Someone else already suggested Fright Night(1985) and there was a re-make in 2011 with Colin Farrell, Toni Collette & Anton Yelchin, I really enjoyed.But also, please do watch American Werewolf in London, you won’t regret it.
1:51 - Yes, that’s Kiefer Sutherland and he was in Stand by Me. He’s a great actor. If you’re looking for good movie suggestions with him in it (and with a scary theme suitable for Halloween), you should check out Flatliners (the 1990 version). It also stars Julia Robert’s and Kevin Bacon.
There is a very good interview on youtube with both Jason Patric & Kiefer Sutherland...40 years alter... discussing the making of Lost Boys. Interesting trivia ... they both hated the mishmash of a script. It played up the comedy, but had no coherent story. Jason & Kiefer "mutinied" & basically re-wrote as they went along...much of the finished film is improvised! To this day, they are both proud of it.
The saxophone guy is Tim Cappello and he's still performing. The music video for synthwave artist GUNSHIP's song "Dark All Day" is an VERY UN-official anime sequel to The Lost Boys (and a few other vampire flicks). Tim appears in that video in both anime and live-action form. Synthwave music is a perfect genre for Tim since it tries to recapture that 80s sound/feel.
I sure hope he's gotten to play gigs due to The Lost Boys, because he's like the BIGGEST THING anyone mentions about this movie. And ... he's actually a great sax player!
Here's some other great 80's fun cheesy horror. 1. Fright Night (1985) 2. An American Werewolf in London (1981) 3. Dolls (1987) 4. House (1985) 5. The Gate (1987) 6. Waxwork (1988) 7. The Return of the Living Dead (1985) 8. Reanimator (1985) 9. From Beyond (1986) 10. Elvira Mistress of the Dark (1988) Also, check out "The Changeling"(1980) with George C. Scott, it's not cheesy fun, it's serious, but it's a classic 80's horror.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988) is about as much "fun cheesy 80s horror" as you can get. And then there's Class of 1999 (1990). Which I guess doesn't make the list because of the year. But it's still in the same stratosphere as far as campy/horror feel goes.
The one cool little bit of trivia I got, is the single tear from David's eye after burning his hand was not scripted or intended, but caused by those incredibly uncomfortable contact lenses. But, it made for such a uniquely riveting reaction to the sunlight
Honestly, I’ve seen this movie about 10 million times and find it endlessly rewatchable. I was lucky to see it on the big screen, in Dublin, a few Octobers back. Great reaction!
It's hilarious how much they focus on him and it has nothing to do with the rest of the movie, just this separate side character with his whole own thing going on. I feel like he could be a good spinoff
At 5:00 - well, Jordan has his Halloween costume sorted...EVERYONE loves sweaty-saxophone guy. He comes out of nowhere, rocks the sax, and leaves. Ah, the 80's...
A fantastic vampire "movie" is Salem's Lot (1979). It was a made for TV miniseries based on the Stephen King book, and it absolutely terrified an 8-year-old me when it came out. There are remakes, but I like the 1979 version best.
It’s not a vampire movie, but another great 80’s movie starring Corey Haim, played here as Sam, is “Silver Bullet”. It is a Stephen King book adaptation and an 80’s staple as well.
@@hellomark1 Oh, yes, absolutely. Such a remarkable film but seems to go unnoticed by so many people. Much like "PUMPKINHEAD" (1988), which also starred Lance Henriksen. Funny that he was in "ALIENS", "NEAR DARK", and "PUMPKINHEAD", all fabulous works. He's truly one of the greats.
This is one of those movies that it's always a true joy to see people discovering. Used to play all the time in October on various cable networks, and has long been a great movie night movie. If we knew that The Lost Boys was goinna be on channel whatever at whenever, we made sure to call up friends and family and let them know.
*"Salem's Lot"* _(1979),_ TV mini series after a Stephen King novel. A remake is coming to theaters next year. But this original still passes the test of time. *"Fright Night"* _(1985),_ a horror comedy about vampires. *"Near Dark"* _(1987),_ has some parallels to "The Lost Boys", I'd say. ----- ----- And if you're up for some werewolf action of the 80s: *"An American Werewolf in London"* _(1981),_ another great horror flick with comedic elements. *"Wolfen"* _(1981),_ an ecological horror movie...yeah - you've read that right. *"Silver Bullet"* _(1985),_ another movie after a Stephen King short story. *"The Howling"* _(1981),_ by Joe Dante, who also made "Piranha", "Gremlins 1 + 2" and "The Burbs" - all worth a watch. *"Teen Wolf"* _(1985),_ a comedy with Michael J.

