    • Trivia
      The new location of the Atlantis Fantasyworld comic book store, which was featured in the film, is owned by Joe Ferrara II, who still carries the original #1 issue of 'Vampires Everywhere' that Sam reads in the film. The comic was created only for the film, and its opening page is signed by all of the cast members from the movie. The owner Joe Ferrara II allows any shopper to hold it and take a photo with it free of charge.

    Holds up as a good vamp flick even in 2020
    The Lost boys was always one of my favorites as a kid, and I just watched it again at 40. It's still pleasantly entertaining. The music is cool too.
