10 Worst Friends In Horror Movies

7. David Works His Dark Mojo On Michael – The Lost Boys (1987)

Sorority Row
Warner Bros.

Another vampire cult classic with the worst friends in the business, The Lost Boys is about the journey of Michael (Jason Patric) into the inner circle of a group of Cali-coast bohemian biker vamps. Because where else does the young, hip, self-assured creature of the night go but sunny California?

Falling head over heels for Star (Jami Gertz), a local girl in thrall to David (Kiefer Sutherland), the group's assumed biter-in-chief, Michael entangles himself in their night-time games, no matter how often he is warned away. And why not? David seems a swell fellow, at least to begin with...

Ushering him into their ranks, David guides Michael through various initiations – including drinking a bottle of blood – without letting him know that, by the end of them, he'll be, umm... dead.

Lucky for Michael, his younger brother Sam (Corey Haim) is a better bud, who happens to befriend the vampire-hunting Frog Brothers (Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander). The trio bring Michael back from the brink and put an end to David for good, impaling him on a handy set of antlers.
