Lost Boys

The Lost Boys is an American horror film about a family forced to fight a pack of teenage vampires in the fictional town of Santa Carla, California. The name is most likely borrowed from The Lost Boys found in the J.M. Barrie novel Peter Pan: there the lost boys are a group of children who have chosen to live in NeverNeverLand, and thus they never grow up. The same can be said for the titular teenage vampires.
