It's already been ten years since we lost Corey Haim, and fans are celebrating the late actor's memory on social media on what would have been his 49th birthday. Breaking out as a young actor in the 1980s, Haim is well known for his frequent collaborations with Corey Feldman, with the two appearing together in a variety of projects. Haim died of pneumonia in 2010, and over a decade later, fans all across the world along with those who knew Corey are continuing to pay tribute to his legacy.

Welcome to Part 2 of TV Fanatic's exclusive feature interview with former child actor Scott Schwartz regarding first-hand knowledge of Corey Feldman's "friendship" with Corey Haim, the alleged "Hollywood industry pedophilia ring," Charlie Sheen, and much more.
If you haven't read Part 1 yet, catch up here.
Just to note, we have received a response from Corey Feldman and have an exclusive quote to present, which will come at the end of this series of interviews.
We also have inquired with Mr. Feldman about possibly granting a follow-up interview. More information on that, as it comes.
Regarding Scott Schwartz and Feldman's allegations against Charlie Sheen that we explored in Part 1: Scott has been close with Corey Haim's mother, Judy, for several decades -- ever since he and Haim met on set and became good friends.
Schwartz is sure "if something would have happened between Haim and Sheen, [Corey Haim] would have told his mother.

Former child actor, Scott Schwartz, played the kid who got his tongue stuck against the flagpole in A Christmas Story (1983). Before that, he starred with Richard Prior in The Toy (1982).
He comes to us now with much frustration over the way one Corey Feldman has marred the memory of his close friend Corey Haim (1971-2010), another former child actor who starred with Feldman in many projects.
This is the first of a series of articles documenting our conversation in which Schwartz wants to be very clear about his first-hand knowledge that the two Coreys were not friends in real life.
Feldman is currently promoting his new documentary (My) Truth: The Rape of Two Coreys, in which he claims to name names of those involved in a Hollywood industry pedophilia ring.

Corey Feldman and Corey Haim remain linked over a decade after Haim’s death in 2010.
In Feldman’s new documentary (My) Truth: The Rape of Two Coreys, which premiered in Los Angeles on Monday, the actor, 48, alleges that his friend told him that Charlie Sheen raped Haim on set of the 1986 film Lucas. At the time Sheen was 19 and Haim was 13.
According to Entertainment Weekly, several others featured in the documentary claimed that Haim had also told them of the alleged sexual abuse, including Feldman’s ex-wife Susannah Sprague, with whom he shares son Zen, 15.
“These sick, twisted and outlandish allegations never occurred.

Fifteen minutes into Monday night’s premiere of Corey Feldman’s long-awaited documentary, (My) Truth: The Rape of 2 Coreys, the 48-year-old former child actor suddenly came sprinting down the aisle of the theater where the screening was being held. Flanked by four security guards, Feldman asked for the house lights to be turned on, and grabbed a microphone to address the crowd. There was a problem.

Today is the day that could potentially change the entertainment industry as we know it. At 8pm Pst tonight, Corey Feldman will finally be premiering his provocative and revealing new documentary (My) Truth: The Rape of 2 Coreys to audiences around the world in an unprecedented streaming event. Corey Feldman is going to pull back the curtain on everything that happened to him and Corey Haim in Hollywood, and this includes announcing several names of sexual predators that both Coreys encountered throughout their careers.
Some were skeptical when Corey Feldman first announced that the documentary was completed, and that he'd finally be telling the world the person responsible for raping Corey Haim at a very young age while the actor was shooting the teen classic Lucas back in 1985. Now, many major news outlets are supporting Feldman and his voice. While the actor is holding a big premiere at a secret location somewhere in California tonight,...

Corey Feldman has seen and done it all. A former child star who appeared in more than 100 commercials, Feldman got his big break when he was cast in the mid-1980s hits Stand by Me and Goonies, then became a tabloid staple due to his hard-partying ways and close friendship with fellow child actor Corey Haim. After a few stints on reality television, such as the ill-fated 2007 venture with Haim, The Two Coreys, Feldman has positioned himself as an advocate for child stars past and present, speaking openly about his...

Something you should know about me for this month’s installment of Catalog From the Beyond is that as a kid, I was a huge fan of The Two Coreys. I could not get enough from Coreys Feldman or Haim, and of course much of this love springs from The Lost Boys, a pivotal movie in many of our collective horror educations. But I loved anything the Coreys put out, either together or on their own. And while everyone knows about Feldman’s hot streak of ’80s staples, I don’t think Haim gets nearly enough credit for his own contributions. He brought an earnest charm in early work like Silver Bullet and Lucas that later gave way to a mischievous streak in movies such as License to Drive and Dream a Little Dream. We get a dash of both personas in this month’s featured flick, the 1988 monster movie Watchers.

