I was 13 when this came out, and I think I speak for a lot of Gen X ers when I say this was the vampire movie we were waiting for.

Fun Fact: The actor who played Michael, Jason Patric, is the real life son of Jason Miller who played Father Damien Karras in the Exorcist

Fright Night 1985 is another unique vampire film from the 80s.

80s movies are so good my childhood YALL GOTTA SEE THE GOONIES

Frog and Sam were played by Corey Haim and Corey Feldom who were affectionately referred to as "the two Coreys", in the 80s, they were in several films together, they were friends and worked well together, they even did a reality show called The Two Coreys when they were adults. The mom in this film Diane Wiest , often plays moms, she is also in a film called Parenthood, which is a very heartwarming and funny movie about family. It also co stars a very young Keanu Reeves and an even younger Joaquin Phoenix. For another 80s scary movie check out American Werewolf in London.

Classic. Doesn't take itself too seriously, but doesn't go overboard by being too campy. I actually got to spend a little time with the man who plays the Head Vampire, Mr. Edward Herrmann, and he was the absolute nicest man! He lived just down the beach from my sis and bro in law, and they knew him, so when we visited, we'd get to see him. Simply one of the nicest people I have ever met.

In the vampire world, when they make you see maggots or worms or whatever they want, it's called glamoring. I read a lot of vampire stories. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Never get tired of this classic! Saw it when it came out at age 17. One of the best times i had in the theater. Also Terminator 2

Cory Haim's wardrobe in this film is insane.

You guys need to check out FRIGHT NIGHT (1985) and NEAR DARK (1987), two more classic vamp flicks from the 80s.

This movie is timeless…iconic.

@21:15 "Oh, here's your stake." Almost spit my drink out. Pretty good for a first time watch. Fright Night is a good companion flick to this. Vampires - check. Camp - check. Another product of these times (not the remake).

I wanted to be a cool bada$$ vampire when I saw this 😆. Fun fact: keifer's tears were real after his character gets burned and he says "tonight" because the contact lenses irritated his eyes (not shown)

I think the Frog brother's hippy parents are the reall heroes here 😂😂

Ahh! So glad you guys liked it. Such a fun movie when I was a kid. Don’t sleep on great 80’s movies.

You have to see "American Werewolf in London" and "Fright Night" to complete your eighties teen horror cult classics lol. Great reaction .

At 26:20 when he started gagging, I was laughing so hard I got tears. Well done

Glad that you guys enjoyed this movie, it is a classic. I recommend either An American Werewolf in London or The Howling, if you want to go with werewolf movies next. There is also Near Dark which is a Vampire Western that came out around the same time as The Lost Boys, but whereas The Lost Boys had a fun, campy undertone to it, Near Dark is pretty Dark and a bit more grounded in reality. They do not even use the word vampire in the movie so it is interesting to compare and contrast it with the Lost Boys.

Such a fun film with terrific music. Also One of the vampires is played by Alex Winter who was Bill in the Bill and Ted movies.

Oh HECK YEAH!!!! I already know I’m going to love this!! Don’t know if you’ll read this Cam & Zay but since you’ve watched this one, you got to check out Fright Night from 1985. Another great 80s vampire classic.

The tagline: "Sleep All Day, Party All Night . Never Grow Old, Never Die. It's Fun To Be A Vampire."

This thing is a cult Classic, l've seen it so many times. And it never gets old, especially when I get to watch someone who has never seen it before. Great reaction guys.

Glad you guys liked this movie. You should try Fright Night (1985). As good as The Lost Boys is, in my humble opinion, Fright Night might be a bit better.

Great reaction guys you should checkout Fright Night and Buffy the movie

Did you recognize Jamie Gertz, the love interest, was in "Twister" and "Less Than Zero"? Also, one of the vampires (the first one to be killed) was Keanu's costar in ""Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure". His name is Alex Winter.

I recommend reacting to the original SALEM'S LOT -- a great Stephen King vampire story. 1979, I believe. It aired on television and scared the hell out of me and it still is a very good scare to this day.

Death by stereo was one of my favorite lines. It was awesome in the movie theater. I also love this movie’s soundtrack as an 80’s experience.

I'm glad you guys loved it. I saw this at a theater when I was in the Navy in 1987. It was amazing, exciting and loads of fun with a great soundtrack.

This movie is so much fun, with a great soundtrack. The two brothers are great. Love Inuk the dog. xx

Cult Classic material right there. I loved this back in the day when it came out , and it still holds up today. Guess that;s what makes a classic huh?! Great Halloween kick-starter.

Great soundtrack. “Cry Little Sister” was a big hit. Another fun flick from this era of Corey Feldman is “The ‘Burbs.” Btw, when the Apocalypse comes, Cam is doomed! 😂😂😂😂

I’m so happy y’all loved this! The Lost Boys was the very first horror movie I was allowed to watch at 13 & I’ve been in love with both this movie & horror ever since!

