I doubt there are many other movies with "half-vampires" in them--and even if there are, would they be this awesome?

Let me know if you do a write-up of it on your site.<br /><br />Enbrethiliel,<br />I agree completely about Schumaker. And you can only be a half-vampire and remain a good person. Once you've killed, well, maybe you can't be a good person, but you can be a damned good vampire.<br /><br />BIQ,<br />Doh! I really meant to mention the music, and even went as far as making a screen cap of the sax man (a big thank you to The Mike for supplying Tim Capello's name, I've always just refered to him as Butrok the Barbarian). "Cry Little Sister" always gets me too.Marvin the Macabrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15339681552363692948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132620721136610844.post-47125407719184650692011-06-16T01:19:05.712-05:002011-06-16T01:19:05.712-05:00The Lost Boys was totally awesome well before peop...<i>The Lost Boys</i> was totally awesome well before people ever actually said “totally awesome”. It’s one of my all-time favourite movies, but I often overlook it when discussing my favourite <i>horror</i> movies because I don’t tend to think of it as one. As you say, it’s not scary, it’s just impossibly cool.<br /><br />One notable omission in your “love letter” is any reference to how fantastic the soundtrack is. “Cry Little Sister” still gives me goose bumps when I hear it. “I Still Believe” is the most kick-rectum saxophone recording ever made. “People Are Strange”, “Lost In The Shadows”, “Good Times”… is it not the best film soundtrack ever?<br /><br />BTW - My favourite Grandpa line (explaining to Sam that he doesn’t have a TV): “I just like to read the TV guide. Read the TV guide, you don't need a TV”. Cracks me up every time.Banned In Queenslandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14879785662764733057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132620721136610844.post-90402772218822340452011-06-15T16:16:31.232-05:002011-06-15T16:16:31.232-05:00+JMJ+

And all this time I thought that <i>The Lost Boys</i> subtext was nothing more profound than drug addiction. Yeah, I should have seen it earlier, but I didn't . . . and now that I do, it <i>does</i> add an amazing new dimension to the film! <br /><br />My own favourite line from this film is: "It's that girl from the boardwalk. Is she one of them? . . . She's one of them! And don't tell me it doesn't make her a bad person, Mike!" <br /><br />It's not as pithy or as quotable as Grandpa's line, sure--but it's actually my favourite vampire-related quote of all time. There's a deep philosophical question there, you know: <i>Does</i> being a vampire automatically make one a bad person? <br /><br />Great guest post, Marvin! =DEnbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132620721136610844.post-53955847584697844782011-06-15T14:20:44.153-05:002011-06-15T14:20:44.153-05:00Nice tribute!

I've been meaning to revisit it for awhile now, and this post has made me want to do that sooner rather than later.therealphoenixanewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06728133971705657561noreply@blogger.com
