Sam Emerson and Alan Frog

I think it was a pretty big waste of time having Corey Haim in this film, since there was no mention of him in the whole film and he just turned up for an "interesting ending" My point(s) is/are this: What did Edgar mean, asking Sam if he though he should act like nothing has happened between them...? They were allies in the first film! And, why put the original actor who played Alan Frog in the alternative endings, even thought they were maybe supposed to be part of the film one day? Get the original actor in, great, but the see his shadowed, purely unrecogniseable face for nigh on 1 second was just a waste of time. And who the hell recognises Corey Haim in this?

I think it makes a great set-up to a 3rd movie; should there ever be 1. It leaves the questions of how did Sam end up this way & what happened to Alan? And those can be cleared up in another movie. However for that to happen, the 2 Coreys would have to repair their friendship & I don't see that happening any time soon.

Edgar says several times through the movie that he knows what its like to lose a sibling to the vampires, so I assume that Alan got bit.. and since Sam was a vampire again at the end obviously something went wacky after the end of the first one.

I'd rather have seen Michael though.

actually its really funny the studio didn't wanna bring Corey Haim back at all, but after much begging from him and some persuasion on the part of Feldman he was allowed him a cameo,

btw if you want a good Lost Boys story check out the run of comics that came out after the movie, they pick up right where the first movie left off

Let's face it, Lost Boys was a good vampire story. For me back in the 80s, Fright Night and Lost Boys were the first vampire movies that took all the goth out of vampirism and made the vampires more like people we can relate to. I always thought there was so much they could have done with the storyline, and there was supposed to be sequels years ago, but they never happened. I think the Tribe is a good idea of what could have been had they done the sequels while it was all still fresh.