Corey Feldman has not given up his crusade to expose the Hollywood Pedophile Ring that he claims has consumed the entertainment industry over the past several decades. While he's faced much scrutiny over his asking price of $10 million for a self-produced and distributed movie that will offer a detailed look into these accusations, he has released a second Truth campaign video where he declares that it's 'Not about the Money', before breaking down his newly updated strategy to keep things afloat.
The actor looks road weary at this point, and you can't blame him. He's done a lot of TV interviews and other press trying to get his story out while people are interested in the sexually deviant side of Hollywood. Sadly, no one in Hollywood has stepped up to the plate to help the actor, who claims he's long been black listed. It's surprising at this point that Steven Spielberg,...

It's been quite the week for anybody following Corey Feldman's Truth Campaign as well as the outside story of Charlie Sheen being accused of sexually assaulting Corey Haim in 1986 on the set of Lucas. The National Enquirer ran a story earlier this week accusing Sheen of raping Haim when he was just 13-years old, which the actor categorically denied through a statement released by a representative. The man behind the allegations is Dominick Brascia, who claims that Corey Haim told him about the incident before he passed away in 2010 at the age of 38. But now, the story has been flipped after Haim's mother appeared on the Doctor Oz show.
Judy Haim sides with Charlie Sheen and denies that he abused her son. As she doesn't know for certain, she explains to Doctor Oz that she would have known as Corey Haim was a "transparent" child and she would have noticed the differences right away.

Corey Haim‘s mother has named the man she alleges sexually abused her late son.
During an appearance on The Dr. Oz Show on Friday, Judy Haim addressed a recent National Enquirer report in which former actor Dominick Brascia, who was close with Haim, alleged that a 19-year-old Charlie Sheen sexually assaulted a 13-year-old Haim on set of the 1986 film Lucas.
A spokesperson for Sheen previously told People the actor “absolutely denies the claim,” and on Friday, Judy alleged that it wasn’t Sheen who sexually abused her son, but rather Brascia himself.

Corey Haim's mother, Judy Haim (which according to Corey Feldman, hasn't been her real last name in years), appears on today's episode of Doctor Oz, where she denies the Charlie Sheen accusations that he raped her son at the age of 13 on the set of Lucas, instead claiming that there is another man. The clip for the upcoming show bleeps out the name, but a quick search through the official Corey Haim website brings us to an interesting update that is believed to be from September 27th, 2016, which not only names the man in question, but also sheds light on current events. In fact, many are speculating that the official Corey Haim website recently posted the "update" and backdated it to form a false narrative and throw the public and police off of current allegations surrounding Charlie Sheen.
The Doctor Oz clip features Judy Haim denying the Charlie Sheen accusations and naming another man.

And so it begins. Corey Feldman is already being discredited in the press for his recent announcement that he plans to expose a huge pedophile ring in Hollywood. The actor himself said this would happen. Though, it's unlikely that he expected the first source of outcry. It is Corey Haim's mother who has denounced Feldman's claims in a scathing new interview. She calls the former 80s teen idol and current touring musician a scam artist. And she claims that his knowledge of a Hollywood pedophile ring are bogus.
Corey Haim's mother Judy, and Corey Feldman, have been feuding for a long time. Judy was displeased with Feldman's 2013 biography Coreyography, claiming that he discredits Corey Haim's legacy, and has brought shame to the Haim family. Feldman long ago agreed to never discuss Corey Haim or their shared sexual abuse stories to the press in recent years and he's...

Corey Feldman is best known as the adorable childhood star from ‘The Lost Boys’ and ‘The Goonies,’ but in a new book he reveals that what appeared to be a carefree life, was actually a scary and abusive childhood. He even says that his safest moments were those with his close friend, Michael Jackson.
Corey Feldman‘s new memoir, Coreyography, exposes the horrors of his tortured childhood in Hollywood. Now 42, the famed actor writes that he met The Lost Boys costar, then 14-year-old, Corey Haim and they both realized they had a deeply damaging history with abusive older men.

With the reports that he recently completed a stint in rehab for cocaine, Zac Efron’s getting more buzz (oops) than any of his recent movie roles. That’s not to suggest he fell into a dangerous drug habit on purpose, mind you. But we have noticed cocaine has played a role in the lives of quite a few actors who got an early start in Hollywood — and it wasn’t necessarily to their benefit. If the rumors of the High School Musical star (whose upcoming movies include Parkland and Neighbors) trashing hotel rooms and missing shoots are true, we’re pretty glad he got help. Here are some other former teen/child stars whose cocaine use got in the way of us taking their adult careers seriously:

The Lost Boys franchise is a strange one. A cult hit from 1987, it was supposed to get a proper sequel two years after its release, which would have revolved around The Lost Girls. That never came to fruition. But the film, which was notable for bringing together two of that eras biggest teen stars, The Two Coreys, the late Corey Haim and Corey Feldman, continued to have a solid shelf life throughout the years.
In 2008, Warner Premiere, the home video division of Warner Bros., notable for turning some of the studios past hits into straight-to-dvd franchise, decided to revive The Lost Boys with Lost Boys: The Tribe, a film the fans didn't really want. It was more of a reboot than a true sequel, and it was quite disappointing. Except for the inclusion of its one returning star, Corey Feldman, who reprised his role as Edgar Frog, one half of the Frog Brothers,...

