[@tomero12]

24:11 Not only is this a reveal that Grandpa knows about the vampires, and might be a vampire hunter, but there's subtle hints that he might be a half-vampire himself. That extremely red "root beer" is forbidden from the rest of the family. Theory is that's animal blood from all his taxidermy work. He might have been bitten in a previous encounter but has since managed his symptoms. That he reaches for a bottle after slaying the head vampire would suggest he's still affected and there's still another head vampire out there.

I’ve got two fun facts: 1.) Michael’s actor Jason Patric is the son of Jason Miller, who was Father Karras in the Exorcist. 2.) Joel Schumacher was going to make a direct sequel called The Lost Girls, but he never got the chance to make it. It would’ve brought back David, which is why his death is the only onscreen vampire death that doesn’t end with the body getting destroyed.

[@HexMommyMilkers]

The cringe is unbearable. 😳

[@OddOneOut665]

I'd love to see The Lost Girls still happen, even if Joel is no longer with us. Maybe someone out there can honor him with it though. I like the idea that David is leading a group of Lady Vamps. Might be a good way to tackle the issues of prostitution and sex trafficking.

[@StarrChild.]

Just a few details about the The Lost Buys in case anyone is interested. There was a book released along with this movie that gives more info on characters and backstory. - When Michael was being hazed by the guys and convinced he was eating maggots, he was high as David offered him a smoke. He was sitting down having visions before the scene so he was more open to accepting the things he saw weren't real. - Star was never dating David. David found her while she was homeless on the beach and she feels like she owes him. Star was actually closer with Paul who she said always made her laugh and assured her they were getting Michael and Sam to join them as brothers. She comments that the other two members of the gang, Marco and Dyawne, usually ignored her. - Michael spent a lot of time with the gang in the book. It shows his transforming happening over months and some extra scenes like Star piercing his ear and David coming across Michael and Star after they spent the night together. it awkward but David's just chill with it which i guess further proves he wasn't dating Star (or is super open). - There's more scenes of Lucy and Grandpa including backstory. Lucy was a hippie who ran away to be with Michael and Sam's dad and Grandpa was uptight. The last time Lucy saw her dad was at her mother's funeral where he fought with her husband but she says he was smart and proper like always. So when she sees how easy going and laid-back he is it is a shock to her. - There are hints in the book that the boys kidnap/kill/feed so much because they just like the slaughter. They typically tear their victims apart rather than bite at the wrist or neck which means they don't actually drink that much blood.

[@Jerome889]

😮 Is it a comic book?

[@ascendingcow1166]

@@Jerome889I think there’s an actual novelization of this movie, so that could be it. But there is comics of it too

[@StarrChild.]

@@Jerome889 There are sequel comics, I don't know if they did comics of the original. There was a novelization released with the movie which is where I got the info from but it's a rare to get a physical copy of it.

[@ariellakahan-harth8831]

It's interesting to me that Claudia from 'Interview with the Vampire' was an inspiration for the (at least initial version of) the screenplay; she becomes an adult woman in a child's body and yet in this movie the vampires' minds seem to freeze at the ages at which they were turned. They're not adults in teenage bodies who behave like teenagers to keep a cover, they really are teenagers. I often think that 'The Lost Boys', more than other vampire fiction, really digs into the idea of vampirism as eternal youth specifically, and the 'Peter Pan' allusions are the perfect way to explore that.

[@box0choco593]

Yeah this also makes a lot of sense because naturally the lost boys 1980s vampires would represent like teen peer pressure i guess

[@isobelduncan]

Claudia was based on Anne Rice's daughter who sadly died young of cancer. She was five years old, same age as Claudia in the book.

[@blackspider528]

What's cool about the comics is that the Sax Player is a vampire hunter and that oil he has on his body is to ward off vampires.

[@DrQuagmire1]

I betcha the never-made rumored sequel that was titled "The Lost Girls" would've expanded on that character's arc alot more.

R.I.P. to Corey Haim, Barnard Hughes, Brooke McCarter, Edward Herrmann, and Joel Schumacher. Corey Haim is the reason why I watched it when I turned 12, and The Lost Boys is my number 1 horror movie. "You never grow old, you'll never die, but you must feed." Best vampire quote.

The 3rd lost boy's move was a tribute to corey and its one of the best vampire films in my opinion

It’s changed a lot since then but there’s a bunch of Lost Boys stuff in the store. I love that Santa Cruz honors the movies that were filmed there.

