1. An American Werewolf in London– I was 6 in 1983 when this premiered on regular cable, and every second of it terrified me, most of all the dream scene in the woods where David awakens as a vampire. Every time I heard the “Blue Moon” song in the intro from that point on, I would scream at my mother to turn the channel.
2. The Exorcist 3– I remember seeing previews for this and it was not yet rated, so being the dumb kid I was, I thought it meant because it was too harsh. Well, it was still scary as shit. The eyes man….the eyes. Killer vibe too.
3. A Nightmare on Elm Street 3– Not too scary, but goddamn hilarious. Sometimes, the humor factor is a must for a great horror film, depending on vibe. There were just too many good one-liners in this one. Welcome to prime time BITCH!
4. Halloween– How many horror films can you say terrify you without the use of effects, blood, or guts? There aren’t many, but Halloween managed to creep you out with suspense, and music. A true feat.
5. Aliens– More Sci-horror, but still a classic. I loved the military aspect of this film. My cousin and I used to quote this word for word. Apone was the best. But yeah, great special effects, great scare factor.

6. The Exorcist– Man, I’m glad I was young when I first saw this. I like 3 better for some reason, maybe because it doesn’t drag on as much, but this is still a classic. The demonic and supernatural aspects of this movie really drew me in. I think this movie was responsible for my fascination with satan as a kid. That and Slayer.
7. Event Horizon– Is this horror? Because it sure scared the piss out of me when I saw it in the theater. It was SO LOUD in there. And, this movie was big on the silent/loud suspense dichotomy. The part where they watch the ship’s video log and see the ship basically enter hell…I was sold. 
8. Hellraiser 2: Hellbound– It doesn’t get any better than Pinhead. Also, the cenobytes are pretty rad. I liked the concept of the box. This movie went a little deeper, where alot of horror movies are afraid to go. I enjoyed the back story as well. Awesome.
9. Texas Chainsaw Massacre– I have a huge serial killer fascination, and this story is loosely based on a few faves of mine. Nothing is creepier than the crazy inbred redneck family…and all the possibilities that lie beyond the doors of their homes. And most of it was set in the daytime! Almost makes it creepier…
10. Children of the Corn– Again with the evil. Always makes for a better horror film. And kids, at that. I read tons of Stephen King as a child and teenager. His stories always resonated with me. I know this was originally a short story, but I never read it. The movie is awesome enough.

The Lost Boys: A New Musical officially kicked off on Broadway last month, and Deadline now reports that the show’s Broadway run has been extended into next year.

The show was originally set to run through November, but Deadline reports that The Lost Boys: A New Musical “has released a block of tickets through Sunday, March 7, 2027.”

The news comes in the wake of The Lost Boys: A New Musical becoming the most Tony-nominated musical of the season with twelve nominations including Best Musical.

Additionally, “The Lost Boys will launch a North American National Tour in Spring 2028, at Playhouse Square in Cleveland. Additional cities and tour dates will be announced later.”

The Lost Boys: A New Musical is of course an adaptation of the 1987 horror classic from director Joel Schumacher, with the cast including Ali Louis Bourzgui as lead vampire David (originally played by Kiefer Sutherland), Maria Wirries as Star (originally played by Jami Gertz), and LJ Benet as the soon-to-be-turned Michael (originally played by Jason Patric).

The horror musical’s cast also includes Shoshana Bean as Lucy Emerson, Benjamin Pajak as Sam Emerson, Paul Alexander Nolan as Max, Jennifer Duka as Alan Frog, Miguel Gil as Edgar Frog, Brian Flores as Marko, Sean Grandillo as Dwayne, and Dean Maupin as Paul.

The Lost Boys: A New Musical is Directed by Michael Arden, featuring Music and Lyrics by The Rescues, Book by David Hornsby & Chris Hoch, Story by James Jeremias & Janice Fischer, and Produced by James Carpinello, Marcus Chait & Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring) by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures.

When a mother and her two teenage sons move to Santa Carla in desperate need of a fresh start, they soon uncover the darker side of this sunny coastal community. While Lucy tries to piece her family’s life back together, Michael keeps pulling away in search of belonging.

As he finds connection with a local rock band and its charismatic leader, his younger brother Sam comes face-to-face with a terrifying reality: When night falls, Michael’s new friends are even more dangerous than they first appeared.

Joel Schumacher directed the original The Lost Boys vampire movie in 1987, wherein two brothers move to a new town and discover that the area is a haven for vampires.