And a ton more...
The vampire movie that modernized the lore was The Night Stalker (1972). The highest rated tv movie at the time of its release. Written by the great Richard Matheson.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE! I have seen it more times than I can count. I live about 2 hours from Santa Cruz where the movie was filmed, and every year the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz does a move night where they show Lost Boys on a big screen on the beach. My family and I went there and watched it last year and it was a blast.
80s was so magical and fun. Entertainment was at the greatest time with amazing things. This movie is definitely part of the greatest era to be alive. I would not trade being and 80s kid, 90s teen for anything! It is a blessing to have lived it.
So the mom’s name is Lucy, which is a character in Dracula. And Max is probably named after Max Schreck who played Count Orlok in the original Nosferatu...
This movie was in heavy rotation on my vcr back in the 80's. Definitely you should watch Fright Night And An American Werwolf in London, both are also a mix of horror and fun.
You simply have GOT TO see Near Dark. Late 80's modern take on Vampires, and for me one of the best Vampire flicks out there. You'll love it! Excellent upload as usual 👌
This was the first depiction of vampires living in a coven. And being young. I mean, "Interview With The Vampire" was published in 1976 but the movie didn't get made till 1994. This movie really brought vampire covens to the fore.
The look of this iconic film was done by Michael Chapman. Who was the cinematographer for Raging Bull and Taxi Driver. And I can't wait for your review of An American Werewolf In London. You two are so awesome!
It’s a Doors cover by Echo and the Bunnymen, but Ray Manzarek of The Doors produced it and played keyboards in it too. He remained friends with Ian McCulloch of the Bunnymen ‘til his death afaik..
Near peak 80s fun this one. And such a great soundtrack, _literally_ wore out the tape playing it. (also, _surely_ a contender for best final line of a movie - grandpa comin' thuu-rough yo :)
I have such great memories of the night my friends and I went to watch this movie. The local radio station would occasionally host midnight movies on weekends. Me and three of my friends decided to go camping that night. So we went out and setup the campsite before heading to town for the show. The campsite was in a small clearing in the middle of a field of sunflowers. It was fall, so the plants were all dying and about ready to be harvested. So we setup by this small single tree in the middle of this field and setup a campfire under it. We didn't know at the time, just how much it looked like the scene we were about to see in the movie when the vamps kill the group at the campfire, or that one of our number, Bruce, just happened to be wearing a black trench coat that looked a lot like the one David is wearing in the movie. We got back from the movie, went to the campsite and it hit me how much that tree and fire looked like that scene from the movie. Mike decided to take the ATV back to the house that was about a quarter mile away to get some more sodas, and of course, being teenage boys, we decided to prank him and go hide. And while two of us ran into the sunflowers, Bruce climbed that tree. Mike comes back and just by chance stops his ATV directly under Bruce, who proceeds top wrap his legs around the branch he's on and swing down directly in front of Mike's face, hanging upside down with that trench coat waving around like Dracula's cape. Don't think I've ever seen anyone jump that high in my life!
This has quickly become one of my favorite react channels. Keep up the great work guys! Your videos and especially the intros have come so far, from the shy awkward first video intros. This one of my favorite 80s horror movies, the look, the cheesy acting, the greasy sax player, all perfection!
There are two more movies in this franchise. The second one is called "Lost Boys: The Tribe", and the third is called "Lost Boys The Thirst". Some people don't like them but I think they're fantastic! 😍 I own the entire trilogy). You mentioned "ghouls and werewolves in high government positions", and you said "I wanna see THAT movie!" Well, then watch the other two (especially #3). They answer questions that weren't answered in this one, and I think you will love them. 💓

Okay.. just Subscribed! You guys are a lot of Fun! I actually knew one of the Vampires.. It was the Blonde one. His name is Brooke McCartle. He also produced a pretty famous Promo Video for Corey Haim, the young son in this movie, called Me Myself and I. I also met the director Joel Shumaker back in the 90s.. Such a Classic.. Here's an Awesome 80s underared classic that I know you'll love.. It's called "Less Than Zero" with Jamie Gertz, who was Star in this movie, a young Robert Downey Jr, Andrew McCarthy and James Spader.. Total 80s film with a great ending! Great job, guys!!
