For Night of the Vampires Martin Koolhoven decided on The Lost Boys, a slick teenage horror film that was director Joel Schumacher”s finest hour. Vampires sporting mullets, kitschy drum beats: there”s no mistaking we”re dealing with an eighties mainstream interpretation of the genre film. The film focuses on two brothers who have just moved to the coastal town of Santa Cruz and suspect that the local group of hangabouts might just be vampires.
