feldman featured in multiple films together, with each endeavor aiming to leverage their substantial fan following and undeniable chemistry. While certain films attained cult status, others encountered challenges in gaining traction. Nonetheless, each film provides distinct insights into their talents, an evolving dynamic, and an...

What isn't to love about The Lost Boys? Between the smooth SoCal setting, the stylish, leather-clad vampires, and the absolute killer '80s soundtrack, this Joel Schumacher flick is easily one of the best movies about supernatural bloodsuckers to ever hit theaters. With a stellar cast that included Jason Patric, Kiefer Sutherland, Dianne Wiest, Jami Gertz, Corey Feldman, Corey Haim, Lost Boys was a box-office success though reviews were mixed. Nevertheless, it's not surprising that this picture landed cult classic status, though what is surprising (given the substantial return on investment) is that the movie never got a traditional sequel. Of course, that wasn't for Schumacher's lack of trying...

Quick Links Lucas Is an Overlooked Gem Winona Ryder Sparkles in Lucas Lucas Is a Haunting Time Capsule of Corey Haim's Great Potential

Like all great films about the stormy passage through adolescence and high school, the 1986 coming-of-age film Lucas inspires a strong sense of curiosity regarding how the films teenage characters turned out as adults, even as the stars of the film have been immortalized over time. Lucas features early starring performances from Corey Haim and Charlie Sheen, whose tumultuous lives make their touching performances in the movie seem heartbreaking in retrospect. It also marked the screen acting debuts of Jeremy Piven, Courtney Thorne-Smith, and especially Winona Ryder, whose assured performance in the film heralded Ryders emergence as one of the most exciting and interesting young actresses of her generation.

Haim, in one of the great teenage performances of the 1980s, plays the films title character, a smart...

Reality stars like Anna Nicole Smith, Ashley "Minnie" Ross, and Steve Irwin left fans heartbroken when they tragically passed away. Ashley Massaro's struggles before her passing and Corey Haim's battle with addiction make their deaths even more tragic. Nikki McKibbin, Jenni Rivera, Caleb Bankston, Christina Grimmie, and Ben Watkins all had untimely deaths that deeply impacted their fans.

Most reality show fans want to focus on things like MTV's most famous stars, the most celebrated couples, and the most memorable reality stars from the 2000s. Sadly, however, Survivor fans sometimes have to learn about the show's former stars who've passed away after previously being so full of life.

Of course, anytime someone passes away, it is sad. That is especially true when a person takes their final breath far too early in their life. Sadly for reality show fans, the truth is that far too many former...

The Lost Boys wasn’t just a massive box office success, it was also a game-changer in vampire media, making the undead hip again and convincing a whole generation that they too could become juvenile vampire hunters (though I know a lot of people who wouldn’t mind joining Kiefer Sutherland’s punk-rock group of dreamy Nosferatu).

And as is often in the case in Hollywood, the film’s near-instant popularity meant that the studio was immediately interested in a follow-up, with director Joel Schumacher even coming up with a pitch titled “The Lost Girls” meant to follow a different tribe of female vampires. Of course, we all know that this project never materialized, and fans were forever left to wonder about what a proper Lost Boys sequel might look like. Or were they?

What a lot of horror fans don’t realize is that we actually did get not...

"Vampires made colorful and cool." The Lost Boys changed the game early on. "Good guys and evil vampires dialogue." Quotes needed to be cool And dangerous. "Frog brothers comic-inspired quotes." Fiction meets reality in vampire hunting.

The Lost Boys quotes remain something that fans of the cult classic vampire movie still repeat to this day. This 80s hit made being undead not just scary, but also cool and sexy long before Twilight made the genre a young adult favorite. Directed by Joel Schumacher, The Lost Boys made vampire movies colorful and added a young adult slant to the entire genre. However, it wasn't just the bright color palette and the trendy music, but the dialogue from the good guys and the evil vampires that made everything seem cooler than dangerous.

The Lost Boys is about some young vampires living in Santa Carla, California. They set their sights on the new guy in town,...

In horror, there are a plethora of subgenres. You have your slashers, found footage, possessions, zombies, vampires, sharks, and the list goes on and on. One of the most underrated and underutilized subgenres is werewolf horror. There have been some great ones over the decades, like An American Werewolf in London, The Howling, and Dog Soldiers, and there have been some bad ones as well (stay away from any sequel to The Howling), but one of the best comes from the master of horror himself, Stephen King. Based on his 1983 novella, Cycle of the Werewolf, 1985's Silver Bullet is peak 80s creature feature horror. You have small town America, kids in peril led by Corey Haim's Marty, a heroic adult with Gary Busey as Marty's uncle, and some gnarly kills. Silver Bullet is right there as one of the best Stephen King adaptations and one of the best werewolf films ever made.

