Oh my gosh I didn’t know that! So cool! It’s so important to my childhood too. That’s probably why it holds so much magic to me. Thanks for watching, Mindy!!!
I can't say what I love more, The Lost Boys or Killer Klowns. I could really watch either one at any given moment 😁 I had no idea that Killer Klowns was filmed in the same location. You did a fantastic job on this video, Lauren!
Nice! Of course, the Boardwalk is great, but I love Pogonip best...it has so many layers of nostalgia and wonder given its multiple uses over the years (also a great hiking/biking location currently). Cheers!
Very interesting vid! Awesome editing. I’ve only seen The lost boys once so far. Loved it. Corey’s recent guitar solo video is hilarious. I’m enjoying the vid! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎥🎥🎥🎥
WHAT OMG MICHELLE!!!!!!!!!! You have homework, my dear. It may even be on Tubi! Pleeeeeeeeaaaassseeeeee watch it. You would love the technicolor cheese fest that is this movie. It’s a perfect Garbaugust watch!
I just watched it for the first time in MANY years at the boardwalk this summer. It still hit! Thanks so much for watching!! Hope your summer is going great!
1:14 Cuties!! 🍊 The boardwalk is just always there?? That’s something that would be a special event in my town. That’s so cool!! I’m trying to go 😂🏃♀️ Tea I need a chill haunted house to go to. Though I love horror haunted houses are out for me Yaaas its not a happy haunts vlog with some tiki Bar love 🫶🍹🌴 The only movie I have seen from the 3 is Us! I really need to check out the other 2 bc you have the best taste in campy movies. 🎥
Isn’t that so funny that we love horror but can’t do haunted houses?? I did this weak ass corn maze one and it scared the living daylights out of me! Nope, nope most definitely not for me!!
Love this video! Lost Boys is such a cult classic favorite of ours. Wonderful locations! A rotating bar! That sounds so cool! The hike to Grandpa's house is awesome!
This video is a,along!! Both The Lost Boys and Killer Clowns are on my watchlist but I love US. I was going to school in Santa Cruz when they filmed Us!
Thanks so much for watching!! Us doesn’t get a lot of notice for being filmed here, as well as Killer Klowns. That’s so freaking cool, did you see them filming??
I didn't realize Killer Klownz took place there. For some reason, I thought it was in the midwest somewhere. I haven't seen Us, I need to add that to this spooky season list! I'd love to visit here, it is gorgeous and looks like a fun time. Amazing shots of the location, as always, my spooky friend 🧡🧡🖤🖤
Lost Boys gets lumped in with the Boardwalk so much more than Killer Klowns, which I don’t understand. They have posters around the Boardwalk where they highlight movies filmed there and KK doesn’t have one 😭
100% have to go with The Lost Boys too. My discovery of hot vampires in my teens hahaha Those locations and the editing of this video are on point. Awesome video 💚
Great video! The Lost Boys is one of my all-time favorites and brings back so many memories for me. I'd love to visit these locations, but seeing them through your eyes is the next best thing.
Definitely nostalgic! Bringing me back through my teenage years!🥰 The last time I been there was when my daughter was a lot younger! Love that place! Oh I also watch the movie, “US” it was great!👍🏽🔥🖤🎃🍂🍁
Your broll is legit breathtaking!!!! This video was so well edited, Lauren! And I learned is much info about these locations that I didn't know. Seriously, this is a top-notch video 🙌🫶🔥 Amazing job!!! I love the Lost Boys the most out of those three films! An all-time favorite classic!
Omg it looks so nice and fun there!! I've never seen the lost boys or killer klowns, but I loved learning so much about them through this. Now I need to watch them 😂
This was awesome! I need to go to Santa Cruz! I had no idea Killer Klowns was filmed there! 🤡🤡🤡 Tubi just started auto-playing the Lost Boys this morning and Alex got freaked out 😂
This was such a fun (and informative) video! It has been quite a while since I have watched Lost Boys, but it is on the list of things that fit my current Summerween theme and this definitely got me excited for a rewatch!
This was SO COOL! It was like watching a super informative, super gorgeous travelogue. Seriously, the Travel Channel should hire you. And the timing of this is so perfect. We're doing an Us rewatch tonight and I'm going to be on the lookout for all things Santa Cruz!👏
OK, wow, such amazing compliments! Thank you, thank you! Have I ever told you that I got my bachelors degree in journalism? I had a really cool professor who really knew where journalism was headed so he had a lot of assignments that were multimedia based, such as podcasting and making videos for a TH-cam audience. I think that was where the seeds were planted for my content creation hobby 👻
@@happyhauntslibrary That's so cool! I inexplicably decided to add a video essay to my dissertation and so I'm eyeball deep in tutorials. The more I learn, the more I'm impressed by your videos because this stuff is hard!
@@happyhauntslibrary Yeah, I was his music videos and became intrigued by him, and found his book. Lost Boys 2 is trash, don't bother. The third one is alright, mostly for the fans of the orginal.
I've never been to Santa Cruz Boardwalk, but it is on my bucket list. I love the Killer Klowns display. I would love to check out the Us shooting locations. The Lost boys graphic novel looks impressive, judging by the book cover. Beautiful camera shots. I've been meaning to ask. what camera are you filming with?
@@mrhalloween3653 oh my gosh, not us watching and commenting on each others video at the same time 😂😂😂 And I just use my iPhone 15 pro! I made sure to set the camera settings to the most optimal and I sometimes film in cinematic mode.