Glad you enjoyed the movie! It was a fun reaction to watch! I see other people have mentioned the other big 80s vampire movie Fright Night. It's definitely worth watching. There was also a remake in the early 2000s that was actually pretty good as well and takes a slightly different angle to the plot, so you could conceivably watch both and compare them. There's also the classic Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) with Keanu Reeves, Gary Oldman, and Winona Ryder. Reeves gives perhaps his worst performance ever, but overall it's not a bad movie. A somewhat lesser known vampire film is John Carpenter's Vampires (1998), which is probably really only notable because Carpenter directed it. It's not terrible by any means, and it has an interesting idea with the plot centering on a group of professional vampire hunters who are sanctioned by the Vatican, but it's also not a particularly well known or beloved vampire film.
Chandra since you like fantasy movies and gothic stuff like Sleepy Hallow, I recommend the vampire movie Bram Stoker’s Dracula with Gary Oldman and Winona Ryder. 🩸🦇 And Interview With The Vampire (90’s movie )
You beat me to it! I think Jason was underestimated because of his looks, but the man can really act. Case in point: Sleepers, Incognito, and The Alamo.
Iconic movie and soundtrack!! Keifer is in another horror movie called Mirrors you shoud watch for spooky season. I've not seen anyone react to that one.
Vamp is a solid 80s vampire flick (and seconding Fright Night, which is amazing). Also, The Blob is excellent. The Lost Boys is a great film, plenty of memorable moments and quotes.
Movies like this the most are "Fright Night" and "Monster squad" they have that 80s teen comedy horror feel, also "Return of the Living Dead" Something more mature is definitely "Near Dark" that shares a lot of connections with "Aliens" I think a lot of people would say it's up there as being the best cult vampire movie. Going into the 90s one of my favorite movies with a similar feel to Lost Boys etc is "Tales from the crypt Demon Knight" it's a movie not the tv show, which alot of reactors need to get around to watching.
The ultimate 80s teen "horror" movie - just fantastic. Great cast, great script, great effects - and a legendary soundtrack. Endlessly rewatchable. Awesome reaction you two, your sheer glee throughout just shows how well this has held up for new audiences to enjoy.
Guys really enjoyed your appreciation of this film..i really tried hard to find a 'sam jacket' when i was a teenager and i listened to the soundtrack on repeat.
Hey y'all, great pick....such a fun 80s film! I saw this at the drive-in in a double feature. You asked for suggestions, here's mine: "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai" & "Maximum Overdrive"!! 😎🤘
Great reaction To a great movie from the 80's. A Horror Comedy With one of the best soundtrack ever. Here some suggestions for 80's movies. Adventures in Babysitting Overboard Lethal weapon Evil dead 2 Full Metal Jacket Killer Clowns from outer space Leviathan Deep Star six The Karate Kid
I would recommend checking classics like the excellent Seven Samurai. One of the greatest movies ever made that NEEDS some serious love from youtubers reacting to movies
The Lost Boys is one of my favourites from the 80s. As a previous comment has mentioned, Fright Night (and its sequel) are two other great, great vampire movies from the 80s that have the same mix of genuine scares and laughs. Also, a fantastic and beautifully shot vampire film from 20 years before this is The Fearless Vampire Killers. It's full of weirdness and eccentricity, but again has a great balance between quirky humour and authentic, atmospheric chills.
My favourite 80s vampires movie is The Hunger, but there are other great ones like Near Dark and Fright Night. For something very different, there is Lifeforce, which is based on a book called The Space Vampires.
Since you asked for other 80s recommendations just have to put another personal childhood favorite out there (Lost Boys was one also). "Willow" 1988 with Warwick Davis & Val Kilmer if you haven't seen it. Lots of fun, beautifully made & an awesome score
Corey Haim popped up on everyone’s radar in the 1986 comedy Lucas (Charlie Sheen, Winona Ryder). After this movie, the two Corey’s were popping up everywhere. They were cute for a minute but their acting roles never matured with age, probably due to drugs and regressed trauma as they went in and out of rehab between movie releases. Coincidently or not both Charlie Sheen and Winona Ryder were also in and out of rehab in-between their movie roles. Hollywood gets the best of some vulnerable people. I’m sure there’s a docudrama out there about the rise and fall of the Two Coreys for anyone interested.