Clarence “Frogman” Henry, the New Orleans R&b singer whose 1956 hit “Ain’t Got No Home” showcased a vocal range that could soar to falsetto and plummet to the croak that provided his nickname, died Sunday. He was 87.

His death was announced by the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation on social media. No cause of death was disclosed, but Henry reportedly had been in declining health and recently underwent surgery.

The Heritage Foundation said the “beloved icon of New Orleans music” was surrounded by friends and family at his passing Sunday night.

“Frogman’s absence at the upcoming 2024 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival will be deeply felt, as he was scheduled to grace the stage on local’s Thursday with the New Orleans Classic Recording Revue,” the Foundation said. “Rest in peace, Frogman.”

The very catchy song that rocketed Henry to nationwide fame would eventually secure its place among the era’s novelty classics like “Love Potion No. 9” by the Clovers and “Alley Oop” by The Hollywood Argyles. The song would be used in various films and TV shows, notably Barry Levinson’s Diner (1982) and Martin Scorsese’s Casino (1995). A version recorded by The Band was used for a notable scene in Joel Schumacher’s The Lost Boys (1987), with Corey Haim singing along while taking a bubble bath.

Born in New Orleans on March 19, 1937, Henry began playing piano as a child, picking up trombone and playing both instruments in his high school band. He played with local groups during and after high school, and was overheard singing in the jokey croak style by a Chess Records exec who encouraged Henry to record the song. Catching the attention of New Orleans DJ Poppa Stoppa, who christened Henry “Frogman,” the song rose to number 3 on the national R&b chart and number 20 on the US pop chart.

Henry had a big follow-up hit in 1961 with “(I Don’t Know Why) But I Do” and, to a lesser extent, “You Always Hurt the One You Love,” both in 1961. He was chosen by The Beatles as an opening act for the band’s 1964 North American tour.

While national fame was fleeting, Henry would maintain decades of popularity in New Orleans and among fans of R&b and Cajun-style music. He retired from the club circuit in 1981 but long continued annual appearances at the Jazz & Heritage Festival.

Last month, it was announced that Patrick Wilson, who has starred in the likes of three Conjuring movies and three Insidious movies (one of which he directed), is producing a stage musical adaptation of Joel Schumacher’s 1987 vampire classic The Lost Boys (watch it Here). Now that project is taking a big step forward, as Deadline has learned that there’s going to be an industry presentation of the show next month, with Frozen‘s Caissie Levy, Dear Evan Hansen‘s Nathan Levy, and & Juliet‘s Lorna Courtney having been cast in major roles. This private presentation is scheduled to be held on February 23rd – and even though only industry insiders will get to watch it, that’s enough to inspire the people behind the show to release a teaser trailer for what they’re calling The Lost Boys: A New Musical. You can check it out at the bottom of this article.

The undead are raising their voices in a short teaser for the upcoming The Lost Boys, A New Musical, putting one final nail in the coffin for all the haters out there, and proving that it’s actually happening. The musical will be based on the 1987 film of the same name that featured performances from heartthrobs of the era such as Kiefer Sutherland, Jason Patric, Alex Winter, and, of course, Corey Haim and Corey Feldman. Even if musical makeovers aren’t your cup of tea, the production is in the incredibly capable hands of director Michael Arden (Once on This Island) with music and lyrics by the indie-rockers, The Rescues.

For the first time in almost 15 years, The Lost Boys are back in The Lost Boys: A New Musical, an official stage adaptation of the classic 1980s movie that’s headed our way soon.

Rewind back to the 1980s and watch the musical’s teaser trailer below!

The Lost Boys: A New Musical will be Directed by Michael Arden, featuring Music and Lyrics by The Rescues, Book by David Hornsby & Chris Hoch, Story by James Jeremias & Janice Fischer, and Produced by James Carpinello, Marcus Chait & Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring) by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures.

Joel Schumacher directed the original The Lost Boys movie in 1987, wherein two brothers move to a new town and discover that the area is a haven for vampires.

That movie introduced Corey Feldman, Corey Haim and Jamison Newlander as the vampire-slaying Frog Brothers, who later returned in two direct-to-video sequels.

Over the years,...

The Lost Boys, the previously announced, in-development stage musical adaptation of 1987 horror classic, has set an invitation-only industry presentation for next month, with Frozen‘s Caissie Levy, Dear Evan Hansen‘s Nathan Levy and & Juliet‘s Lorna Courtney in pivotal roles.

The private presentation in New York City will take place on February 23. A high-concept teaser trailer was released today, which includes a snippet of a haunting song with the repeated lyrics “when the secret comes out…” Watch it above.

The new musical, announced in December, will feature a book by David Hornsby (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia writer/EP) & Chris Hoch, music & lyrics by pop-rock band The Rescues. Tony winner Michael Arden (Parade), will direct.

