‘The Lost Boys 4’ Not In The Works… Right Now
After a lackluster second entry, The Lost Boys: The Thirst seemed to get most fans jazzed up about the Frog Brothers again, with hopes of more to come. With the internet churning out new rumors by the day, Corey Feldman recently sat down cleared up the state of the franchise and how Warner Bros. might proceed.
As far as a fourth film is concerned, Feldman squashed the rumor of definite plans that have been going around. “No, [it’s] not a done deal. I have never said that. I have said that we are hoping that it happens. I would like to see it happen. And I have been working on some story ideas with writer Hans Rodionoff. We have been discussing where a future trilogy will go, if we were to implement that. Where a TV series might go, if we were to implement that. At this time, we have not been given the greenlit to move forward on any of those projects… There is great potential and hope that we will be making another one. But it certainly hasn’t been greenlit. The rumor that hit about a month ago was really just that. A rumor. There is no confirmation on that fact at this point.”
An alternate plan, which had been teased in the past, was a TV series. Although neither a film or serialized format is set in stone at the moment, Feldman chatted about how they would go about it. “The way I see the TV series being an extension of that is, it would be the Frog Brothers and their continuing adventures in all sorts of different ways. The big thing is, once you hit TV, you are able to do this on a weekly basis. You can go outside the confines of what your typical vampire hunters might do. They can go after all sorts of elements of the supernatural. If you go back to the first The Lost Boys, one of the resonating lines of the film is, “Look, we’ve been very aware that there are political leaders in Washington, and that there are ghouls and werewolves allover Washington, D.C.” Right there, in the very first film, we have already set the stage. That we can open this to any supernatural villain we want to. However, in the films, I don’t think that is the best way to go. Because the audience wants to see what they want to see. But, however, once you move it into the world of TV, you have to keep it interesting for twenty-two episodes. Hopefully more. So, that absolutely opens the doors and floodgates to all sorts of opportunities.”
Even if there’s nothing going on at the moment, it’s nice to know that someone with a vested interested in the property is being pro-active about keeping it alive.

1962. Nine-year-old Frankie Scarlatti enjoys a homespun childhood in a rustic Western New York town. The entire community gets into the spirit of Halloween, but then two bullies prank Frankie by locking him in his school cloakroom, leaving him trapped for the night. Alone and afraid, his slumber is interrupted when the ghost of a little girl appears, and Frankie witnesses the specter of her murder by an unseen assailant. Later, while recovering at home, the girl’s ghost appears to him again. With help from his older brother, Frankie begins investigating the circumstances of her death. He soon discovers that her murder was one of several unsolved crimes connected to a local child-killer. As the town’s bucolic veneer fades and long-buried secrets and tensions bubble to the surface, all of the clues to the mystery seem to point towards a huge mansion inhabited by a reclusive woman known as “The Lady in White.”
A nostalgia-driven ghost story wrapped within an intricate murder mystery and coming-of-age drama, writer-director-composer Frank LaLoggia’s passion project Lady in White remains one of the most beautiful and original American horror films of the 1980s. Featuring acclaimed actors Alex Rocco (The Godfather), Len Cariou (Executive Decision), and Sydney Lassick (Carrie, The Unseen), it boasts the first starring role by Lukas Haas (Mars Attacks, Inception) as well as breathtaking photography by Academy Award® winner Russell Carpenter (True Lies, The Lawnmower Man). Vinegar Syndrome is honored to bring this genre masterpiece to 4K UHD, newly restored from its original 35mm camera negative and presented in three versions: its pre-release director’s cut, its extended home-video version, and its original theatrical version, along with an abundance of both new and archival extras.
Paul Lê wrote here on Bloody Disgusting back in 2023, “Over the years, fans have described this film as gateway horror, but they liken it more to The Watcher in the Woods than, say, Hocus Pocus or Casper. There are chilling moments that warrant its PG-13 rating.”