When the Academy forgot (or intentionally excluded) Corey Haim in the Oscars' "In Memoriam" reel, we at NextMovie were appalled. The guy was Sam in "The Lost Boys!"
As a boy, Haim stole the spotlight in movies like "Lost Boys," "Lucas" and "Watchers." As a man, he battled drug addiction until his death about a year ago. And now, to be snubbed posthumously is a sad coda to those rough final years.
Thankfully, the good hearts at Moviefone took on the responsibility -- Academy be damned. Below is a package they created that gives Haim the tribute he deserves.
Included are snippets from the actor's beloved films, along with some narration by Corey Feldman, Haim's co-star/hetero lifemate. The two also had a short-lived reality television show, "The Two Coreys."
Cheers to Moviefone. Let's pour one out for Mr. Haim.

Chicago – Corey Feldman is a survivor, both of his own child acting era and the aftermath of growing up. Best known for a string of 1980s cult favorites, including “Stand by Me” and “The Goonies,” he also partnered with Corey Haim, to forever be known as The Two Coreys. Feldman was in Chicago in January to introduce his films at The Hollywood Palms Theater (Naperville, Illinois) and Hollywood Blvd Theater (Woodridge).
Corey Feldman was born in Los Angeles in 1971, and began his acting career at the age of three in a McDonald’s commercial. After appearances in over 100 commercials and 50 TV guest roles, he broke out in the 1980s and starred in 15 number one box office champs in a row. These films included “Gremlins” (1984), “The Goonies” (1985), “Stand by Me” (1986) and “The Lost Boys” (1987). It was in The Lost Boys that Feldman was first paired with Corey Haim, and the two...

Its not the biggest omission made by Oscar Producers in recent years, but on last night's 83rd Annual Academy Awards telecast, former teen actor Corey Haim was excluded from the In Memoriam segment which remembers those actors and filmmakers who have passed away in the last year.
Farrah Fawcett was left out of the 2010 In Memoriam segment, and George Carlin failed to make the cut in 2009. When Heath Ledger died in January of 2008, show producers made sure to include the beloved actor, but Brad Renfro, who died just a few days after Heath was snubbed due to "time constraints".
Those behind putting together the In Memoriam segment for last night's show have not chimed in on why Corey Haim was left out of the reel. He was an accomplished actor at a young age, with starring roles in the hit films Lucas and The Lost Boys. Corey Haim died in March of 2010 from pneumonia.

When Heath Ledger died in January of 2008, show producers made sure to include the beloved actor, but Brad Renfro, who died just a few days after Heath was snubbed due to "time constraints".

This is the side of Corey Haim the public didn't know.
The late actor -- he passed away in March 2010 -- was known as much for his persistent drug addiction as his gigantic teenage stardom in the 80's. He made very public his issues in his reality series "The Two Coreys" (filmed with friend Corey Feldman), and when he ended up dying of pneumonia, outside speculation about drugs causing his death sprung up, especially given an order for prescription pills he had placed shortly before passing.
Haim's mother, Judy Haim, appeared on "Good Morning America" on Wednesday to clear up those allegations and remember the son that no one else knew.
After recalling a story about Corey feeling sick during a game of frisbee and running a fever for the entire day before his death, Judy said:

We can finally forget about The Tribe. Lost Boys: The Thirst is what a follow up to The Lost Boys should be. That’s not saying it’s anywhere near the level of the 1987 Joel Schumacher classic. Far from it. But when news broke that sequels to The Lost Boys were going straight to DVD, a drop in quality was a forgone conclusion. Our only hope was that the films tied into the original, paid respectful homage to it and included a bunch of dumb fun. Lost Boys: The Tribe didn’t. The Thirst, on the other hand, does and there by cleanses the palate of its awful predecessor. It’s not a “good movie” but it’s fun and Lost Boys fans can breath a sigh of relief that this third film attempts, and mostly succeeds, to do right by them.

