The Lost Boys (1987) Filming Locations w/ Alex Winter - Horror's Hallowed Grounds - Then and Now

It's FINALLY here! This was technically 15 years in the making. There is a whole story about why it took so long and it's explained in the video. The last 20 minutes of this video is basically an interview with Alex Winter at one of the locations and it's AWESOME! He tells stories I've never heard before and I'm very grateful he took the time to join me at one of the locations from the film. I hope you all enjoy it!

I love how this was different compared to every other lost boys filming location. The fact that you got alex winter to do some of the locations with you makes it even better. Great job Sean

[@malfuncsean]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@sovietonion72]

​@malfuncsean I still believe do do do 😅

[@Glock181]

Born and raised in Santa Cruz, I grew up on this movie! My Uncle is actually in the background when they're riding down the steps on their bikes, he's in the blue jacket lol. Top notch as always man! This made my day! *cheers*

[@malfuncsean]

That’s awesome.

[@Michael-bl4no]

Nice job Sean. How’s the Pillar of Souls treating you?

[@malfuncsean]

@@Michael-bl4no Better than Prop Store is.

[@supersixx1]

now i have to watch it and find your uncle

[@Glock181]

He's on the right, with dark hair, a light blue jacket, and white pants. He's kinda hard to make out, but it's him.@@supersixx1

[@thewickednetwork7667]

Alex, winter is a real vampire. He doesn’t aged a single day. He seems like a very down to earth guy.

[@lalalevej2478]

Alex Winter has something I like to call the Macchio Gene. You can tell who was born with it by the fact that they look like geriatric teenagers.

[@jamesmaybrick2001]

Nope. Thats not Alex, thats Bill S Preston. Just off camera is his time machine. Straight from 1991.

[@likilikiki]

There's about a dozen movies I can just watch over and over... and The Lost Boys is one of them.

[@richies6420]

I totally agree ❤

[@cyberknife82]

Me and my wife got closer to grandpas house by hopping the fence by the tree to the right kinda by the palm tree lol. I laid down right where grandpa did lol!

[@conscioussouthernsoul]

Most definitely

[@845SiM]

One thing we seem to have lost with digital media vs disc or cassette, is the behind the scenes, cast interviews and its a massive shame. Thankyou for this. More please…..❤

[@intertubicular]

That was very nice of Alex to show up and tell his experiences and memories of shooting The Lost Boys. So interesting and insightful. Most excellent Sean.

[@facestabber51]

The 80's were magical. Sean puts alot of time and energy into providing us this entertainment. Nostalgia sure is fun.

[@davecasebolt6418]

Totally agree. The 80s were a great decade to grow up. Movies, Music, Cars, and pro sports all just rocked. Times were so simple and fun back then.

[@Gidono]

Damn it's good to see Alex again. I grew up watching that guy in some of my favorite movies as a kid. Thanks for giving us a trip down memory lane.

[@KevinBufkin-l7i]

Freaked being one of them for me I quote that movie a lot

[@LinkMassing]

How unbelievably cool you got to have Alex tell his story at the bridge.

[@davecardoza4762]

To this day, The Lost Boys is my favorite vampire movie and the fact that you brought “Marko” on board to explain the scenes that took place on the bridge is absolutely awesome. Thank you my friend. This video totally pays tribute to the movie and to our friend Corey Haim. God rest his soul. His loss was a tough one for me. I am a fan of Corey and will always be. This video is also a tribute to all the actors that were in the movie and are no longer with us. 🙏🏻

[@elleellelee]

On a side note, I really wish they'd do something with Grandpa's house. That could be a really cool tourist/fan destination. Just like the Silence of the Lambs and Christmas Story house.

[@monicakruczaj2244]

It’s funny how David (Kiefer Sullivan) Marco(Alex Winter) and the other members of the vampire group have very little lines in the movie. However, it was more or their presence and their look that make us remember their characters. Great job . Loved this episode.

[@chrisrose2767]

YOU killed Marco!

[@lisagreenway8410]

The 80’s were the best time for everything, films, music, you name it and nothing now has got anywhere near those days!. I for one am so glad and happy I got to live through those days x

[@bubba4072]

Man, you knocked this one out of the park. This Lost Boys episode was fantastic! It's already one of my favorite HHG episodes.

