His brother figures out how to help with the help of Corey Feldman. There is also a guy who plays the saxophone. @lenanazarei joins us to talk about the definitive vampire movie of the 80’s!

Kelly Jo Minter from Nightmare 5 is in this movie. She works at Max's video store, though she only appears for a second in the final movie.
One of the best movies ever
My church as a kid had stands full of holy water at the entrance you could easily take a lot. Also Eye for and Eye was HORRIFIC!!!! Great movie
I had so much fun doing this. Thank you, Tony & Casey!!! <3
oooohhhh casey ganggg
I'm honestly shocked y'all didn't do this sooner!
Yay casey!
I love the Saxophone Guy 🎷 there's a comic spin off of The Lost Boys continuing the story and apparently the Saxophone Guy is a Vampire Hunter and him and the Grandpa are in a Vampire Hunter Group in Santa Carla and the Frog Bros. are trained by the Grandpa.. ooooh and David's still alive because technically he wasn't staked by wood or silver 😅
Every time I watch the dinner scene with the garlic, I get a craving for spaghetti with marinara.
Also, I always thought the "Twisted Sister" one looked like Steven Adler from GnR.
Edit: The scene at the end when grandpa drives the jeep into the house…I always just figured he was sloshed and thats why it happened.
DC comics did a lost boys mini series a few years ago and the sax guy is also in it. Check it out Tony
i was 7 when Lost Boys was in theaters back then in 1987 but a couple of months later on it came on HBO where me and my sisters would watch it alot over and over on an old VHS blank recorfding tape. then 15 years ago when Best Buy had movies for DVD thats where I bought the 2 disc special edition DVD for Lost Boys for my birthday
Tim Cappello has also done sax work for the group Gunship. Dark All Day is their homage to vampire films and TV with a focus on David and the Frog Brothers in the animated music video. The direct-to-video sequels are OK, the third one I feel is better than the second. The second (The Thirst) tried to set-up a continuance, but Corey Haim died not too long after. There is a comic book sequel which reveals that Grandpa is a vampire as well, his root beers are blood and The Widow Johnson is who turned him. It was a decent read as well. The third (The Tribe) which sort of continues the story from the first two with some small changes to account for Corey Haim passing away, actively moves to also include other paranormal aspects and introduces the concept of werewolves to the universe.
One of my favorite movies in general, so entertaining and I can rewatch it a few times a year.
Lena was such a great guest. Please have her often
A overweight version of the Sax guy is in the opening of 2
FUN FACT: Jami Gertz is the richest actor in the world, with a net worth of $8 billion. She co-owns sports teams. 🙂
Blond chick sounds normal here. No helium voice.
Lena with the Yep Yep Yep 😍 Hubba Hubba

I always assumed that because Sam lied about the date, Grandpa dropped in on the widow Johnson and discovered she was a vampire (she probably killed her husband) and was returning home from having just killed her, hence the closing line. 🙂
Ok I have to share,when this came out on video we tried to rent it for like 3 weeks it was always out. So one Friday night my dad comes out and is like "sorry girls I had to rent Karate Kid part 2 again", we go to open the tape….it was The Lost Boys!!! I remember we watched it twice that night!!!!!
I wanted to be a frog brother so bad when I seen this movie in the 80s
Fright Night has entered the chat. I would say mainstream / hollywood vampire move for The Lost Boys.
Rest in Peace Jan Fischer, she wrote the original screenplay and I acted with her in murder mysteries. She was shacked up with Robert Englund for a while. I will never forget she told me "One day you're going to the best Hollywood parties, the next day you're sucking cheesy dicks under an underpass for money"
Patrick and Gertz were also in Solar Babies together
Tim Capello was the saxophonist for Tina Turner.
One of my favorites
Another one of Tony's grandpa's "Hey, check this out" films, my grandpa was the same way. XD He had like a massive VHS collection (And later DVD) that he'd let me and my cousins borrow tapes everytime we came over, even had to sign 'em out in a book. Oddly, he didn't have this one. I still have some of his tapes in my collection.
Also, OILED UP SAX PLAYER! XD
Batman vs Dracula was awesome
bro! eye for an eye is so fucked up….. i think its forgotten because that murder scene is so brutal and fucked up.
I get the love of this movie i do like it but i wish near dark got more love it's my favourite vampire movie of the 80s
Lost boys sucks. Except for the family. Plus the Frog Brothers. And the twist that who turns who turns out to be the vampire.
Sorry, I wish it was a vampire.
I totally didn't catch that. Alan Frogg says "but you passed the test?" Then Max responds with "don't ever invite a vampire into your house, you silly boy. They render you powerless". Then i think that Sam asked "did you know that?". Then Edgar responds with "of course. Everyone knows that". Btw, someone left the cave scene too early to talk about Michael bringing Star upstairs. Therefore, missing one of the best lines: "burn rubber does not mean warp speed". Also, there's "we don't ride with vampires. Fine, then stay here. Okay, we do now". I'm guessing Laddie wasn't giving much to do since he was a little kid. I do see any conflict with Sam. Corey Haim was fifteen when the movie was filmed. So, Sam was probably fourteen. Seeing his brother flying and yelling probably traumatized him. Yes, i agree that there should be a prequel with the grandpa. Too bad both Joel and Richard are dead. I totally didn't get until my recent watch a year or so ago that the grandpa knew. I thought that he was just being quirky. I, too, dislike Feldman. I watch a Podcast on YouTube called Hey, Dude The '80s Called. Feldman went on there, and was a total tool. Also, since they were in a new town, Lucy didn't want Sam getting into trouble. Michael does say on the phone that Sam didn't need a babysitter, and that he was old enough to take care of himself. Although, Sam freaking out on the phone disproved that. Also, I'm guessing that Sam taking a bath made it more believable that he would hear Nanook attack Michael. Interesting that you guys mentioned Near Dark. Jason Miller's brother Joshua was in that movie. Their dad Jason Miller was in The Exorcist. To me, the vampire makeup in this movie reminds me of Ragan's makeup in The Exorcist
Tim capello is a legend
If you were not four years old Tony you would be able to appreciate and understand the significance of this film. What I like most about the film is how it works on two levels. I was eight years old in 87 but I saw it on video so maybe I was nine. I watched at a friends house with his 16 year old sister and a group of her friends that were having a bit of a gathering. The Corey Haim/Frog brothers stuff made it great to watch for pre-teen kids ( not sure about four year olds…. ) and the stuff with the teens made it also appeal to teens. No movie does this better. And few if any modern films bother trying to appeal to kids at all – everything is made for you adult nerds nowadays. Exclusively. You guys ruined the world. Especially for kids.
One of my favorite movies.
To this day I find reasons to refer to people as looking like Twisted Sister.
Tim Capello is the sexy senior citizen sax guy in the "Gunship: dark all day" music videos there's the regular music video that's 3/4 anime and a quarter live action with the lost boys and blade at a concert that's being attracted by vampires… its fuckin epic, and the "power glove remix" that's the full live action video… lots and lots of blood and vampires😁… awesome fuckin tune as well!
I was absolutly hooked on the sequels around 2010 when they were coming out Corey Feldman is so over the top he's actually hilarious in the 2 sequels, and the 3rd one has a twist that's a shame they didn't do one more with that plot!
Wait until Tony finds out there's an official comic mini series sequel where the Sax man returns, revealing himself to be a be a vampire hunter. He's glistening, not from baby oil … But from Holy water.
My neighbor named her daughter Star back in the 90s, though I don't think the movie was the primary inspiration, more of an added bonus.
And they didn't only make 4 copies, there were only 4 known in existence.
