Bring Me the Axe! is a comedy podcast celebrating the best (and worst) horror from a time when the video store ruled the night. Every other week, brothers Bryan and Dave White (and the occasional guest) heed the call of nostalgia and evaluate the classic 70s and 80s horror movies they loved in their childhood to determine whether the movies are still relevant today or should be allowed to fade into obscurity.
This week we’re joined by the legendary drag queen Peaches Christ to talk about Joel Schumacher’s landmark 1987 vampire movie, The Lost Boys, starring Jason Patric, Corey Haim, and Kiefer Sutherland. The Lost Boys marked a radical new direction for vampires that took Tony Scott’s sexy goth approach in The Hunger and injected with the MTV sensibilities of late-80s teen culture. Paired with incredible night time photography and killer soundtrack, it is as close to perfect as a horror movie can get.
Brothers Michael and Sam Emerson are moved to the seaside town of Santa Carla, California with their mother. It’s your average boardwalk town with one mean exception: people go missing here at a much higher rate than most other places in the country. When Michael is brought into a group of wild weirdos that live by night it falls to Sam and the weirdo Frog Brothers to deal with Santa Carla’s real problem: vampires.
