ALEX WINTER: I think it's the most successful interpretation of all the things [director Joel Schumacher] did well, which was fashion and music and understanding actors and story and style and — I'm just gonna call a spade a spade — homoeroticism and sexual ambiguity and sexual adventurousness. So few people really had a forward vision. And Joel co...
WINTER: I do think that, for sure, our characters had that kind of undercurrent. I don't think it required, you know, sitting around a table read discussing it. I had spent my previous five years doing two long-running Broadway shows back to back — during the beginning of the AIDS crisis and at the height of the disco era. I started going to discos...
WINTER: Ah, man. I'll get in so much trouble with literally everybody else involved in the film. I mean, look, it was the mid '80s. I was 19. I was getting up at eight at night and going to bed at seven, eight in the morning every day in Santa Cruz. It was insanity. It was really fun. We were on bikes all the time.

- The Lost Boys Included Unused B-Roll Footage From Top Gun Due To Budget Cuts. There seems to be a trend with classic ‘80s horror movies experiencing budget cuts just before the start of production, and it’s no different for The Lost Boys.
- Kiefer Sutherland’s Look In Lost Boys Was Inspired By Billy Idol. Kiefer Sutherland’s David Powers may be one of main antagonists in The Lost Boys but he has remained a fan favorite and heartthrob over the years due to his iconic look (that platinum blonde mullet).
Within a couple years, Patric would reunite with Gertz in The Lost Boys and After Dark, My Sweet with Dern. He co-starred with George Dzundza and Stephen Baldwin in The Beast . In 1987, Patric had his breakout role as teenage vampire Michael Emerson in Joel Schumacher 's The Lost Boys. [2]

Jason Patric was approached early on by Schumacher to play Michael, but Patric had no interest in doing a vampire film and turned it down "many times". Eventually he was won over by Schumacher's vision and his promise to allow the cast a lot of "creative input" in making the film.
