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.
The Coreys
Though Corey Haim and Corey Feldman co-starred in several films together, The Lost Boys was the only horror film the two ever made together. In it Corey Haim is Sam Emerson, a teenage boy who is losing his older brother Michael (played by Jason Patric) to a local tribe of young vampires. To help him regain his humanity, Sam enlisted the aid of The Frog brothers, one of whom is played by Corey Feldman.
