    In The Lost Boys, the Emerson family, comprising of recently divorced Lucy (Dianne Wiest) and her two sons, Michael (Jason Patric) and Sam (Corey Haim), relocate to the seemingly tranquil town of Santa Carla. They soon find themselves caught in a sinister undercurrent when Michael is lured into a gang led by the charismatic David (Kiefer Sutherland), who are more than they appear: vampires. As Michael begins transforming, it's up to Sam and two quirky vampire hunters, the Frog brothers (Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander), to save him and their town from these night-time predators. A cult classic, this horror-comedy redefined the vampire genre with its unique blend of thrills and laughs.
