Featuring songs by popular acts INXS & Jimmy Barnes, Echo & the Bunnymen, and Mummy Calls, the soundtrack is as sleek and as fashionable as the hip, horror-comedy that flipped the idea of vampires on its head and made them into modern teenagers who slept all day and partied all night. It’s fun to be a vampire!
Originally available on LP vinyl and cassette, the soundtrack made the leap to CD on October 25, 1990. It has remained in print since its initial release in 1987, becoming one of the most popular soundtracks in motion picture history.
“Cry Little Sister (Theme From The Lost Boys)” became one of the most popular and well-recognized songs. It has been covered over a dozen times through the years, by the likes of Tangerine Dream, L.A. Guns, and Carfax Abbey, to name a few.