[@Rr0gu3_5uture]

I was around 14 when "The Lost Boys" first came out on VHS. I think it held a special place in my group of friends' hearts because it basically felt like a fictional, idealized version of our own reality. We were a bunch of chronically unsupervised Gen X Punks who all grew up in a once-prosperous, faded seaside resort on the West Coast of Scotland. All we had in the summer was causing trouble: drinking beers, getting high, chasing girls, and running around the various arcades and fairgrounds on the run-down two-mile stretch of promenade. It sure wasn't Northern California, but in our young, naive minds, we kinda pretended it was, lol. Man, nostalgia sure is a hell of a drug!

[@edwardglyons]

I went on pilgrimage from Sydney Australia to Santa Cruz in 2017 and hunted down many of the locations. This filled in the missing pieces and the interview with Alex was awesome! Thanks so much for making this.

[@savage1469]

I live in Santa Cruz. My favorite movie is still The Lost boys. Dayum and with Marko so freaking cool. I'm still hella jealous that you have all their jackets 😊

[@bonesbrigader]

Of course Sean would own all the jackets, holy shitake mushroom 😂. That's frickin awesome

[@joeybruh916]

Nobody does it like Sean. This is my favorite horror movie and you guys killed it! Also loved the “Michael I like Michael” delivery lmao 😂😂

[@GRIGA01]

Had the pleasure of seeing Alex at a Bill and Ted Marathon and he truly is as he appears. Super down to earth, really generous with his time and genuinely excited about everything he has been a part of. Really lovely guy.

[@witchiehippie8222]

Awesome Sean! Best vampire movie ever! I listen to the soundtrack everyday.

[@joeboo8626]

Right on. I bought my copy (CD) back in 1996 while stationed in Turkey. Fantastic soundtrack.

[@MarriedtoMichaelMyers]

I used to spend every Christmas Eve in Palos Verdes. I had no idea until around a year ago that I had driven by and spent so much time right down the street from The Lost Boys cave!! Too cool.

[@stargazer4625]

Great video and tribute to everybody involved in The Lost Boys. Joel Schumacher passed in June 2020 also. I grew up with this timeless fun horror masterpiece and still like it to this day.

[@malfuncsean]

Sadly I never got to meet Joel.

[@stargazer4625]

@@malfuncsean still really cool to hear alex talk about joel at the bridge scene.

[@shatteredstiks7392]

This makes it that much more awesome the detail and the stories that happened at that time. Alex Winter adds the icing on the cake making it that much better giving details on the locations.

[@kylejanssen4450]

I hope you get 35 million views on this. Best LB location video on here and I bet the Haimster would’ve wanted you to put it out.

[@HaddonfieldAtDusk]

Wow...what a great episode! I've loved this movie since it came out. And what a treat to hear Alex Winter's behind the scenes stories...legendary! 🤘

[@bonesbrigader]

What an enjoyable episode. Don't know what I enjoyed more , Grandpa's house & learning it's history or that counter in Max's video store. Yeah kids , you too will go ape over a 40 year piece of furniture someday , somewhere. Alex is a good dude to listen to talking about his Lost Boys experience. And what I'd give for that Vampires Everywhere comic , may call the shop to inquire. This doesn't go under appreciated , thank you hearty for this very special treat. Those beautiful boardwalk shots hit the spot. Thanks again guys. Edit is because I suck at typing stuff out on small devices

[@ChuckM0503]

Someone on Etsy actually makes a replica of the vampire comic. I bought one a while back. Really well done. Has the front, back, and even a couple pages on the inside.

[@jonbasil3831]

The comic store in Santa Cruz sells a special edition replica of the comic. The owner who Sean pointed out is in the background of the movie and still works there. He’s an amazing guy who shared some behind the scene stories went i went to geek out there last year and visit the filming locations.

[@boogiedaddy3434]

The Lost Boys is my favorite movie of all time. I've seen a lot filming location vids for it, but this is by far the most comprehensive. Great work, as always, Sean. Thank you so much.

[@jjcaron72]

Best KZbin location video of 2023 !!!!! malfuncsean great job !!!!!!

[@malfuncsean]

Thank you! I busted my ass on this one.

[@Fonso13]

Yesss!!! Finally the HHG Lost Boys Filming location video! I’ve been waiting for this one for a long time. The very best one in my opinion. Love the interview with Alex by the bridge. Another fantastic video Sean! Thanks for all your hard work. RIP Corey, Brooke, Joel, & Barnard.

