The Lost Boys TV Show

A new take on the vampire classic.

“The one thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach… all the damn vampires!”

With that fantastic closing line, Joel Schumacher’s wonderful film The Lost Boys ended as Michael (Jason Patric) and Sam (Corey Haim) managed to survive David (Kiefer Sutherland) and his horde of vicious vampires.

Of course, they weren’t alone because it’s arguable that the most memorable characters from the film are Edward and Alan Frog (Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander).

If you need a reminder, here’s a brief tribute to the only people that can rival Buffy as vampire slayers.

You may remember that the pair of vampire-obsessed comic-shop clerks had some of the best lines in the film – “Kill your brother, you’ll feel better!” and “How much do you think we should charge them for this?” standing out.

And, after it was announced that The Lost Boys is being rebooted as a TV show,  it appears that these two characters will now be known as the Frog Sisters on the new show, as reported by Collider.

Their names are rumoured to be Cassie and Liza.

With regards to the overall plot, it’s not going to be very different to the film.

Here’s the official synopsis: “Welcome to sunny seaside Santa Carla, home to a beautiful boardwalk, all the cotton candy you can eat…and a secret underworld of vampires.After the sudden death of their father, two brothers move to Santa Carla with their mother, who hopes to start anew in the town where she grew up.

“But the brothers find themselves drawn deeper and deeper into the seductive world of Santa Carla’s eternally beautiful and youthful undead.”
