The Lost Boys is an American multimedia franchise that began with the 1987 Warner Bros. film The Lost Boys, written by Janice Fischer, James Jeremias, and Jeffrey Boam. The film was directed by Joel Schumacher and produced by Harvey Bernhard. Starring Corey Haim, Jason Patric, Kiefer Sutherland, Jami Gertz, Corey Feldman, Dianne Wiest, Edward Herrmann, Alex Winter, Jamison Newlander, and Barnard Hughes, the story revolves around two brothers who move to a new town and end up fighting a gang of young vampires. The film was followed by two direct-to-DVD sequels, Lost Boys: The Tribe (2008) and Lost Boys: The Thirst (2010).

A novelization of the first film was published in the same year as the film's release. A monthly comic book miniseries, Lost Boys: Reign of Frogs, was also produced in 2008 with the story serving as a lead-in to the first film sequel, Lost Boys: The Tribe. A reboot of the film is currently in the works with Jonathan Entwistle set to direct and Noah Jupe and Jaeden Martell set to star.^[1]
