The Lost Boys - A Trip Back To My Childhood

It was during a sleepover party in 1987, at Jaime Segura’s house, that I was introduced to what would become one of my favorite movies: The Lost Boys. I was 10 years old and was a fan of Nintendo, skateboarding, Def Leppard, and scary movies. I was a typical kid of the 80’s and I was damn proud of it. I often find myself, on a day like today, wishing I could go back to those times: summers that lasted forever, the way popsicles tasted so good, the sounds of awesome music, the WWF and Hulk Hogan, and some of the best movies ever made.

I found this video mashup of different scenes from The Lost Boys edited to the song, “Cry Little Sister” by G.Tom Mac. This definitely took me back

This is what makes the internet so awesome! I was able to relive a couple of these awesome childhood memories and escape from the b.s. of today via streaming video

I also understand that there is a second Lost Boys - The Tribe, coming out soon. I just don’t know if they will be able to pull it off without Jason Patric, Keifer Sutherland, and the rest of the original cast. Times change…people change…priorities change…I am glad to read that Corey Haim WILL be featured in the film. I was really let down when I read that he was not going to be featured in the film. I mean seriously, how could you make a second installment of The Lost Boys without both of the Coreys? Turns out that is not the case, and Haim - “Sam” will be present and accounted for in the film.

Here is the trailer for The Lost Boys 2 - The Tribe: Straight to DVD & Blu-Ray 7.29.08

Being a die-hard fan of the franchise, I owe it to myself to see what The Tribe is all about. Until then I will always have the original to fall back on, when I need to escape back to those lost days as a kid of the 80’s. It has been over 21 years since the first movie came out! Damn, I’m getting old. To hell with getting old, it’s all about your frame of mind. I gotta get back to my time machine and listen to this kick ass song one more time…care to join me? I promise I won’t “VAMP OUT” on you.
