HOT GALLERY: Catch Up with The Lost Boys, Over 25 Years Later!

Who can forget this head-banging vamp who was the first to get the stake?

Though he is best known as Bill S. Preston, Esq. from Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, and Bill & Ted’s excellent animated TV series, he also cowrote, codirected, and starred in the freakishly funny Freaked and wrote and directed Fever, which debuted at Cannes. He’s currently directing television commercials and music videos. Not bad for a Valley dude.

Who can forget the lead Frog brother who also played the role in Lost Boys 2 & 3? (What? You didn’t know they existed? You’re welcome.)

Not only did Corey Feldman save Corey Haim and his bro from becoming vamps, this on-screen pairing (the first for the two) led to the friendship that spurred the reality series The Two Coreys and this moment about whether or not to be a part of Lost Boys 2. Corey continues to act (look for him in his upcoming films The M Word and The Zombie King) as well as pursue his music career and charitable endeavors, all of which you can track on his site.

Who can forget this understanding little bro who believed in his big bro enough not to stake him?

Though no longer with us (Haim died in 2010 of an apparent accidental drug overdose), this former teen idol left behind memorable projects like Lucas, Dream a Little Dream, License to Drive, and The Two Coreys, which featured him with castmate and real-life BFF Corey Feldman. Corey’s mom is currently trying to raise money to get him a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. If you would like to contribute, you can do so on his Indiegogo page,

Who can forget this well-intentioned mother looking to give her boys a fresh start? (Dianne didn’t need a fresh start though; she was hot off an Oscar win for Hannah and Her Sisters.)

With a distinguished career like hers, it’s hard to pick a favorite (but I’ll try). Who can forget her embarrassment when her vibrator gets discovered in Parenthood (which earned her Oscar and Golden Globe nods), or her understanding Avon lady when she discovers Edward in Edward Scissorhands, or her numerous Oscar/Golden Globe-winning, scene-saving/stealing, “Don’t speak” moments with John Cusack in Bullets over Broadway (like this one (@1:00). This Woody Allen muse (he’s used her in four of his films) doesn’t limit her talents to the big screen; she has also played a “steel fist in a velvet glove” as D.A. Nora Lewin on Law & Order and given a hauntingly realistic portrayal of Paul’s therapist Gina on In Treatment (which earned her both an Emmy and a Golden Globe). Next up, you can catch her in The Odd Life of Timothy Green, coming to theaters August 15.

Who can forget the real head vamp who just wanted a mom for his boys?

With an eclectic resume that includes iconic characters like Richie Rich’s father in Richie Rich, Herman Munster in Here Come the Munsters, and Nelson Rockefeller in Nixon, this character actor has also played FDR three times—in the TV movie Eleanor and Franklin, its sequel, and the musical Annie—and he’ll soon be making it four when he voices FDR in the PBS seven-part docuseries The Roosevelts: An Intimate History, premiering in 2014. Despite his many turns as the former head of state, his most notable recurring role was as Richard Gilmore on The Gilmore Girls (seen in this clip, where he gets a chance to play protective grandfather.) No stranger to TV, Edward has also had several supporting roles on shows like Grey’s Anatomy, The Good Wife, and Harry’s Law.

Who can forget this naïve vixen, whose half-vamp helped to lure Michael into the fold?

After another successful big-screen turn, in Less Than Zero, Jami turned her attention to the small screen, eventually landing her four-year stint as the still-sexy Judy Miller on Still Standing. Next up, Jami pairs her sci-fi and rom-com pasts for Dan Fogelman’s The Neighbors, about a family who find themselves living among aliens (coming to ABC fall 2012).

Who can forget the other Frog brother?

Jamison reprised his role as Frog brother to Corey Feldman for the remaining installations of the Lost Boys trilogy and continues to help promote the film at conventions, as seen here in this 25-year reunion Blood on the Beach interview.

Who can forget this breakthrough performance as reluctant vamp and loving brother Michael, whose resistance to kill saved Santa Clara? (Fun fact: Like in the film, Jason’s real-life gramps is a character—famous funnyman Jackie Gleason.)

Michael may have been reluctant to join the fang gang, but this big bro has maintained his membership in Tinseltown with gritty roles in films like Rush, Sleepers, Speed 2, Narc, and The Losers. He also earned himself some Broadway street cred in That Championship Season, which costarred former fang-mate Kiefer Sutherland. Due to his recent split from the Civil War-era drama Copperhead due to “creative differences,” the questions remains, what is next?

Who can forget the blond-haired head of the vamp gang who tricked Michael into drinking his blood?

His hair may be darker and shorter, but Kiefer is still leading the pack. After memorable turns in hits like Young Guns, Flatliners, and A Few Good Men, he landed the role of Jack Bauer on 24, a part he knows well after playing it for eight years (as seen here in this Regis and Kelly quiz). He must have enjoyed playing Bauer, because he’ll be reprising the role for the big-screen version rumored to start shooting summer 2013, when he has a break from his current gig as Martin Bohm, a father looking to connect with his son (and thereby help the masses) on Touch.
