Corey Haim

 One of the most memorable films of the 80's was of course "The Lost Boys" Almost a microcosm of the era in which it was made, it featured big hair, outrageous cloths, and the over-the-top grandiosity of Pop music characteristic of the 80's. Where else in history, other than 1987 could you possibly find a saxophone player that looked like Thor ???. Like or hate it, this was at the height Post Punk era; a time where fashion and music had few rules, where anything, and everything was possible. Far removed from the cookie cutter age we're now currently living in. This film really does take us back to a special place, Corey Haim through his part in this film helped create that place and he will be sorely missed. Born in my home town of Toronto his career and his life were cut tragically short after and apparent prescription drug over dose on Wednesday. It's no secret that Corey spend much of his life battling a whole slew of personal demons, that much has been well documented..