[@ZetaReticuli_]

I can never get enough of these videos covering the filming locations of this movie. I am a Santa Cruz native, and was a kid growing up there at the time this movie was being filmed. I remember watching the dirt bike race at the beach from the wharf, and my family and I were on the pirate ship ride during the opening credits. And the Pogonip clubhouse, that was used for the exterior of grandpa's house was only a half a mile away from the house I grew up in. So The Lost Boys is very special to me, because it is a piece of my own life.

[@osheamediauk]

I totally understand and respect the time delay for releasing your video but thank you for finally doing it! The interview with Alex Winter is probably the best interview I've seen from the film. Great work Sean.

[@maliciousclouds1614]

Outstanding. Alex and Sean in a lost boys location video goes together like bullets and guns.

[@TheGatlinburgHussey]

Hellooo from Gatlinburg TN Smoky Mountains Park...i had to send this to my buddy who's a huge Lost Boy's fan ..thank you!🏞️🙏

[@gabrielwatson7721]

Man! This took years OFF of me! I remember when Lost Boys had just came out and buying the VHS tape. I watched it 100 times with my siblings and we had every line down to a T! 😂 I really thank you for dedicating this to Corey Haim and Brook. I bet they're smiling down on ya from up there, chilling and reminiscing all the work, fun and brotherly love had down here. Thanks again, Sean.💯🙏💪

[@patrickkavanagh7371]

Well done , love hearing Alex's stories I'm a huge 80s nostalgia geek. He gave a great interview on the Death Wish 2 Blu-ray. If I lived in California I'd be checking out movie locations all the time.

[@NickVoelkel]

I saw when Adam the Woo did it along time ago but I must say I really enjoyed this a lot better went more into detail about the filming locations and the fact that you got Alex Winter to share his thoughts and stories great job really enjoyed it. This is my favorite childhood movie the posters in our guest bedroom.

[@The_BubbaHoTep]

#malfuncsean YES! Finally the long awaited Lost Boys HHG! Awesome movie, and awesome HHG episode good sir! Needless to say, Sean has produced THE BEST Lost Boys filming location/historical deep dive out there.

[@malfuncsean]

Thank you.

[@blackbeansmatter1280]

Finally made it to Santa Cruz this last October for first time and loved it. Grew up here in WA state and we idolized all the thrash, skate punk, skating and BMX that was coming up our way back in the 80's. This was awesome thank you! Haim was also an awesome child actor. Definitely a big part of that decade! Silver Bullet he was so damn good in. ✌️

[@Dr.SamLoomis]

These will never get old. Thanks for doing them.

[@davidkeery3509]

Brilliant, one of your best movie location videos yet. I like that you give the viewers time to compare the original to the present day shots. Keep up the good work.

[@lizbec1085]

Wow, this was EPIC! Shout out Alex Winter! What a great dude! Love to Corey Haim, RIP Brother. ❤

[@drewbadger68]

I spent every summer in Santa Cruz during my teens. Fun fact: The guy during the opening credits that is airbrushing the shirt was also the one that painted their bikes for the movies. He had his own business right across from The Boardwalk. "Easiest 5k he ever made." His exact words 😅 I have been out of California for about 20 years now so I don't know if it still exists.

[@macreadyop31]

Thanks for all the content! I believe people only truly die if we let their memories fade. So IMO you are doing the most respectful thing for your friend. Take care, have a good Christmas!

[@elleellelee]

This was so great! I just love how you do these film location videos. Very enjoyable to watch. Thanks for the bonus of having Alex Winter join you! I've been a Lost Boys fan since its release in theaters.

[@Robert-nu4vc]

This is a great Lost Boys fliming location video! Excellent job, dude. I'm going to the Steel City Comic Con in Monroeville PA next weekend to see Kiefer Sutherland, Jason Patrick, and Alex Winter. The Lost Boys is in my top 10 all-time favorite movies, maybe even in my top 5. They just don't make great horror films like this anymore.

[@malfuncsean]

I'm the one bringing Alex Winter there as well as the Scream cast. If you see me make sure to saw hello and ask for some HHG stickers.

[@davecasebolt6418]

Hey Sean, Great video from a GREAT movie. Special Thanks to Alex Winter for being a part of this. One of the greatest 80s flicks ever. Sean, you got a new subscriber..

