The REAL vampire movie

Ok, I must first clarify that I have not read or seen Twilight. I have promised several people that I will get around to reading it and seeing the movie. Mostly, I have to know what the hype is all about. I am sure it's great, I mean I know like 10 people who have already seen it. But I only have room in my heart for 1 vampire movie... Now, with that being said, I wanted to bring up an oldie but oh so goody vampire movie that they also made into a book: The Lost Boys. I believe it was based on a series of short stories, but I am not totally sure. Anyway, me and my sisters Kelli and Amy were so in love with that movie. We used to quote it word for word. We saw it more times than I can even remember. I do recall watching it 23 days in a row once, I am pretty sure it was my freshmen year... but don't quote me. We would sit down every day after school with our snacks and pop the tape into our super giant VCR and start swooning. I mean it was scary, it was funny, it was full of hot boys, and there were even a few romantical parts. Plus, the soundtrack rocked. Hello, Echo and the Bunnymen! And, while I am sure Twilight is it's own kind of awesome, The Lost Boys was serious 80's awesome and will forever be one of my favorite movies. As a matter of fact, I may be having a Blockbuster night...

I also loved that movie. I was had a thing for the brown, long haired vampire. He was so cute. Great soundtrack too.

I LOVED the lost boys movie, I had a huge crush on cory haim(sp)? Fabian and Paul and I loved watching it. I am a BIG twilight fan! I think what I love about the author is that she keeps it clean and it is SO romantic, it makes you feel like you did in High school....like you wished the boy all the girls liked liked you...and in this book, that is what happens. i LOVE it...go see it...just look past all the cheese at the beginning! love ya!