This movie was an intoxicating pop culture hit for teenagers in the late 80s, who loved the tagline 'Sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old. Never die. It's fun to be a vampire.' The whole idea of vampirism as a metaphor for being a moody, party hard teenager wasn't something that had really been explored before. Traditionally, vampires were portrayed as middle aged counts in capes, or adult women, in movies and TV, so to see these cool, leather wearing youths on motorbikes who teens wanted to be as cool as, was something new and fresh. I don't think we would've had Twilight without it, although maybe that's not something many people would be thankful for, lol.

This is a cult classic. I love watching younger generations discover this movie. I was 10 when it came out and watched it so many times since then. Still love it! Such fun reaction. Thank you! 😃

Fantastic reaction. Love when people dig this movie. You get it.

Glad you stumbled with a classic teen star duo from the 80's the two Corey's, (Haim RIP and Feldman) another really fun movie where the two star is License to Drive, granted not as good as Lost Boys, but still their personalities make more than half of the movie. Regards from México

SOOO glad you guys enjoyed it this, monster squad the goonies with my Neverending Story will NEVER get old for me no matter how old i get ❤

When Max said "I'm sorry... Lucy"...my jaw just dropped in the theatres... such a mic drop to call out a name from the actual source material(!). Kinda like if it was called Van Helsing's Comic Shop, lol. That was a fun watchalong with you two! I hope you try 1979's Dracula, even if just on yer own time. It's close to the novel and basically lays out all the 'rules' you'll ever need for the genre.

I was in 7th grade the summer this came out and honestly, for me, no other vampire movie has ever topped it. No surprise it can still connect with newer generations, it's just a great fun and exciting 80's movie with a perfect amount of 80's cheese sprinkled in. I'm not big on hardcore horror/gore so this kinda "family friendly" horror/drama/adventure was perfect for me as a teen and even still today. Your gagging was cracking me up though, and made me feel like less of a wuss, myself 😂 thanks Cam!

The movie is set in an imaginary Northern Califonia coastal town something like Santa Cruz, Watsonville or Monterrey. There's a lot of specialized farming in the area ---- and one of the main crops is garlic. You could easily buy a huge bag of fresh garlic, especially if you crossed the hills to Gilroy, the place where they hold a famous garlic festival.

It is a feast of eighties stars, not just Keifer Sutherland who was one of the Brat Pack of young actors dominating films aimed at the youth audience. You have Corey Feldman who was one of the Goonies and from Stand By Me (also with Sutherland), Corey Haim played Sam, he was a teen heart throb and worked a lot with his friend Feldman. Jason Patic and Jami Gertz as Michael and Starr were as you guessed in several films together. We even had Alex Winter soon to team up with a Keanu Reeves in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, and the three older actors were stalwarts of film and TV at the time.

The guy who played Michael played a Russian tanker in Afghanistan just a year or so after this movie ( The Beast ). Amazing acting range! Also as Erick Avari from The Mummy. One of the best war movies you’ll see.

Saw this at my friends house on VHS. Was blown away. One of the top vampire movies ever.

THIS is one of my favorite vampire movies of all time!

In real life the actor who played Michael had a very famous grandfather from yesteryear. His name was Jackie Gleeson and had a tv show in the fifties called The Honeymooners and was in Smoky and the Bandit with Burt Reynolds in the late 70's and was HIGHLY known.

They filmed this in Santa Cruz, California where I lived a lot of my life. And before this movie came out it was a little known area and then afterwards the popularity exploded. Just FYI, they named the town Santa Carla in it because of the reference to the murder capital of the world which in the 60's was true. Even my good friend in grade schools mother was murdered so S.C. did not want the stigma of that term in this

Now that you’ve watched Lost Boys with Dianne Wiest I suggest one of the funniest movies of the 80’s called Parenthood. It’s a comedy starring Steve Martin, Dianne Wiest, Keanu Reeves and Joaquin Phoenix. Its really funny and could be a nice change of pace. It’s not at all Halloween themed but it’s a good one.

One of Joel Schumacher's best. Falling Down is his greatest but The Lost Boys is number 2 for me.

Great movie from the Great 80'S, Very Well Done. And Cam & Zay's reactions was so priceless to see, I am so happy they liked it. When I just became a teenager in the early 70's, there was a made-for-tv vampire movie from 1972 called "The Night Stalker" A modern-day vampire goes on a nighttime biting spree in Las Vegas. The authorities don't seem to have a clue how these victims are being found dead with bite marks and a great loss of blood. Except for an aging reporter, a man named Karl Kolchak who has it all figured out and how he goes about solving the case. The movie is very suspenseful and well-acted, I remember it had the highest rating program that evening. I think Cam and Zay should check it out and judge for themselves to like or dislike the movie.