[@IKCS1]

I consider myself so fortunate to have been a long time subscriber to this channel Sean Clark knows how to do this stuff love all your videos so enjoyable and with Alex Winter on this makes it more geuine and unique Great stuff Sean Thank You look forward to all your videos always!

[@shannon_w.]

This ABSOLUTELY was the BEST filming locations video for The Lost Boys I have EVER seen!

[@stephaniegunn518]

You sir, deserve all of the subscribers and all of the views. You are one of the absolute best on KZbin. Besides the perfect shot lineups and attention to detail, you always go above and beyond and many times have stars from the films in the videos with you along with behind the scenes and other info not commonly known. I stay annoyed that you are one of the slept on KZbinrs. Anyway, amazing job as always!!!!!!

[@cressi777]

Love lost Boys but i still believe and still waiting for Vamp 1986 filming locations. Anyway this is by far the best Lost boys FL around and having Alex Winter there was amazing. Thanks

[@rlj3art]

Awesome video, can't wait to meet Alex Winter and Kiefer this weekend at Steel City Con!

[@malfuncsean]

I'll be there so make sure to say hello if you see me.

[@SawyerSmoak]

Been waiting on this one for an eternity. Really wish I could’ve gotten to meet Corey. Silver Bullet is in my top ten films. Great job as always man, this is the best Lost Boys location video out there!

[@darthwizzywizard]

This is amazing. I remember me & my late Best friend loved this film. It built into such a cult classic & beyond. Real Shame Haim & McCarter passed away. Sorry for your loss. ❤. Thanks for doing this & major Respect to Mr Winter for coming out. ❤☝️💫🤩

[@silversurfer1968]

You can tell Alex is a down to earth good guy. 👍

Amazing ending with the real actor. Thanks man. You got the best content.

[@codiestrauss9270]

Wow I've love seeing Alex Winter take us through the motions of the Movie thank you very much

[@Oyukidono]

Thank you for this video! I saw the one by GrimLifeCollective as well and enjoyed both of these very much! My childhood best friend showed me The Lost Boys as my first ever horror movie and I'll always hold a special place in my heart for it. Sadly, he passed in his early 20's, but it's things like the love for this movie that we both shared that stay in my heart forever along with his memory.

Anyone else watch these to unwind at the end of a stressful day? Very calming. Thankyou Sean.

Thanks for doing this video again! Brings back a lot of memories I have family in Santa Cruz I am from New York I broke my leg on that corner right in front of the lighthouse on my motorcycle, was very lucky I almost lost the leg

[@Susieq26754]

I just recently watched Silver Bullet and Lucas. Corey was such a really good actor.

[@AdamtheGrey02]

Was really hoping some of the interiors were done in the actual house and not on a sound stage. Awesome the comic shop owner kept the racks. Sad the original shop was destroyed by the '89 quake. Another awesome location video man. To have Corey Haim with you would have some something boy. May he rest in peace. Alex Winter helping you out there and filling in some behind the scenes story was an excellent ending BTW. He still looks great.

[@theshape3988]

Truly great video. Man most people want to meet presidents or famous actors. My goal? Meeting Sean Clark would be my bucket list. Dude is a legend of filming locations and the original location guy

I fucking loved every minute of this! Alex Winter at the end was the cherry on top.

[@robchase621]

Outstanding Sean!! The way you find every shot and film the current location from the same perspective is amazing. It makes it clear that you’re doing these as a FAN instead of looking for hits - the almost twenty years between the earliest footage and now is a testament to that! Thank you for all the work so we can live vicariously through you. Sincerely - THANK YOU!

[@ignorethismessage]

Going to see this on opening weekend was my first date with my wife. Always a fond memory for us. We have met every Lost Boys actor who has ever come to HorrorHound Indy. I hope one of the ladies make it sometime. Enjoyed finally meeting Alex this year and saying hello to you.

Very interesting. And of course, so very cool to hear what Mr Alex has to say about his experience.

[@theMermaidRhonda]

Absolutely love this movie! I was talking to a friend of mine who is much younger (she loves this movie) and I told her I have the vinyl soundtrack from it...she asked where I found it. I said "1987." :)

That was awesome shaun, I've been to these locations too, amazing you met Alex W and love the conversation you both had. Fantastic