That was a lot of fun, this film is such a product of its time, so iconic. You mentioned An American Werewolf in London at the beginning, can't wait for that reaction. Best Werewolf movie of all time IMO. Happy Halloween guys 🎃👻🕷️🕸️
_The Hunger_ (1982) is a stylish and different-from-usual take on vampires with David Bowie, Susan Sarandon, and Catherine Deneuve. _Repo Man_ (1984) is a cult-classic sci-fi with Emilio Estevez and Harry Dean Stanton.
Great reaction to a great film. Garlic works on vampires. Remember he was invited in so he could eat garlic and had reflection in the mirror. If you have not seen the Crow original good for this time of year .
Hidden in the movie....when sam kills the vampire with the arrow he says death by stereo. The song playing was actually by the band death by stereo. Another good vampire movie recommended is queen of the damned. Good soundtrack too.
Always cool when Hollywood comes to film in your town. I lived in Magna, Utah when they shot some scenes for "BATS" (1999). Sections of downtown were blocked and I couldn't get to my barber. It was not a big deal 'cuz Granpa Mike looks good with long hair. ;)
Fright Night is also a great 80s vampire film
That's one I'm really hoping they watch at some point.
I love Fright Night!
Oh Brewster
Totally watch the 85 Fright Night.
Someone else already suggested Fright Night(1985) and there was a re-make in 2011 with Colin Farrell, Toni Collette & Anton Yelchin, I really enjoyed.But also, please do watch American Werewolf in London, you won’t regret it.
The 3 best Vampire movies of the 80s that changed the vampire lore. "Fright Night"(Aug/1985), "The Lost Boys"(Aug/1987), "Near Dark"(Oct/1987).
Three of my favourite films, Near Dark in particular tends to get overlooked.
"Near Dark" is unwatchable, IMO.
Yes!
The Hunger w/David Bowie
Vampire's Kiss!
The first vampire killed, Marco, was played by Alex Winter, who also portrayed Bill S. Preston, Esq. in the Bill & Ted films.
That was most instructive, BouillaBased.
He was also in a hilarious horror-comedy from the 90s called, Freaked.
Totally awesome!
@@brynmormeredith6270Keanu Reeves is also a major character in Freaked, Ortiz the Dog Boy, although he is uncredited.
Winter's also a director. He directed a doc on Frank Zappa. I backed his project and got a lot of Zappa stuff framed.
1:51 - Yes, that’s Kiefer Sutherland and he was in Stand by Me. He’s a great actor. If you’re looking for good movie suggestions with him in it (and with a scary theme suitable for Halloween), you should check out Flatliners (the 1990 version). It also stars Julia Robert’s and Kevin Bacon.
That takes me back.
also Dark City! Get the Directors Cut, that film is a whole mood!
There is a very good interview on youtube with both Jason Patric & Kiefer Sutherland...40 years alter... discussing the making of Lost Boys. Interesting trivia ... they both hated the mishmash of a script. It played up the comedy, but had no coherent story.

@@adarael He does a cameo in the show 'Reservation Dogs'.
@@WhatsUpMan1969 Oh, that's awesome!
Came here to say exactly that!
Capello is also in the video for Monster in Paradise, from GUNSHIP's most recent album, Unicorn.
He also plays on Gunship's Monster in Paradise, alongside Milkie Way from Wargasm and Dave Lombardo from Slayer

Oh "The Changeling", that's one I haven't scene in decades.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988) is about as much "fun cheesy 80s horror" as you can get.
And then there's Class of 1999 (1990). Which I guess doesn't make the list because of the year. But it's still in the same stratosphere as far as campy/horror feel goes.

Kiefer Sutherland is a legend when he comes to acting
Yeah, they should add Flatliners to the list.
and vocing car commercials 👍
@@josoffat7649 and movies dont forget Phone Booth
As far as voice acting go, his in 'Phone Booth' was great.
He really is. He did a movie called Eye for an Eye....whewww. He makes your blood boil in that one. Very evil character.
