Trivia
The title of the film is a reference to the companions of Peter Pan, who remained forever young.
The original screenplay written by Janice Fischer and James Jeremias was originally about a bunch of "Goonie-type 5th-6th grade kid vampires", with the Frog Brothers being "chubby 8 year old cub scouts", and Star being a boy instead of a love interest. Joel Schumacher hated that idea and told the producers he would only sign on if he could change them to teenagers, as he thought it would be more much sexier and interesting.
Both Corey Feldman, who plays Edgar Frog, and Barnard Hughes, who plays Grandpa, share the same birthday, July 16th.
This movie invented the phrase "vamp out", which has passed into common usage on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997).
Keenan Wynn and John Carradine (a veteran of vampire films) were both original choices for Grandpa. Wynn died right before filming and Carradine was too ill.
Executive producer Richard Donner originally intended to direct the movie himself, but as production languished, he moved onto Lethal Weapon (1987) and eventually hired Joel Schumacher for the job.
Kiefer Sutherland was only meant to wear the black gloves he wears as David when riding the motorbike. However, while messing around on the bike behind-the-scenes, he fell off, breaking his arm so he had to wear the gloves through the whole movie to cover his cast.
Though almost all of Kelly Jo Minter`s scenes are deleted from the film, and the only true appearance she makes is over Lucy`s shoulder in the video store, she still received billing the film`s opening credits. Her scenes can be viewed in the 2004 Lost Boys DVD special features.
Sam (Corey Haim) has a poster of Rob Lowe on the outside of his closet door. On the DVD commentary, Joel Schumacher says that it was there because had recently directed Lowe in St. Elmo`s Fire (1985).
The names of the Frog brothers, Edgar and Alan, are a reference to Edgar Allan Poe, the well-known writer of horror fiction.
After Richard Donner passed on directing, Mary Lambert, was brought in, but left due to "creative differences".
Characters in the movie say the name `Michael` approximately 118 times.
