10 Horror Movie Sequels That Started In Surprising Ways

With fans having waited 21 years for a Lost Boys sequel, they were eventually served up two such movies with 2008's Lost Boys: The Tribe and 2010's Lost Boys: The Thirst. To be blunt, neither of these follow-ups were particularly good, though there was a certain charm to revisiting some of the characters from Joel Schumacher's iconic 1987 effort.

Pivotal parts of Schumacher's movie were Edgar and Alan Frog, two young warriors looking to fight the good fight against the "goddamn sh*t-sucking vampires" of Santa Carla, California. Played by Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander, respectively, in that picture, the two actors were set to reprise those roles for The Tribe. Unfortunately for Newlander, he ended up being part of an alternate ending that didn't make the final cut of that offering.

Still, Jamison did get to be a significant part of Lost Boys: The Thirst alongside Feldman's Edgar Frog.

What was surprising about the opening of The Thirst, though, is that Newlander's Alan ends up becoming a half-vampire after being forced to drink vampire blood. From there, the film jumps ahead five years to find a depressed, reclused Alan living out his days surviving on animal blood.