@@happyhauntslibrary That is too funny. I use my SonyZ1 for my car rides, but iPhone 14 Pro for store shots. I may have to upgrade my phone this year. lol
I'm sitting with my younger sister while she's colouring in. I should point out that she is in her 30's but has autism that has made her a little mentally younger, me and mum keep saying she's finally entering her teenage era 😂. Back to the story, she looks up while you mention "dog watching" and says to me as straight faced as can be and goes "is that what dogging is?" I am not mentally prepared for this conversation 😂. Me and mum literally rock, paper, scissors to see who would have the birds and bees refresher talk with her when she got a boyfriend last year. I lost that one, so I think it's fair I pass this one on to my mum.
I’ve never watched the lost boys 🫣 BRB I need to go watch it now This looks like such a fun place to visit though! Killer Klowns from outer space is a favorite of mine!
Of course Gwyn loves killer klowns!! I only watched it for the first time one or two years ago so no worries that you haven’t seen The Lost Boys but get on that, lady!! 👻
@@happyhauntslibrary okay so I actually watched it last night.. and I love it! It was actually so funny and I want to watch it again already. There was only one part I felt was kind of random and unnecessary. When they randomly start getting it on in the cave I was like what is going on 😭😭😂 isn’t the little boy vampire right there?! Regardless it is 100% being added to my spooky season movie rotation 🖤
@@holabooks awwww thank you 🥹💜 This one was truly a labor of love - took me all summer to compile the footage, get the research, record audio, edit, etc. I appreciate your kind words as always!!
So fun!!! Very cool that you can just walk up to grandpa’s house. Lost Boys definitely my fave! 🎷
The Santa Cruz Boardwalk is such an important place from my childhood. We went once every summer. It always makes me nostalgic to see it in movies.
Oh my gosh I didn’t know that! So cool! It’s so important to my childhood too. That’s probably why it holds so much magic to me. Thanks for watching, Mindy!!!
A NEW HAPPY HAUTS?! I feel god in this chilis tonight
@@brooklinslibrary 😂😂🌶️🌶️
So many cool details I would have never thought of :)
Awesome!!!! ❤❤❤
I love The Lost Boys and Us!
Same!!! I watched Us for the first time this summer and I’ve been so enthralled by all the analysis videos on TH-cam 😂
I can't say what I love more, The Lost Boys or Killer Klowns. I could really watch either one at any given moment 😁 I had no idea that Killer Klowns was filmed in the same location. You did a fantastic job on this video, Lauren!
KK doesn’t get enough love from Santa Cruz in my opinion!! Whereas LB is for sure embraced by the locals in so many ways!
Nice! Of course, the Boardwalk is great, but I love Pogonip best...it has so many layers of nostalgia and wonder given its multiple uses over the years (also a great hiking/biking location currently). Cheers!
OH THERE'S NO TUNNELS...THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT TUNNEL LAUREN WOULD SAY! FREE THE ORIGINAL LAUREEEN.
(This was wonderful!)
😂😂😂 you always know how to make me chuckle outloud, Andrew. Thank you for the laugh - I needed that!!
Very interesting vid! Awesome editing. I’ve only seen The lost boys once so far. Loved it. Corey’s recent guitar solo video is hilarious. I’m enjoying the vid! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎥🎥🎥🎥
What a magical place! ✨🎠🌴🌊
🥰💜🥰💜
Clicked on this so fast! I'd love to visit Santa Cruz someday! Can you believe I've never watched Killer Klowns?!
WHAT OMG MICHELLE!!!!!!!!!! You have homework, my dear. It may even be on Tubi! Pleeeeeeeeaaaassseeeeee watch it. You would love the technicolor cheese fest that is this movie. It’s a perfect Garbaugust watch!

Hot vampires in this movie was such a moment for me as a teen 😂😂
Such a fun video!! Lost boys is so iconic! Thanks for sharing this with us. 🧛
Thanks for coming along for the ride, Jules!
Great video! The Lost Boys is one of my all-time favorites and brings back so many memories for me. I'd love to visit these locations, but seeing them through your eyes is the next best thing.
yes beach + vampires = a fun ride. Plus add 1980s into the mix and I’m all in! I know you love your vampires so I’m not suprised you love this movie!
Definitely nostalgic! Bringing me back through my teenage years!🥰 The last time I been there was when my daughter was a lot younger! Love that place! Oh I also watch the movie, “US” it was great!👍🏽🔥🖤🎃🍂🍁
Yes it’s such a nostalgic spot! It makes me so happy. The older I get, the more I cling to my childhood comforts like a life raft 😂💜
@@happyhauntslibrary 😂
This was so much fun to watch! Loved seeing the footage compared to what you can see now.
I really tried to work hard at showing what I could of the films but not have a copyright issue 😂 I am so glad I pulled it off!!

Thanks so much for watching!! 👻
Such an amazing video Lauren 🎉
Thank you, Melissa!! 🥰
This place looks so much fun!!! You've convinced me to add this beach town to my travel list. 😍
Yesss a top spot to visit in the coastal areas of Northern California!!
Killer Klowns!
🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽 from outer space!!!
Omg it looks so nice and fun there!! I've never seen the lost boys or killer klowns, but I loved learning so much about them through this. Now I need to watch them 😂
I think you would enjoy the lost boys!! It’s 80s rocker perfection on the beach 👻
I LOVE The Lost Boys 😍❤
Same!!! 🥰🥰
This was so great!
Thanks so much for watching!
Such a great video lauren!!! I miss going to the Boardwalk so much. Next time I'm in the bay I'll definitely have to go again!
Ahhhh Santa Cruz misses YOU! Isn’t it such a special place?? It never gets old (much like our fave vamps 😉😜)
Looks so fun! I’m inspired to take a visit! 🤩
I hope you do!! And take your lil ghosties with you, too!
