    OMG!! The Lost Boys changed my life. I was offered a job at the movie theater in my hometown where it played because I came every night for 2 weeks to watch it. One night the manager caught me at the door and asked me if I wanted a job since i was there anyway . I said yes on the spot and went to work the next night. It is amazing to see you guys walking around in these places. I'm gonna have to dig out the dvd and watch it!

When I was older, out of college and living in San Francisco, I would occasionally drive down along the ocean on Hwy 1 for a cool relaxing Saturday.

    Santa Cruz WAS called the “Murder Capital of the World” because I the 70’s, there were several active serial killers... one of them still alive today and was helpful to FBI Profilers in classifications for these types of offenders; Edmund Kemper. There is a REALLY GOOD series in Netflix called Mindhunter about it. Highly recommend it if you haven’t watched it already!

    I just saw the movie because of the 35 years since it was released and it brought back so many good memories. One of the last sentences you said about if someone had told you in the middle of the 90s that one day you would be there, that really hit me hard, not because I have already been there, but because I also remember the 90s with a lot nostalgia for my childhood and in it having the memories of seeing The Lost Boys and thinking that I liked that movie so much even though at that time I didn't even know what its name was, I just watched it on television every time it was broadcast and I enjoyed it so much ; remember it throughout my life as a film that marked me too much and, in a way, feel "proud" that it was part of my childhood and adolescence.

I have an awesome black Lost Boys T-shirt l found in a mall about 20 years ago, and I cherish it today. Yeah, I always wanted to see Grandpa's house, too, so thanks so much for such a treat! I, as well, am obsessed with this film, and am crazy about the soundtrack, which includes a song by my favorite 80's band INXS. You have made my day with your program, so best of luck to you and your future work. ROCK ON 😎!

    If you happen to notice during the movie, all the sudden "David" starts wearing gloves. What happened is during the bike riding on the boardwalk, Keifer saw a girl he wanted to get her attention. So, he was riding wheelies up and down the boardwalk, and then one time he hit the railroad tracks. The bike went flying up in the air and he fell hard on his right wrist. Turns out he broke it in 3 places. They ended up getting a surfboard maker to make a cast, a super-duper thin cast, and he wears gloves to hide it. When "Starr" gets on the back of the bike, was the first time Kiefer drove after the accident, and she ask what was wrong with his hand, he told her it was broken, and she asked if he could do this. He looked over his shoulder and said let's find out, and off they went. Notice at that spot in the film, his brake AND clutch are both on the left-handle bar of the bike. When he got back from the hospital, the girl was gone. LOL

      David was wearing gloves from his very first scene of the movie. There wasn't any "all the sudden". No gloves in the beach massacre, the cave where sleeping Marko takes a stake, or in the fight scene with Michael at Grampa's house. Yeah, he broke his wrist and they adapted the bike, but there are zero scenes where you can clearly see it. Ya better look again.

Like you didn't live through it but it feels as if you did? I just love everything about these Hollowood walkthroughs. I say Hollowood because you're literally walking through the bones of the past. I LOVE it. It would be legendary if you could get some cast members to do a walkthrough with you and get their commentary on it.
