It's horror-comedy. That's my take. I like it alot. It was one of the first horror type movies I remember seeing. It has a cheesy charm that keeps bringing me back. I've seen it many, many times.

wtf is the point of even giving the classic folder a timeframe if nobody's going to uphold it?


Oh, and Kiefer Sutherland and Corey Feldman own

I love The Lost Boys. I'd say it's a horror-comedy. It's not a CLASSIC, not yet, anyway. It should be with time. I've seen it 2125675685246 times and I own it on DVD. :)

I love that line.

If classic just means a movie is a certain age then the Lost Boys will eventually become a classic.

If classic means a movie that you like a lot than the Lost Boys might be a classic in your own collection. There are a few truly rotten horror films that I love and watch all the time but still shouldn't go on a list of the best fifty horror films. Examples: The Torture Chamber of Dr. Sardonicus (aka Castle of the Living Dead) and Horror Rises from the Tomb.

If classic truly means that the Lost Boys is a film that any horror fan should watch and belongs on a top-50 list, IMO it will never be a horror classic.

The Lost Boys was a greta movie. I consider it a horror merely because I consider most vampire movies a horror. Perhaps that's an overgeneralization, but oh well.

Oh and it made me want to be a vampire, too. But most vampire movies did that.

I class it as horror. The only way it's a classic is like a sub sub genre of cheesy eighties horror movies that generation x love.

Anyone from England or Australia here remember the huge poster of it hanging in the original girls room in Home & Away for years?!! (sorry to American's and anywhere else as that's so totally random!)

Oh and what happened to the squel rumours?
