In 1987 the horror genre was dominated by the slasher fad of that decade. Zombies were mostly something seen only in Italian gorefests with the name Fulci attached. Ghosts and supernatural films were few and far between. Vampires ... well, vampires had been neutered and reduced to whiny flouncy boys by the likes of Anne Rice.

Anyone who has ever had to tango with a bite-happy denizen of the undead can easily confirm one thing ... killing vampires is serious business. And while our Frog Brothers will be doing their best keeping the bloodsuckers at bay on Blu-ray and DVD on October 12th from Warner Bros., they're going to need a hand. That's where YOU come in!

There's really no reason to assume that Lost Boys: The Thirst will be any good. Not after the debacle of The Tribe, anyway. But I was sold by the trailer that promises the return of the Frog Brothers, and if it can deliver on its promise of the further adventures of these vampire hunters, well, I'll be a satisfied customer.

While making the press rounds during the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con, Dread Central had the opportunity to catch up with two of the genre's most beloved vampire killers: Edgar and Allan Frog, otherwise known as Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander. Feldman and Newlander were in San Diego to support their newest Lost Boys film, The Thirst, and sat down with Dread Central to discuss what fans can expect from this latest installment.

I suppose I'm plagued with an eternal naïveté that makes me excited for films like Lost Boys: The Thirst. Like everyone else, I thought The Tribe was filth, but there's something about the third film's trailer that makes me think they got it right this time.

Like it or not Lost Boys 3: The Thirst is well under way and will be putting the bite on our DVD and Blu-ray players soon enough. A fresh crop of behind-the-scenes stills have popped up online offering your first look at stars Corey Feldman, Tanit Phoenix, and Jamison Newlander in character.

The synopsis for upcoming DTV sequel Lost Boys 3: The Thirst mentions Gwen Lieber, a wealthy vampire-romance novelist who hires Edgar Frog to rescue her son, and today we learned who would be playing said novelist: South African model and actress Tanit Phoenix.

Recall the stinker that was The Lost Boys: The Tribe (review here)? You remember -- the flick with the surfing vampires? (Again we ask: Why didn't the priest just bless the ocean?) No? You missed it? Do yourself a favor and keep it that way. Like it or not, Production Weekly has announced tonight that the next film in the franchise, now called Lost Boys 3: The Thirst, is just about ready to get under way from Warner Premiere.

Warner Premiere is hoping to rid your mind of the pain and suffering caused by Lost Boys: The Tribe (review) by delivering a third film in the franchise. One that will focus primarily on Feldman's character of Edgar Frog.