I feel bad for Joel Schumacher. Not only did he seem like a really nice guy, but aside from his Batman movies he was a halfway decent director. This movie is great, Falling Down is great and I honestly thought Phantom of the Opera was okay. Wherever he is, I hope he's at least proud of what he did right.

[@DodoRibeiro-ts6po]

I 100% agree with you man, i mean, Batman Forever is at least enjoyable thanks to Carrey's Riddler and Tommy Lee Jones Two Face. Falling Down and The Lost Boys are his two best movies, i also very found of 8mm as well. Joel Schumacher's work will live forever. RIP

Fun Fact about Tim Capello's appearance: Joel Schumacher really wanted "I Still Believe" to be in the movie, but the original band, The Call, was a Christian band that didn't really want anything to do with vampires. Schumacher knew of Capello from Tina Turner's music videos so he asked Capello if he wanted to be in the movie. Capello loved the song and already knew it backwards and forwards. He did his performance in one take, in and out in an hour.

After watching this movie so many times and knowing every line of dialogue, I can finally confirm that watching this kill count is not really the same as watching the actual movie, it's still fun to hear James' commentary, jokes, and BTS info, but that will never replace the pure enjoyment I get out of watching the movie itself.

​@@Cottagefairycoreoff topic but I love the Ginger Snaps franchise.

8:00 love that lighthouse quote

[@TheCrazyfighter19]

11:00 I watched these movies back to back for the kill counts and said the exact same thing

[@samtbenjamin]

CLAUDIA!!! Her name is Claudia!!! Anne Rice just rolled in her grave after you called Carmilla! Carmilla is the og female literary vampire/queer icon

[@carriemiller4047]

I came to the comments to see if anyone else caught that mistake. 😆

[@katsfairytale]

Thank you!

[@Jonas-lj8ul]

That screw-up actually made my brain hurt.

[@jasmintrimble6554]

i audibly went “CARMILLA???” lmao

[@scottlovesmoviestoomuch]

And on top of that, he mentioned Dracula going after women named Lucy… while showing a clip of Mina! 🤦‍♂️ Apparently, classic victorian vampire literature is not his strong suit. 😅

[@antheathetiefling8581]

Just a quick thing The vampire child in Interview with a vampire is Claudia not Camellia. Camellia is an entirely different vampire from an 1872 Gothic novel. Anyway, love the channel! ❤

[@mayramartin702]

Also, when they made the Lucy reference to Bram Stoker’s Dracula, wasn’t that Mina, not Lucy ? I could be confused 🤔

[@cjamused7005]

Mina and Lucy are both characters in Dracula. In the movie at least she is turned and staked.

[@scottlovesmoviestoomuch]

@@mayramartin702Yes, that was Mina, as played by Lydia Deetz/Stranger Thing’s Joyce Byers herself: Winona Ryder. Goodness, I was in love with her during the 90’s. At any rate, Lucy was the redhead in that movie. So, yeah. Another flub on the Dead Meat team’s account. Whoops.

[@2Shainzz]

I'm so happy you guys are covering this movie, one of my all time favorites

[@matrixiekitty2127]

“Wow, this is like an actually sexy version of that scene from The Room” had me HOWLING🤣🤣🤣

[@coyoteclockworkstudios3140]

I would love to see a People Under the Stairs Kill count! The theme is SUPER relevant, and as a huge Rottweiler fan and owner, Prince is one of the best Rotties to ever appear on the silver screen! A gimp suit and shotgun? What more do you need?

[@TishaC89]

I’ve been emailing requesting The People Under the Stairs since the channel first started

[@FFVison]

Something worth noting. You had mentioned that garlic has no effect on the vampires in this movie, but Max points out that this was only because he was invited into the house which renders any attacks on him powerless. At least that's how I remembered it being explained.

[@christopherdash9077]

The vampire that died in the bath said that garlic didn’t work

[@FFVison]

@@christopherdash9077 yep. You're right. I was going off memory thinking it was just from the "Parmesan" test after Max was invited into the house.

[@sarahhenry1845]

​@christopherdash9077 the water was holy water. Holy water still works.