Caissie Levy will play Lucy Emerson, the recently divorced mom who unwittingly moves herself and two sons to a vampire-infested California beach town. The younger son is Sam, to be played by Nathan Levy.

The mask and collectible makers at Trick or Treat Studios have given sneak previews of many of the new masks that will be part of their 2024 product line-up, including revivals of Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees masks from the ’80s and ’90s and masks of Kiefer Sutherland and Jason Patric’s characters David and Michael from Joel Schumacher’s 1987 vampire classic The Lost Boys (watch it Here)! An image of these masks can be seen at the bottom of this article.

Scripted by Janice Fischer, Jeffrey Boam, and James Jeremias, The Lost Boys has the following synopsis: Teenage brothers Michael and Sam move with their mother to a small town in northern California. While the younger Sam meets a pair of kindred spirits in geeky comic-book nerds Edward and Alan, the angst-ridden Michael soon falls for Star — who turns out to be in thrall to David, leader of a local gang of vampires.

The Lost Boys was released in an era before vampire movies were once again in vogue; while it wasn’t a huge box office hit, it did serve to reignite interest in the genre, paving the way for many of the vampire films that followed. The film, directed by Joel Schumacher, was highly acclaimed for its casting, as it assembled an all-star team of 1987’s top young talent, including Jason Patric, Corey Haim, Corey Feldman, Jami Gertz, Alex Winter, and Kiefer Sutherland. With the film now recognized as a cult classic, Speaking at a Steel City Con panel, Sutherland said he knew it was an interesting movie, but had no idea that it would have such staying power.

The Lost Boys is available on DVD, Blu-Ray, 4K, and most digital platforms.

Actor Patrick Wilson is on board to produce a stage musical version of 80s cult film The Lost Boys. More details here:

If all you’ve ever wanted was a musical about some very attractive vampires, you’re in luck. Joel Schumacher’s 1987 cult film The Lost Boys is heading to the stage, with added songs!

Aquaman star Patrick Wilson will be producing alongside James Carpinello and Marcus Chait, as reported by Deadline. Wilson took a stab at directing this year, helming the fourth Insidious sequel, Insidious: The Red Door. While also reprising his role as Josh Lambert in the long-running horror franchise, Wilson also teamed up with Ghost to deliver a cover of the song “Stay” which played over the end credits.

The original The Lost Boys, which also spawned two sequels, followed brothers who moved to a new town, just to find out it’s the prime spot for some vampires.

The Lost Boys is getting the musical treatment. The 1987 vampire-themed horror-comedy is being adapted for the stage by Parade’s Michael Arden, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s David Hornsby, and more.

Though no casting details nor production timeline have been made public, Deadline and other outlets have confirmed that work is underway, with Arden directing and Hornsby writing the book alongside Chris Hoch. Additionally, Ethan Popp (Tina: The Tina Turner Musical) will serve as Musical Supervisor, with the pop band The Rescues contributing original music.

The Lost Boys musical will be produced by three veteran actors: Patrick Wilson, James Carpinello, and Marcus Chait (Broadway productions of The Pirate Queen and Urban Cowboy). According to Deadline, the show will be “produced by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures.”

The original version of The Lost Boys made waves when it debuted, and has become a celebrated early entry in...

Patrick Wilson is no stranger to the horror genre, having starred in the likes of three Conjuring movies and three Insidious movies (one of which he directed), among other things – but I never would have predicted that his name would be attached to a stage musical adaptation of Joel Schumacher’s 1987 vampire classic The Lost Boys (watch it Here). Especially not as a producer. But producing a The Lost Boys stage musical is exactly what Wilson is doing, according to Deadline.

Wilson and fellow producers James Carpinello and Marcus Chait are teaming up with It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia writer/executive producer David Hornsby, Parade director Michael Arden, and the pop rock band The Rescues to make this stage musical happen, through a special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures. Hornsby will be writing the book with Broadway actor Chris Hoch, while The Rescues provide the music and Ethan Popp...

New small screen and big screen takes on 1980s classic The Lost Boys have failed to materialize in recent years, but Deadline reports that an official musical is now in the works.

Actors Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring, Insidious), James Carpinello (Midway) and Marcus Chait (Million Dollar Baby) are on board to produce The Lost Boys musical.

Deadline reports, “In addition to Michael Arden (Parade), The Lost Boys will feature a creative team that includes book writers David Hornsby (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) and Chris Hoch; and music by The Rescues, with Ethan Popp (Tina: The Tina Turner Musical) serving as Music Supervisor.”

The site also notes that the upcoming musical “will be produced by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures.” Stay tuned for more as we learn it.

