Q: Is The Lost Boys considered a horror movie?

A:Variety panned the film, calling it "a horrifically dreadful vampire teensploitation entry that daringly advances the theory that all those missing children pictured on garbage bags and milk cartons are actually the victims of bloodsucking bikers." It won a Saturn Award for Best Horror Film in 1987.

@storyteller @abominable1 I always knew that it was rated R, though I don't see a reason for it to be.

I always thought it's a good starter horror flick to show ya kid. Then, show him Fright Night, that deserved its R rating.

@storyteller @abominable1 I always knew that it was rated R, though I don't see a reason for it to be.

probably because of the head explosion -electrocution scene
and even that was tame compared to some of the Scanners flicks

Spoiler

and if i remember correctly, the ending was a little bloody.

Hell,
i remember discussing with a friend that the Goonies should have been rated R if lost Boys was

Yeah, the Lost Boys definitely felt like beginner level stuff. I remember thinking that about Nightbreed too. They're horror, but without any bite. Fright Night was a REAL ONE for sure.

Such a fun movie and very well made. From the music to the casting, basically a perfect 80s movie even if it isn't horror enough for you. shyts classic.

Goonies didn't have any blood just some language and suggestive shyt. Lost Boys would be pg13 nowadays and Goonies probably would be too I suppose. Kind rode that fine line. Stand By me, another 80s kids classic was more adult in content and contrasts goonies in being more justified in a R rating.

loved all the corey feldman movies back in the day.
This, Goonies, and stand by me, were personal favorites.
