Episode 265 - Summer Slaycation - THE LOST BOYS (1987) Part 2

It's SUMMER SLAYCATION time and this year we're taking a look at VHS classics!  First up is what many children of the '80s might consider their favorite vampire film of all time. The classic horror/comedy THE LOST BOYS (1987). Directed by Joel Schumacher, the film would solidify the careers of Kiefer Sutherland, Corey Haim, and Corey Feldman, and serve as a template for the "modern vampire" for decades to come. Packed with great '80s tropes (kids vs evil), tons of nods to vampire lore, and a great sense of humor, THE LOST BOYS still holds up as one of the best horror comedies of its decade. So join us as we discuss the film, reminisce about our old video store days, and even take a side tangent or two!

Available today on VOD, THE THIRD SATURDAY IN OCTOBER: PART V and THE THIRD SATURDAY IN OCTOBER were conceived as "lost" slasher classics only recently made available. As such, it is recommended you watch Part V first, as if you're just catching up on a franchise already in progress. We absolutely loved this double feature, so we were thrilled to be able to talk to writer/director JAY BURLESON and actors KANSAS BOWLING and DARIUS WILLIS about this amazing homage to 70s/80s horror! We hope you enjoy this interview, and be sure to check out THE THIRD SATURDAY IN OCTOBER: PART V and THE THIRD SATURDAY IN OCTOBER available now wherever you rent or purchase digital media!

Brian &amp; Tim are one of the best podcast hosts, if you’re in need of a horror/movie podcast, check this out!
They have a great show and amazing segments, interviews, monthly Video Release updates, and movie of the week reviews.
The show is put together well and it shows aurally. Don’t hesitate to listen to them.

One of the best review pods.

I listen to Civil Gore every week, and look forward to each new episode.  Is it that good?  Or do I just need a life?  Both, likely.  Tim and Brian’s love of horror is infectious.  Their take on everything horror is funny, personal, and enlightening.  Yes, you might learn a thing or two from some genuine, normal guys who love horror just as much as you do.  Their puns are bad, while also being hilarious.  I suppose that’s how puns work.  They bring you the latest horror news and movies, so that we know what’s out there, in order to help feed our insatiable horror appetites.  

Don’t ask Tim to say, “wolf.”  He may not know this, but his velvety dulcet tones can’t fix that pronunciation.  But he’s from the South, so what are you gonna do?  Then, you have Brian, who is from the North (hence the Civil War reference in the title of their podcast).  It’s a match made in... hell.

Listen, and you’ll realize what you’ve been missing.