The soundtrack is awesome. One of my favorite.
Def watch Fright Night and An American Werewolf in London. Both are in the same vein (pun intended) and you’ll love them too.
That saxophone player is PEAK 80's!😂
37 years later and I STILL believe.
If you were to ask me to describe the 80’s, he would probably be one of the first things to come to mind🤣
Tim Cappello IS the 80s!
I didn't learn until recently that he WASN'T Shawn Michaels.
It's hilarious how much they focus on him and it has nothing to do with the rest of the movie, just this separate side character with his whole own thing going on.
I feel like he could be a good spinoff
At 5:00 - well, Jordan has his Halloween costume sorted...EVERYONE loves sweaty-saxophone guy. He comes out of nowhere, rocks the sax, and leaves. Ah, the 80's...
Since Grandpa knew about Vampires in Santa Carla , The Lost Boys franchise should make a prequel of a young Grandpa first encounter with Vampires.
I wish they would make a sequel with the frog bros... oh wait, nevermind lol
@@josoffat7649😅 yeah, they should definitely do that... DOH!!!
@@josoffat7649 lol. Yeah...about that. 😂
Now that's a fine idea!
The lost boys cinematic universe needs more
I can't wait for you two to watch American Werewolf in London. No rush though, it'll keep 😉
The forgotten hero is Nanook. Sams ride or die. He saved Sam from Mike and took out the one who looks like Twisted Sister.
Totally annihilated his night stalking ass!
Check out Evil Dead 2, and Fright Night, guys!😉

80s horror movies on par with this are hard to come by. Creepshow is pretty good if you haven’t seen that. Same kind of horror lite vibe.
Another Corey Feldman movie to check out is the totally underrated film “The Burbs” with Tom Hanks. It also fits into the Halloween genre of movies.
Check out the movies The People Under the Stairs(1991), A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge(1985), and Weird Science(1985).
This was the first depiction of vampires living in a coven. And being young. I mean, "Interview With The Vampire" was published in 1976 but the movie didn't get made till 1994. This movie really brought vampire covens to the fore.

And while two of us ran into the sunflowers, Bruce climbed that tree. Mike comes back and just by chance stops his ATV directly under Bruce, who proceeds top wrap his legs around the branch he's on and swing down directly in front of Mike's face, hanging upside down with that trench coat waving around like Dracula's cape. Don't think I've ever seen anyone jump that high in my life!
This has quickly become one of my favorite react channels. Keep up the great work guys! Your videos and especially the intros have come so far, from the shy awkward first video intros. This one of my favorite 80s horror movies, the look, the cheesy acting, the greasy sax player, all perfection!
There are two more movies in this franchise. The second one is called "Lost Boys: The Tribe", and the third is called "Lost Boys The Thirst".
Some people don't like them but I think they're fantastic! 😍 I own the entire trilogy).
You mentioned "ghouls and werewolves in high government positions", and you said "I wanna see THAT movie!"
Well, then watch the other two (especially #3).
They answer questions that weren't answered in this one, and I think you will love them. 💓
The Goonies is one of my favourite movies of all time...80's magic! See the youngest Josh Brolin you have ever seen!
David is Kiefer Sutherland, son of Donnald Sutherland. Both have extensive film careers and are Canadian.
Definitely check out the 1970s version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers starring Donald Sutherland, it's a horror classic!
The people under the stairs
GREAT reaction! Lots of people pan this movie as a silly cult classic but it's a great mix of horror, comedy, and good action.

Okay.. just Subscribed! You guys are a lot of Fun! I actually knew one of the Vampires.. It was the Blonde one. His name is Brooke McCartle. He also produced a pretty famous Promo Video for Corey Haim, the young son in this movie, called Me Myself and I. I also met the director Joel Shumaker back in the 90s.. Such a Classic.. Here's an Awesome 80s underared classic that I know you'll love.. It's called "Less Than Zero" with Jamie Gertz, who was Star in this movie, a young Robert Downey Jr, Andrew McCarthy and James Spader.. Total 80s film with a great ending! Great job, guys!!
For more 80's vampire action check out the original Fright Night. It's awesome.
