If you are into teenage vampire flicks, you have probably watched The Lost Boys a dozen times and can quote the film by heart. Even today, this ultra-cool black comedy still wins new fans, which is partly due to its great cast. The stars of The Lost Boys made what could have been a cheesy horror movie into a classic that continues to charm a new generation of film lovers. You probably agree that the stars were perfect for their roles, but have you ever wondered what became of the cast when they left Santa Carla? Let’s find out.

He had quit acting when teenaged Alex Winter decided to go back to the screen to play the magnificently mulleted Marko in The Lost Boys. He even stopped going to film school for a bit to do the gig. However, it was truly a risky move for Winter, and he wasn’t actually convinced that the film would be a hit. In the 2019 documentary titled In Search of Darkness, he explained, “It was impossible to see it working. I was like, ‘[This is] not going to work in spades.’”
