BGH Thirsty Thursdays - "The Lost Boys" Drinking Game

Here at Bloody Good Horror we spend much of our time talking about good movies and bad movies alike, and picking apart the things that place titles in either category. In horror specifically, there is a beautiful gradient, comprised of everything from "so bad it's good" to "just plain bad." For many movies in this grey area, the viewing experience itself - who you watch it with and how - can be as important as the movie itself. In that tradition, every first Thursday of the month we'll fondly recall one of those kinds of movies that seem made for the loud and alcohol-fueled viewing party, and give you the framework to host a screening of your very own, complete with imbibing instructions!

Note: BGH reminds you to respect the mimimum age requirement for drinking in whatever god forsaken hellhole you live in.


For our first movie, let's start with a no brainer. The Lost Boys comes to us from a time when mullets were hot and Corey's were hotter. Joel Schumaker was a relatively new director with a few successful titles under his belt and with this movie he was given all of the right ingredients. With an all star cast of rising young stars (like Keifer Sutherland, Alex Winter, and both the Coreys) and a script all about hip young vampires, this movie was magic in the making. Whether you've seen it before or you're preparing for your first viewing, we have you covered, and you're in for a real treat.

 

Rules

  • Take a sip for each new taxidermied animal around the house.
  • Sip a little sip every time you hear Gramp's worn-out car horn play "La Cucaracha."
  • Drink every time David (Keifer Sutherland) utters Michael's name. 
  • Chug your drink for the entirety of the greased-up sax man's appearance.
  • Raise a glass for the seemingly ageless Rob Lowe, who looks just as good now as he does in the awkward poster on Corey Haim's wall.
  • Drink everytime you hear Corey Feldman's gravelly Batman voice. Eat your heart out, Christian Bale.
  • Take a drink whenever any member of the vampire posse gets a line.
  • In the immortal words of Edgar Frog, "No two bloodsuckers go out the same way. Some yell and scream, some go quietly, some explode, some implode, but all will try to take you with them." Pour some out (right into your mouth hole) for every fallen vamp. So. Much. Glitter. Blood.
