There's is just straight up nothing I don't like about The Lost Boys.
Corey Feldman's decision to put on a deep voice for the whole runtime, Kiefer Sutherland's mullet, the absolutely banging soundtrack (oiled up beefcake saxophone guy and all)
The whole movie is dripping with atmosphere from the opening shot, it's extremely 80s vibe being constantly undercut with a darker edge, and buzzing with the excitement of youth and freedom.
It's always stuck in my mind as a horror that kids could watch, but every time I revisit The Lost Boys, I'm always taken aback by the sudden bursts of violence. It brings it own additions to the vampire horror genre, being that sure, it's gets bloody here and there, but the adolescent story that's woven throughout, and it's frequently funny and warming screenplay gives it a unique touch that is hard to successfully imitate.
The Lost Boys is Joel Schumacher's finest work (followed by Falling Down of course) and is a film that is so of its era, but still manages to feel fresh. Absolutely love it. Now excuse me whilst I go and listen to Cry Little Sister on repeat.

Another great series
I have to admit that this is a second series that actually surpasses the original, and that's fairly unusual although I'm intrigued to see if it can hold out over the 14+ seasons there's been so far.
The one thing that does lack a little in this series is the spirits/demons themselves. They don't seem quite so inventive as the first series, however this is only because there is a much bigger wider plot going on with the psychics and yellow eyed demon. This makes it a lot more serious and darker, but that's not to say it doesn't have it's lighter moments. The episode with the Trickster is downright hilarious, and there are some wickedly funny one liners and interactions between the brothers. It is looking a bit dated now, unsurprising seen as it first aired over a decade ago, but it's still good and also has a killer soundtrack. My only other criticism is the beyond irritating opening credits and recap scenes that plague every single episode. I really hope they don't carry these on across every season...