David: "You'll never grow old and you'll never die" five minutes later... three campy teenagers kill all of them without breaking a sweat

Such a classic movie. So good! it’s scary, funny and original. Lots of 80’s famous stars.

Happy you guys liked this movie, it's one of the best vampire movies of the 80s, and one of the best ever for that matter. Here are some other vampire movies you two have absolutely have to check out: "Fright Night" (1985) "Fright Night Part II" (1988) "Dracula" (1979) "30 Days of Night" (2007) "Interview With the Vampire" (1994) "Vampires" (1998) "Vamp" (1986) "The Hunger" (1983) "Life Force" (1985) These are all top notch vampire flicks.

Michael was played by Jason Patric, who is the son of Jason Miller ("Father Karras " from "The Exorcist "). Jason Patric 's grandfather was actor and stage entertainer Jackie Gleason "Ralph Kramden" from "The Honeymooners "

One of my fav films. I loved vampire lore when I was growing up. These are vampires - not the glitter vamps from Twighlight lol.

Every kid in the 80's watched this movie. We all essentially thought of this when we thought Vampires & we all wanted to be Vampire fighter kids!

Yes, I was in college when this came out and we loved it soooo much! Totally 80s style, music (The Doors was from the 60s but huge in the 80s, along with INXS, who were top of the world then), humor & action. The actors were so good and well known & liked. Everything was perfect. Such a cool combo of funny, scary, gory, adventure, family dynamics, romance etc. There's nothing really nothing like it anymore, except when shows like Stranger Things purposely emulate the 80s. Great reaction guys!

This is one of my favourite films, I watched this every day when I was a kid. I was too young to see it when it came out at the cinema but on the 30th anniversary I managed to see it on the big screen and it's soooo much better! One of the best movie soundtracks. Another great reaction 😊

This was the best reaction to this cult classic I’ve ever seen! It was my favorite movie when it came out! Thank you so much for taking me back! RIP Corey Haim!

That look from the Famiiy is like "What the fuck, you could have TOLD US about Vampires"! LOL

This movie was incredibly influential on the vampire genre. I'd also recommend Return of the Living Dead. It did for zombie films what this one did for vampires.

this was one of my favorite movies growing up. rented it a bunch of times on VHS. I was about the same age as ":the two Coreys". Also suggest 'Goonies' & 'Stand By Me' with Corey Feldman, 'Lucas' with Corey Haim and 'License to Drive' & 'Dream a Little Dream' with both of them.

This movie came out when I was ten years old. My older cousin Andrea, who was a bit of a rebel, snuck us out to see this even though she worried I'd be too young. I laughed the entire way through; the over-the-top gore just hit me as humorous (well, that and our family has a weird humor gene. My grandmother was horrified when she and Grandpa went to see Jaws in the theater and he roared with laughter every time someone got eaten, and my aunts used to go to Stephen King movies together and laugh the whole way through. We're weird that way.) Anyway, it's been one of my favorites ever since. I was a sucker for anything with 'the two Coreys' and this was the best of theirs. Cheesy but fun.

Classic…. My oldest daughter is 20 and scary movies never bothered her and this was her first scary movie she watched….. she was pretty little when her grandma showed it to her while they were camping at a lot they owned at a lake… came home and told me and I’m like omg did it scare her!!??? Nope not at all… for her 11th birthday we went saw Annabelle and she was not impressed….. at 11… lol I was the same way. But my youngest doesn’t do scary, she won’t even dress up scary for Halloween… funny how siblings are different like that.

Great reaction guys, yes spooky season is upon us!!! I love anything Vampire and this is definitely one I watch leading into Spooky season!! Can't wait to see what all you have planned

Great film and even better soundtrack. Great choice!

CCCRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY LITTLE SISTERRRRR!! This movie is just fricken' great. Remember fellow hunters, "truth, justice, & the American way. Also, Kiefer Sutherland is the MAN.

I'm so glad you both liked this movie. This is one of my fav movies when I was a teenager. ❤

Santa Cruz Ca, where this is filmed is pretty strange without the vampires. The UC Santa Cruz mascot is the fighting banana slugs. And they actually have free concerts on the beach every summer.

There was something I caught watching you guys react to this that I never caught before. I don't think anyway. He was supposed to be her first kill, but then the head vampire said it was to turn both brothers so she would join the family.

I was in high school when this came out. The soundtrack is awesome. Such a classic. Cam is funny heaving at the 2 scenes LOL

Great movie. Great cast. A lot of the actors did a lot of stuff. Star, I know was in Seinfeld and Twister. You've got Mouth from Goonies and The Burbs. In fact, him and Sam were in License to Drive, together as well. It goes on and on.

