We stay up late on this week’s episode as we discuss two beloved modern day vampire movies that were released just months apart in 1987. Yep, we are talking about Kathryn Bigelow’s NEAR DARK and Joel Shumacher’s THE LOST BOYS! These two films have a lot in common and both helped redefine the vampire mythos… but which one is superior? Fangs or no fangs? Paxton or Kiefer? It’s going to be a bloodbath on this episode! Oh okay, maybe it won’t be a bloodbath… but it certainly won’t “suck”. Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.