Definitely go with the original too. Not saying the remake wasn't good, but the style of the original is fantastic.
also, "Near Dark". One of my personal favorite Vampire films
I second both of those suggestions! Both are absolute bangers 🙌💯
Fright Night 2 (1988) is a really good sequel. It would have been a hit if the studio didn't screw up.
Love this movie! If you liked that one you definitely would love Fright Night (1985), Near Dark, Critters & Re-Animator. Awesome reaction 👍
Glad you enjoyed the movie! It was a fun reaction to watch!
I see other people have mentioned the other big 80s vampire movie Fright Night. It's definitely worth watching. There was also a remake in the early 2000s that was actually pretty good as well and takes a slightly different angle to the plot, so you could conceivably watch both and compare them.
There's also the classic Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) with Keanu Reeves, Gary Oldman, and Winona Ryder. Reeves gives perhaps his worst performance ever, but overall it's not a bad movie. A somewhat lesser known vampire film is John Carpenter's Vampires (1998), which is probably really only notable because Carpenter directed it. It's not terrible by any means, and it has an interesting idea with the plot centering on a group of professional vampire hunters who are sanctioned by the Vatican, but it's also not a particularly well known or beloved vampire film.
Chandra since you like fantasy movies and gothic stuff like Sleepy Hallow, I recommend the vampire movie Bram Stoker’s Dracula with Gary Oldman and Winona Ryder. 🩸🦇
And Interview With The Vampire (90’s movie )
John Carpenter's vampires
This is one of my favorite soundtracks of all time.
Bit of trivia.. Michael (Jason Patrick) is the son of the actor who played Father Damien Karras, from The Exorcist.
You beat me to it! I think Jason was underestimated because of his looks, but the man can really act. Case in point: Sleepers, Incognito, and The Alamo.
And is the grandson of Jackie Gleason, who’s daughter was married to Jason miller (from the exorcist)
Iconic movie and soundtrack!! Keifer is in another horror movie called Mirrors you shoud watch for spooky season. I've not seen anyone react to that one.
I wore through the tape of this soundtrack. Had to buy a second copy. Absolutely one of my top soundtracks ever.
Tim Capello is an actual sax player he now works with Gunship who did a song about the Lost boys on their second LP the videos cool!
3 o’clock High is my favorite 80’s movie.
Vamp is a solid 80s vampire flick (and seconding Fright Night, which is amazing). Also, The Blob is excellent.
The Lost Boys is a great film, plenty of memorable moments and quotes.
Your channel is phenomenal. ❤️
Movies like this the most are "Fright Night" and "Monster squad" they have that 80s teen comedy horror feel, also "Return of the Living Dead" Something more mature is definitely "Near Dark" that shares a lot of connections with "Aliens" I think a lot of people would say it's up there as being the best cult vampire movie. Going into the 90s one of my favorite movies with a similar feel to Lost Boys etc is "Tales from the crypt Demon Knight" it's a movie not the tv show, which alot of reactors need to get around to watching.
Return of the Living Dead is probably my favorite zombie film. It is so quintessentially 80’s it almost hurts🤣
I was around in the 80s and Fright Night was a big sleeper hit in the summer of 85.
Check out Fright Night from the 1980's. About vampires also.
Tim cappello,does vocals,sax,keyboard,guitar,drums,and percussion
Indeed, the soundtrack it's awesome
The ultimate 80s teen "horror" movie - just fantastic. Great cast, great script, great effects - and a legendary soundtrack. Endlessly rewatchable. Awesome reaction you two, your sheer glee throughout just shows how well this has held up for new audiences to enjoy.
Guys really enjoyed your appreciation of this film..i really tried hard to find a 'sam jacket' when i was a teenager and i listened to the soundtrack on repeat.
Hey y'all, great pick....such a fun 80s film! I saw this at the drive-in in a double feature. You asked for suggestions, here's mine: "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai" & "Maximum Overdrive"!! 😎🤘
Great reaction To a great movie from the 80's.
A Horror Comedy With one of the best soundtrack ever.
Here some suggestions for 80's movies.
Adventures in Babysitting
Overboard
Lethal weapon
Evil dead 2
Full Metal Jacket
Killer Clowns from outer space
Leviathan
Deep Star six
The Karate Kid
I love Deep Star Six (1988), my favorite of the late '80s deep sea monster flicks, the others being The Abyss (1989) and Leviathan (1989).
