Screaming Queenz Ep 37 - The Lost Boys

Feeling nostalgic? Big 80s hair, big 80s music, dry ice and fangs... yep we're off to Santa Carla for Joel Schumacher's 80s classic 'The Lost Boys'. The pinnale of 'sleepover horror', this movie set the bar for making vampires cool. It inspired Buffy, it inspired queer theories about subtext and secret meanings, but it also set its young star Corey Haim off on a spiral of self destruction. We get serious and talk about the dark side of Hollywood, but fear not - there are laughs too, and a LOT of 80s power rock.

Spoilers as always.
