Directed by Joel Schumacher and starring Kiefer Sutherland, Jason Patric, Corey Haim, and Corey Feldman, The Lost Boys was released on July 31, 1987, and earned $32.2 million against an $8.5 million budget. The horror comedy currently sits at 75% on Rotten Tomatoes and boasts an 85% audience score out of 250,000+ ratings. The success of the film led to a pair of sequels and a series of comic books along with a rabid cult following.

“When their parents divorce, Michael (Jason Patric) and Sam Emerson (Corey Haim) move with their mother to their grandfather’s house in a California town nicknamed, ‘The Murder Capital of the World.’ Soon after arriving, Michael gets involved with a hell-raising motorcycle gang of vampires with a charismatic leader (Kiefer Sutherland),” says the synopsis. “When Sam becomes involved with the Frog Brothers (Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander), who confess to being undercover Vampire hunters, he realizes it’s up to them to save Michael and the rest of the town from the vampire gang.”
