Sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old. Never die. It's fun to be a vampire.

Sam and his older brother Michael are all-American teen with all-American interests. But after they move with their mother to peaceful Santa Carla, California, things mysteriously begin to change. Michael's not himself lately. And Mom's not going to like what he's turning into.

The Lost Boys reshapes vampire tradition, deftly mixing heart-pounding terror, rib-tickling laughs and a body-gyrating rock soundtrack....
