The Lost Boys (1987)

The Frog Brothers

The Lost Boys opens with brothers Michael and Sam who are traveling with their mother Lucy to Santa Carla, the self-proclaimed murder capital of the world. The centre of Santa Carla is the carnivalesque Boardwalk littered with trendy 80s kids with trendy 80s hair – it is also riddled with gang activity and unexplained disappearances. It is not until Sam (Corey Haim) visits a local comic store that we are first introduced to the real heroes of our tale, Edgar and Alan Frog (Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander). The Frog Brothers are simple comic store clerks by day but vicious vampire hunters by night. Sam enlists the help of the two experts as he goes on a quest to rid the town and more importantly his newly turned brother Michael (Jason Patric) of the vicious vampire element.

They did such a great job of ridding the city of the undead that there were a couple of horrible spinoffs made but we can’t hold that against the boys as Feldman got addicted to heroine after legally emancipating himself at around age 13 and being molested by Michael Jackson.