Gilroy California is where they grow a crap ton of garlic and that is an adjacent City to Santa Cruz California... the name of the actual City they filmed in. They just had to drive a couple miles to get that big-ass bag of garlic. 😂

My Favorite Vampire Movie & Amazing Soundtrack ❤

I haven't even begun watching yet, but know this will be fun! :-D

I would recommend An American Werewolf in London, its a fantastic take on the Werewolf genre with amazing practical effects, particularly the transformation. It is also packed with humour.

OMFG your gag reflex had me rolling.

So glad you liked this. I was completely obsessed with The Lost Boys when it came out. I still have the soundtrack and use it to put me to sleep. Also how fun is it to see Grandpa Gilmore as Max and Bill S. Preston as Marco. If you know you know.

I'm so happy you guys enjoyed it! I saw this in my preteens and I still watch it at least 1X a yr!

Loved this reaction from you guys. I'm an old school dude, so this movie is my favorite vampire movie of all time. Interview With A Vampire is a close second. That is a must watch. Sidenote: Cam really needs to tighten up his gag reflexes as you guys are getting into more horror movies 😄😄😄

Thanks, Cameron! Thanks, Isaiah! 🧛‍♀ I was 19 when this came out... very popular with my friends. #CamAndZay #JoelSchumacher #TheLostBoys #TheLostBoys1987

This movie was a big part of my childhood and very re-watchable! Must have seen it at least 30 times 😂

NEAR DARK is the OTHER 1987 vampire movie that kicks ass. I think they're 2 sides of the same coin.. different but similar.

Yes! The First movie with young and metal head vampires! 😅 I'm really happy you enjoyed it as much as I did when i was 14 back in the 80's. This movie was in heavy rotation on my tv.

Great reaction to one of my all time favorites. The director Joel Schumacher I got to interview in college and he actually helped me get started in film production so it has special meaning for me. My favorite thing is that it's such a well made and stylish horror picture and the casting for all the roles was perfect.

This was filmed in Santa Cruz Cali the same year my senior class came to Santa Cruz Boardwalk for senior cut Day. I remember hearing the stories of this getting filmed before it was even released . Going to see ur the night of it’s release In 87’ was awesome. I’ve been to Santa Cruz about 20times since then . Check it out sometime. Stay at the Dream inn right on the beach next to Boardwalk if you ever go.. 🌠

Sorry Cam but all the times you gagged at 26:20 made me laugh so hard 😂

I was 15 wgen this movie came out. I have a oster of Kiefer Sutherland dressed as David on my wall as weel as a signed picture of Corey Felsman that is from The Lost Boys. Still love tp movie to this day.

Killer has such screen presence in this...but then he always does🎩

Yay so glad you loved it! This is also my favorite vampire film, one of my favorite films in general. The 80s were the best, it brings me back to a better time, this was my late brother's favorite too it just puts a smile on my face when i watch it pure nostalgia

This was peak 80's. It was cult classic back then and yea everyone knew it was part campy. This gained a lot of word of mouth popularity.

I saw this at the theater when it came out. Wonderful movie. RIP Corey Haim and Edward Herman and Jack Albertson. I’m with everyone in the comments recommending Fright Night 1985. It’s a must watch. I actually liked the 2011 remake that had Colin Farrell and Anton Yelchin and David Tennant in it.

I just remembered the name. Gilroy is the garlic capital and when you drive into that town that is all you smell. So getting enough of it was no big deal

Yep, my wife and I love this movie, she's the horror person, me not so much. This came out when we were teens; no we didn't meet until our 30's..

Fun fact: the actress who played “ Starr “ Jamie Gertz is the richest actress in the world, even though she did not do a huge pile of movies. She is worth 8 billion dollars, a financial wizard she made huge lucrative investments.

Saw this in the theaters at 10. Changed me life, it did.

Just to answer Zay's question, Jason Patrick and Jami Gertz had worked together before, mainly on stage. I think he recommended her for the role because they did have a lot of chemistry. Joel Schumacher directed the film and apparently it was supposed to be more like 'Monster Squad' with young kids but he changed it so it was more teenagers/adults, so you're spot in with that.

In case you missed it from the ending yes grandpa is a half vampire himself. It was revealed in other source material that it was the widow that turned him so when Max was killed it did nothing for him. As long as he continued using animal blood till the events of the 3rd movie he'd be good.

So good watching you two react to this flick. Maybe Cam should start taking Dramamine before watching horror movies.

Did you know that Jason Patrick (Michael) is the son of Jason Miller (Father Damien Karras) from The Exorcist?

Fright night would be another good eighties vampire movie for you to watch.