We’ve all got that friend. The one who convinces us to push our boundaries or take that crazy risk, even though we have a hunch we’ll probably get hurt. They’re exciting, they’re cool, maybe even supportive, but they tend to lead us down the road to trouble, only to duck out when the consequences roll around. Film has a long history of these toxic troublemakers. Looking back, the Horror/Thriller genre was practically built on the backs of these smiling devils, who lure us in with their fun-loving wiles, then lead us off the side of a cliff.

Director William Oldroyd plays with this treacherous archetype in his adaptation of Ottessa Moshfegh’s 2015 novel Eileen. At first, Rebecca (Anne Hathaway) seems like a breath of fresh air to Eileen (Thomasin McKenzie). She’s the glamorous new educational director at a boys reformatory, who encourages Eileen to...

Along with The Mist and Dreamcatcher, Cycle of the Werewolf was one of my first introductions to Stephen King, so the Master of Horror's powerfully poignant prose in that novella—combined with the legendary Bernie Wrightson's amazing illustrations—will forever hold a special place in my horror-loving heart, and so too does its film adaptation: Dan Attias' Silver Bullet (which really captures the blood-soaked slice of small-town life in Tarker's Mills).

It's especially thrilling, then, that Scream Factory will be unleashing their Collector's Edition of Silver Bullet on 4K Uhd and Blu-ray just in time for the holiday season, and we have a look at the full list of bonus features fans can look forward to, including a new audio commentary with Eric Vespe and Scott Wampler of The Kingcast!

In horror movies, the survival of animals like dogs and cats can provide a more hopeful and satisfying tone amidst the terror. Films like The Lost Boys and Tucker & Dale vs. Evil showcase the bravery and loyalty of dogs, making them important and memorable characters. Despite the grim nature of horror movies, there are instances where animals, like Thor in Bad Moon and Sugar in Crawl, defy the threats and emerge unscathed, emphasizing the bond between humans and their pets.

A disturbing, yet common trend in the horror genre is that the presence of a furry companion often foreshadows impending doom. From the relentless terror of Cujo to the supernatural chills of the Stephen King book adaptation Pet Sematary, it is well-known that canines have suffered disproportionately high casualties in horror films. However, seeing the wagging tale of a dog, or hearing the purr of a relaxed cat after...

Burt Young, a former boxer who was in Sylvester Stallone’s corner as his brother-in-law Paulie in the six Rocky films and received a supporting actor Oscar nomination for his turn in the original, has died. He was 83.

He died on Oct. 8 in Los Angeles, his daughter, Anne Morea Steingieser, told The New York Times Wednesday.

A tough guy in real life who usually played tough guys onscreen, Young portrayed a rotten client of gumshoe Jack Nicholson’s in Chinatown (1974), was mobster “Bed Bug” Eddie in The Pope of Greenwich Village (1984) and played Rodney Dangerfield’s protector/chauffeur Lou in Back to School (1986).

Young also appeared in four movies in four straight years with fellow Queens guy James Caan — Cinderella Liberty (1973), The Gambler (1974), The Killer Elite (1975) and Harry and Walter Go to New York (1976) — before they worked together again in Mickey Blue Eyes (1999).

He played a getaway driver in Sam Peckinpah’s The Killer Elite,...

Burt Young, who played Paulie in six of the “Rocky” films starring Sylvester Stallone, drawing an Oscar nomination for supporting actor for his performance in the 1976 original, has died, his daughter Anne Morea Steingieser confirmed to the New York Times. He was 83.

Roger Ebert gave Young his props for his performance in the first “Rocky” film: “And Burt Young as (Adrian’s) brother — defeated and resentful, loyal and bitter, caring about people enough to hurt them just to draw attention to his grief.” The New York Times — in an absolutely scathing, completely dismissive review of the film — nevertheless said: “Burt Young is effective as Rocky’s best friend, a beer-guzzling mug.”

Young’s temperamental, jealous but nonetheless loyal and caring Paulie Pennino was Rocky’s best friend — he would defend the Italian Stallion if someone insulted him. But he was a problematic friend who shouts at Adrian during her pregnancy,...

The sunny seaside town of Santa Carla, made famous by The Lost Boys, is actually another California spot brought to life on screen. The film's iconic locations, such as West Cliff Drive, the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, and the Santa Cruz Wharf, can be visited by fans. Fans can also check out Atlantis Fantasy World, the real comic book shop featured in the film, and Grandpa's house at 333 Gold Club Drive.

The sunny seaside town of Santa Carla has become famous thanks to Joel Schumacher's The Lost Boys, but the famous film location was actually brought to life by another California spot. The coming-of-age horror classic follows a single mom and her two sons relocating to a new place and trying to adjust to life with the locals, unaware that the town hides a sinister secret connected to children and teens who have recently gone missing. Michael (Jason Patric...
