Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSanta Cruz, where Santa Carla takes place, was once plagued with the reputation of being "The Murder Capital Of The World" because of a series of very brutal murders by three different very disturbed men in the early 1970's. Because of John Linley Frazier, Herbert Mullin and Ed Kemper, Santa Cruz endured 28 murders over a 30 month period between 1970 and 1973.
- GoofsAround one hour into the film, when David and his gang attack a group of people while Michael watches on, one of the victims is the punk with a gray stripe in his hair who was killed earlier in the film.
- Alternate versionsWhile the 1984 Warner Bros. Pictures logo is retained in the pre-2004 prints and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, it is replaced with the 2003 variant in the most other prints.
- ConnectionsEdited into The Lost Boys: The Lost Scenes (2004)
Featured review
a classic film and one of the best vampire movie I've seen
The premise of this movie is great. I love Santa Carla and how it portrays the "beach culture" and the "punk culture." If you want to see nostalgia for the 80s this is the movie to watch. The chemistry between the two main characters, Sam and Michael is great. The film blends comedy and horror perfectly. Kiefer Sunderland was great as the antagonist. It portrays teenage vampires as cool and not cheesy. There was also a little twist at the end which I thought worked.
