In this episode of Opening Kill, we sink our fangs into Joel Schumacher's cult classic The Lost Boys. We kick things off with our usual plot breakdown — teenage rebellion, vampire biker gangs, and Santa Carla's finest mullets. Then, we get into the gnarly details of the film's iconic kills and makeup effects (yes, those glowing contacts were just as painful as they looked).
We also shine a UV light on the behind-the-scenes chaos and cool facts: the original script's Goonies-style vibe, and the way this film helped redefine vampires for the MTV generation. Whether you're here for the blood, the brotherhood, or the Echo & the Bunnymen soundtrack, this episode is pure 80s horror gold.
