The Lost Boys or Twilight? - The Lost Boys (1987) Discussion

Really !! The lost boys is the only decent vampire film ever made . Period !!

reply

Agreed. This is how vampires are supposed to be. It follows all the vampire rules (day sleeping, exanguination, super human strength, flight, garlic, mirrors, invites, etc...). Vampires don't sparkle or go vegetarian.

You're forgetting Bram Stoker's Dracula. That was a very good vampire film.

Fairies are the first vampires

Yes you heard it right. Fairies were not cutesy tinkerbell types but very vengeful and grim. Before the 15th century people would set out milk and bread for them. If you did not provide them food they would come inside your house and drink your blood. THey needed the blood to reinforce their stock and to feed off of human essence and lifeforce. Fairies would use glamour to lure humans away and were associated with the dead. The whole vampire myth stems from old Iris folklore regarding these creatures who were blood thirsty. Bram Stoker himself was Irish. Many were day bound and came out at night. One IRish myth was the ganconer that has the same premise of twilight. So for everyone saying that the Cullens are not vampires and they are fairies then you are right. They going back to their roots.

Cool. I personally don't have a problem with the Twilight flicks (although I've only seen the first two). I just thought Lost Boys fans would find this thread amusing.

No problem.

I love both stories. I think there is room for all kinds of vampires. I see them on parallel universes/worlds, so there's no conflict.

I also love all kinds of genres. I love horror, romance, paranormal romance, etc. I know there are those who don't much care for stories that blur the lines between genres.

I love a good story, doesn't matter what genre it is.

I know; that ticks me off. I'm sure it's because of the trolls you'll often run into on these boards. But I've always found the boards a very positive feature to exchange ideas about movies, like interpretations, Q&A, etc. I've had a lot of interesting and meaningful dialogues over the years.

Unfortunately, the Twilight boards were full of trolls/haters, and a lot of fans got tired of them and stopped posting. I'm an Admin of a few Proboards and Runboards, so I do have other places to hang out. I'm still gonna miss the IMDb boards because it had a board for every show/movie I loved. Outlander & Shadowhunters members have moved to a Google Group though, and I joined them there to continue the conversations.

Lost Boys = massive splugie

Twilight = "Gee, this has never happened to me before. Can we cuddle?"

The Lost Boys is actually good. Top-notch, in fact!

Twilight? For me, it's not even guilty pleasure material... it's something lesser.
