Find THE LOST BOYS Midnights at The Tivoli This Weekend

THE LOST BOYS will be screening at the Tivoli in St. Louis this Friday and Saturday nights (April 18th and 19th) as part of the ‘Reel Late at the Tivoli’ midnight show.

“One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach, – all the damn vampires!”.

Been feeling a bit under the weather lately?   Too many late nights?   Keep missing the daytime or having to wear sunglasses when you do make it up before dusk?…… How do you feel about garlic?   Crosses?   Stakes?

Yes, it’s vampire time again…

It may not be the scariest horror movie of the ‘80s (heck, the ridiculously over-sized 80s hairstyles and mullets on show are probably more frightening than the fangs), but twenty-five years later it’s easier to appreciate director Joel “Bat Nipples” Schumaker ‘s THE LOST BOYS as the first teen vampire movie. Boasting not just one but both of those late 1980s/early ’90s pubescent “pin-ups” called “Corey”, THE LOST BOYS was a sort of brat-packer attempt at the typical vampire/horror flick. It became a pop-culture phenomenon in 1987 thanks to its attractive young stars, offbeat soundtrack, and hip, clever marketing campaign (but it’s never explained why does Corey Haim’s character has a poster of Rob Lowe on his door!).

Recently divorced Diane Wiest moves with her two sons (Jason Patric and Haim) to the California community of Santa Carla, where teenage vampires (headed by Kiefer Sutherland) cruise the boardwalk. These ‘Lost Boys’ (there is a lost girl too, but nobody mentions her) hang from the ceiling of their lair in the ruins of an old hotel, while at night they go out seeking blood in Santa Cruz, known as the Mass Murder Capital of the World. Patric is initiated into the gang, but tries to resist his vampiric urges while his brother calls in Edgar and Alan Frog (Corey Feldman and Jamsion Newlander), gonzo teen vampire hunters from the local comic store,  to battle the undead bloodsuckers.

THE LOST BOYS tagline – “Sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old. Never die. It’s fun to be a vampire.” — perfectly captured its knowing mixture of attitude and gore. Now this weekend you can sleep all day and party all evening at THE LOST BOYS when it screens at the Tivoli in St. Louis this Friday and Saturday nights (April 18th and 19th) as part of the ‘Reel Late at the Tivoli’ midnight show.

Both screenings are sponsored by Wizard’s Wagon (on the Loop – their site is HERE)
