“Still an absolute banger” – Iconic 80s Horror Movie Dominates Max October Streaming Charts

One of the greatest vampire movies of all time is on the Max (formerly HBOMax) charts. This 80s horror comedy with a cast of hotties holds a special place in most of our hearts, so we love to see it continue to thrive. The Lost Boys is the movie everyone is revisiting this week. As a scholar of this thirst trap, it is my honor to refresh your memories on this cultural phenomenon

Rotten Tomatoes Synopsis

“Teenage brothers Michael (Jason Patric) and Sam (Corey Haim) move with their mother (Dianne Wiest) to a small town in northern California. While the younger Sam meets a pair of kindred spirits in geeky comic-book nerds Edward (Corey Feldman) and Alan (Jamison Newlander), the angst-ridden Michael soon falls for Star (Jami Gertz) — who turns out to be in thrall to David (Kiefer Sutherland), leader of a local gang of vampires. Sam and his new friends must save Michael and Star from the undead.”

Twitter and the rest of the world are still obsessed with this iconic piece of vampire cinema. Many fans are still celebrating actors, costumes, and the random saxophone player on the boardwalk.