I would recommend checking classics like the excellent Seven Samurai. One of the greatest movies ever made that NEEDS some serious love from youtubers reacting to movies
Perfect time to do it, it's the 70th anniversary for a few more months
@@RussellCHall for real
Near Dark is a crazy vampire movie with a cast you will definitely recognize
Legend. Tom Cruise as a kid💯
The Lost Boys is one of my favourites from the 80s. As a previous comment has mentioned, Fright Night (and its sequel) are two other great, great vampire movies from the 80s that have the same mix of genuine scares and laughs. Also, a fantastic and beautifully shot vampire film from 20 years before this is The Fearless Vampire Killers. It's full of weirdness and eccentricity, but again has a great balance between quirky humour and authentic, atmospheric chills.
My favourite 80s vampires movie is The Hunger, but there are other great ones like Near Dark and Fright Night. For something very different, there is Lifeforce, which is based on a book called The Space Vampires.
Since you asked for other 80s recommendations just have to put another personal childhood favorite out there (Lost Boys was one also). "Willow" 1988 with Warwick Davis & Val Kilmer if you haven't seen it. Lots of fun, beautifully made & an awesome score
Corey Haim popped up on everyone’s radar in the 1986 comedy Lucas (Charlie Sheen, Winona Ryder).
After this movie, the two Corey’s were popping up everywhere.
They were cute for a minute but their acting roles never matured with age, probably due to drugs and regressed trauma as they went in and out of rehab between movie releases.
Coincidently or not both Charlie Sheen and Winona Ryder were also in and out of rehab in-between their movie roles.
Hollywood gets the best of some vulnerable people.
I’m sure there’s a docudrama out there about the rise and fall of the Two Coreys for anyone interested.
I have always enjoyed Vamp from 1986. Enjoyed your reactions.
That was a lot of fun, this film is such a product of its time, so iconic. You mentioned An American Werewolf in London at the beginning, can't wait for that reaction. Best Werewolf movie of all time IMO. Happy Halloween guys 🎃👻🕷️🕸️
If you liked this, I recommend Fright Night. It's another fun vampire movie like this.
one of the best movies to come out of the 80s. i was 7 (1987) when i first saw Lost Boys.
Not only was Jami Gertz
Also in Twister, she is also the richest not just actor, but entertainer in the world, with a net worth of $10.5 billion.
Really? I wanted to marry her, dammit! I gotta look this up
Better Off Dead with John Cusack is quotable and hilarious. Truly a must-watch 80s comedy.
Two dollars! 😠
@@positivelynegative9149 didn't ask for a dime...two dollars...cash
Or the other by the same director One Crazy Summer.
Hot Pursuit (1987) with Cusack is pretty good too.
Another 80's Vampire flick to check out, The Hunger. It's stars Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie and Susan Sarandon.
Hope you two are having an great and awesome day ❤
_The Hunger_ (1982) is a stylish and different-from-usual take on vampires with David Bowie, Susan Sarandon, and Catherine Deneuve.
_Repo Man_ (1984) is a cult-classic sci-fi with Emilio Estevez and Harry Dean Stanton.
Great reaction to a great film. Garlic works on vampires. Remember he was invited in so he could eat garlic and had reflection in the mirror. If you have not seen the Crow original good for this time of year .
The vampire leader is Kiefer Sutherland, son Of Donald Sutherland who was in the HUNGER GAMES.
Hidden in the movie....when sam kills the vampire with the arrow he says death by stereo. The song playing was actually by the band death by stereo. Another good vampire movie recommended is queen of the damned. Good soundtrack too.
Always cool when Hollywood comes to film in your town. I lived in Magna, Utah when they shot some scenes for "BATS" (1999). Sections of downtown were blocked and I couldn't get to my barber. It was not a big deal 'cuz Granpa Mike looks good with long hair. ;)
Monster squad is another hidden gem. Not comparing it to The Lost Boys. But it is fun.
Jason Patrick, the actor who plays Michael, is also the real life son of Jason Miller, the late star of The Exorcist
Best final lines of a movie ever!
One of only a few movies that can be rewatched unlimited times.
My favourite vampire movie..loved it when i was a kid along with Frightnight.
I saw this in theaters when it came out. And bought the record soundtrack and listened to it so many times.
