No two bloodsuckers go the same way.” Director Joel Schumacher’s wildly entertaining re-imagining of Peter Pan follows an uprooted family (Dianne Wiest, Jason Patric, Corey Haim) who move to the gorgeous northern California town of Santa Cruz, er, “Santa Carla” – and quickly discover it’s infested by a gang of motorcycle-riding, glam metal vampires led by Kiefer Sutherland. An amazing time capsule of 80s fashions, music and Santa Cruz locales – Greasy Sax Man! The Boardwalk! The Rob Lowe poster! – THE LOST BOYS has held up astonishingly well, in large part due to the pulpy, comic book tone and a superb cast including Alex Winter, Jamie Gertz, Edward Herrmann, Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander as the Frog Bros., and Barnard Hughes as Grandpa. “You're a vampire, Michael! My own brother, a damn, blood-sucking vampire. You wait 'till mom finds out, buddy!”Tickets: $35 advance / $45 at the doorDoors open at 7:00 PM, film at 7:30 PM at The 418 Project, 155 South River Street, downtown Santa Cruz at the Dragons Gate.Safety protocols will be in compliance with local guidelines at the time of showing. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/santa-cruz/the-lost-boys/100001992773159163 - **Event Categories**: entertainment, music, live-music, art, theatre, literary-art, trips-adventures, meet-and-greet - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: all_ages - door_time: 2026-10-24T02:30:00Z - Duration: 2 hours - Location: The 418 Project - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 39.19, max: 49.87, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Santa Cruz - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: The 418 Project - **lat**: 36.9756829 - **long**: -122.0242979 - **full address**: The 418 Project, 155 S River Street, Santa Cruz, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Lost Boys - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/012b591ed8a8831f7b3793b909d6cd00f54ca2c8d390cbb21319a228e5f59561-rimg-w1200-h600-dc040506-gmir.jpg?v=1783728065 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Lost Boys being held? - **A:** The Lost Boys takes place on Fri, 23 Oct, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Fri, 23 Oct, 2026 at 09:30 pm at The 418 Project, 155 S River Street, Santa Cruz, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing The Lost Boys? - **A:** The Lost Boys is organized by Organized and driving by The 418 Project. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
