I don't think that I was actually ready for "The Lost Boys."

I have to confess to being just a little bit shocked that the only copy of "Deep Blue Sea" at out local Blockbuster had already been taken out. "Sphere" was also missing. "Moonwalker" no where to be found. I didn't even bother trying to find "Brain Damage." As Brian put it, "you have to get up pretty early in the morning to get your irony on in Springfield, PA."

The store did, however, have a copy of the movie "I Accidentally Domed Your Son" - that's not a typo. Apparently "domed" is now a word. Kids today...

We ended up with "Saw," "Congo," and "The Lost Boys."

"The Lost Boys" has the most terrifyingly bad costume design I've ever seen in my life! I tried to get a picture of this one vampire kid's mullet - I mean, it was breath taking.

That guy on the left - a totally credible bully. Totally totally credible.

Also, there's this hilarious concert scene where the show onstage is this greased up body builder in purple spandex pants, what looks like a diamond necklace, and this pony tail...I mean, wow, this is just one picture, and it really can't capture the essence of how utterly rediculous the entire thing is.

I have no words.

However, after the movie we did manage to find this guy's website - or at least a bizarrely comprehensive fansite. What the hell? He used to be Tina Turner's keyboardest and I'm not entirely sure if that explains everything, or just deepens the mystery of it all. I mean, even back in the 80s people knew this guy was a crime against humanity, right? RIGHT?

The necklace on the ever so fabulous beach singer is not diamonds but in fact a chain. It's wrapped around his neck twice with 3 strands that dangle. I think it's wonderfully craptacular!
