8 years before director Joel Schumacher brought his take on a different kind of creature of the night, he was chosen to take over for Richard Donner's Peter Panesque Goonie's style movie. Not happy with the G-rated nature, he changed The Lost Boys from family fare into a sexy, teenage thrillfest. Casting hot, young talent and veteran Hollywood crew, he took this low-budget horror flick and made it a cult classic. Now that it's about to celebrate its 35th anniversary, join Corbin as he eats some maggots to guide you through the production, behind-the-scenes drama, box-office, and impact of The Lost Boys!