[@christopherdash9077]

@@sarahhenry1845 I know

[@RLucas3000]

If no attacks work after being invited in, why did he die when staked by grandpa? That seems a massive loophole

[@user-rj5lw3ft1w]

I don't watch much on KZbin, but for a while now this has been my favorite channel. With that being said, I've been waiting SO LONG for a Lost Boys kill count!! This made me SO happy!! You guys are amazing. I know you have the podcasts, but I'd truly love to see you do something here with the Conjuring and Insidious universes! It would be so cool. Also, it's been so fun to see this channel grow, and even see how much each of you have grown and watching James get more and more comfortable. I love the set, too, I envy your collection! I'm a huge fan and I think you guys are wonderful. Be good people and keep doing what you're doing . . . Your passion and hard work shines through in every video.

[@viperdmk1483]

Tim Capello I actually met few weeks ago, nicest guy I ever met. he was doing a solo set at a bar and a bunch of people were there. Yes he performed I still believe from the lost boys. Afterwards he took the time to meet some people. I hopped in line early so I was near the front, my turn comes and I told him about seeing the lost boys a few weeks ago and telling him “I still think that scene you were in is my favorite from the movie. You were groovin so hard. The fact you had to go up there in the movie shirtless and oiled up man, I want your confidence.” We took a pic together afterwards.

[@BigScheer]

You make a great point. If it was any other song, I'd be saying, "Really, again?" but feel free to play CRYYYY LITTLE SISTER as many times as you need. It fits this movie so well, like Top Gun and Danger Zone or Transformers the Movie and The Touch.

[@LastTheNoel]

8:00 GOD I was not expecting that Lighthouse audio edit. That cracked me the hell up, great joke

[@partofit6915]

This is my one of my favorite movies! Thank you so much for finally covering this.

[@PeachMintz]

Yes! I’ve been wanting y’all to do this movie for a long time! Also fun fact about the saxophone guy, in the comics he’s a vampire hunter

[@Nightlark100]

I've never appreciated James dressing as characters more than I have today Also i love Molly's little jumper

[@deniskadlic1162]

I never knew I needed to see James in a leather jacket.

[@esperensnare]

Gay goth Lost boys/dead meat fans rn: 👀 🔥 🥵 🥞 ♨️

[@cadenpozzy2456]

this episode possibly has the new best To The Numbers bit. the slide wipes and awkward sounds coming from the mic really do it for me

[@maxchur]

im serious when i say ive been waiting 5 and a half years for this one kill count alone, one of my favourite movies ever

[@Rubysoho907]

I had a friend who used to call me Michael because of this movie. She and I had quite the fascination with Feldman/Haim, we would watch either The Lost Boys or Stand by Me almost every Friday night for more than a year.

[@Animeguy300]

This movie is the reason why I love vampire and werewolf movies

[@1Maverick2]

This has long been on my list when people ask me what my favorite scary movie is. There's just something about it that makes me feel a nostalgia I was never actually alive for. It captures what I imagine the 80s/early 90s were like, so well, and I saw this movie tons of times as a kid in the early 2000s.

[@syphe4635]

ITS FINALLY HEREREE🎉🎉🎉🎉 I have been waiting for this kill count for so long

[@GamingSaturnMoonManBoy]

I met both Kiefer Sutherland and Jason Patric at a comic con. Two very nice guys. I also went to the Santa Cruz boardwalk on a trip to California once as a kid and I found out years later that it was also where The Lost Boys was filmed and thought it was so cool

[@KenL414]

This movie holds the record for me seeing one film the most times in the theater - 29. A theater near my house was going out of business at the time, and had $4 tickets that also included all you can eat popcorn and soft drinks with it - I think a group of friends and I went every night for 3 straight weeks at least haha. The movie never got boring to us, either. James - magnificent "to the numbers" transition - definitely a top 10 for me hah

[@hazardem_]

After my dad introduced me to this movie when I was a kid, I proceeded to watch it every single night for 6 months straight. And even now I’m never tired of watching it

[@whistlingstarlight2942]

One of my absolute favourite movies, super excited you decided to cover it!

[@callmemosey4078]

James you have no idea how long i’ve wanted this literally since 2017 i emailed you way back then to do the lost boys it’s my favorite movie as a kid thank you

[@sweetleaf634]

When James confirmed Lost Boys in the Horror Royal Rumble I had no idea he meant so soon

[@usedhalfcart]

8:00 “yer’ fond of me lobster ain’t ya?” cracked me up man. love the editing of these vids please keep it up :)

[@392stefon]

my new all time favorite video! thanks for all the hard work you all do making these videos and be good people!!