Believe it or not, "Beverly Hills, 90210" fans, but your prayers have been answered — Jason Priestley and Luke Perry are reuniting for an all-new project.
The erstwhile Brandon Walsh and Dylan McKay are collaborating on "Goodnight For Justice," a Hallmark Movie Channel film produced by Perry and directed by Priestley. Deadline reports that "Goodnight" is a Western starring Perry as John Goodnight, a circuit judge seeking vengeance on the man who killed his family. It's unclear at this time whether or not Priestley will appear in front of the camera, but the very idea of these former "Beverly Hills" rivals turned pals getting back together is pretty excellent nonetheless.
It's so excellent, in fact, that we're left wondering about some other possible ways that Priestley and Perry could team up in the future. After the jump, check out our ideas.

The Two Coreys wasn't the end of Corey Haim's foray into reality television. The late actor had actually tried to develop Lost Boy Found, a series that would chronicle his struggle to stay clean while pursuing a career in music. TV producer Jim Katz tells us that he and Haim teamed up about a year ago on the project... "This project wasn't about exploiting him or showing him stoned," Katz told us earlier today. "This was about his decision to clean himself up." Haim had been hoping to one day go on the road with musician Gerard "G Tom Mac" McMahon, an old pal of his who worked on some of the music for The Lost...

Tragic actor Corey Haim's ex-girlfriend Nicole Eggert has launched a one-woman crusade to track down the pervert who ruined the "Lost Boys" star's life by molesting him when he was a teenager. The former "Baywatch" babe has revealed she was dating Haim around the time of the sex acts her late ex alluded to in interviews and during a heated discussion with pal Corey Feldman on an episode of their reality TV show "The Two Coreys".
Eggert insists she has no idea what was going on at the time, but now she's sickened by the thought of what was going on behind closed doors in the house where she used to hang out with Haim and Feldman - and she's determined to track down the sick guy who sexually abused her ex, sending him into a tailspin of substance abuse, which eventually claimed his life on Wednesday, March 10.

But at the end of the day, Larry, where were all these people the last 10 years, the last 15 years of Corey’s life?

Eggert Launches Campaign To Track Down Haim Molester
Tragic actor Corey Haim's ex-girlfriend Nicole Eggert has launched a one-woman crusade to track down the pervert who ruined the Lost Boys star's life by molesting him when he was a teenager.
The former Baywatch babe has revealed she was dating Haim around the time of the sex acts her late ex alluded to in interviews and during a heated discussion with pal Corey Feldman on an episode of their reality TV show The Two Coreys.

Haim died from a suspected overdose at his mother's apartment in Los Angeles.
In a candid interview with U.S. news show Access Hollywood, the actress says, "I know who they're talking about and that guy is still walking around.
"I hope he's having a horrible life... I was there with them, I was friends with them at this time. I have been in the place where this was happening... He just preyed on the boys... It's disgusting.
"I'll kinda do a little research and remember his name and see if he's still around and if he's registered (as a sex offender). That guy is dirt. I walked away and forgot that person a long time ago but, if he is here, he should be stopped."...

Impish, irrepressible Canadian actor whose star reached its zenith with The Lost Boys
If the Artful Dodger had smartened himself up, dyed his hair, worn snazzy jackets with the sleeves rolled up, and sought an alternative career as a Jackie or My Guy cover star, he would have resembled Corey Haim at the peak of his career.
The Canadian actor, who has died unexpectedly aged 38, did not spend more than a few years in the limelight. Yet it was his chirpy, irrepressible personality, as much as the occasional high-profile film role between the mid-1980s and early 90s, that earned him the affectionate regard of mainstream audiences. Out of a meagre selection of movies, many of which went straight to video or DVD, it was the 1987 vampire romp The Lost Boys which earned him his teenybopper fanbase. The lopsided smile, impish eyes and jauntily spiked hair made him perfect pin-up fodder.

Corey Feldman appeared on Larry King Live Wednesday to discuss the passing of Corey Haim. The two points he wanted to address after the jump. 1.) People shouldn't speculate on the cause of death. "Until the coroner's report comes out, until we have specific evidence, until we know exactly what the toxicology reports say, nobody knows, and nobody is going to know," Feldman said. "We all are aware of the fact that Corey Haim has had a long and detailed drug history and battled addiction for many, many years. I know it better than anybody, because I've been the guy stuffing...

Before Buffy ever picked up her first stake, before Sookie realized she couldn't read Bill's mind, before Bella ... did whatever it is she does ... there was Sam Emerson, who had to deal with his brother's slow transformation into a vampire. Sam was played, of course, by Corey Haim, who was a teen heartthrob in the '80s alongside fellow Corey, Corey Feldman. (The two even starred in a reality show together a few years back titled, naturally, The Two Coreys.) As with many child stars, the transition to adulthood was difficult to bear, and Corey Haim stopped landing lead roles in films.
