screenrant.com:

Kiefer Sutherland looks back on developing the look of his villain in The Lost Boys, revealing he regrets the hairstyle he helped popularize. Sutherland starred in the vampire dark comedy as David Powers, the leader of a gang of vampires living in the fictional Californian town of Santa Carla. The Lost Boys revolves around brothers Michael and Sam as they move to Santa Carla with their recently divorced mom and find themselves drawn into the world of the vampires feeding on the town.

Alongside Sutherland, the cast for The Lost Boys included Jason Patric, Corey Haim, Sutherland, Jami Gertz, Corey Feldman, Dianne Wiest, Edward Herrmann, Billy Wirth, Brooke McCarter, Alex Winter, Jamison Newlander and Barnard Hughes. Directed by Joel Schumacher, the film received largely positive reviews upon release for its blend of horror and comedy, stylish direction and the performances from its up-and-coming stars. The Lost Boys also proved to be a modest box office success, grossing over $32.2 million against its $8.5 million budget, and though it continues to be a fan-favorite, one star wishes something would have been a little different with the movie.
