Of course, for the scene to work, and be as effective as it was, we needed Dennis Grisco to bring in real maggots and worms.īILLY WIRTH (‘Dwayne’): Because I was so green to the industry, and hadn’t really read the script, I didn’t realize that the shots of the maggots and worms were going to be added later. It’s no surprise that it made it through the rewrites, because it was such a brilliant and original idea that was very important to the movie. I believe the scene with the Chinese food was in James and Janice’s original script. That’s why he’s bathed in that white light. JOEL SCHUMACHER (Director): When Kiefer is sitting on his throne in that cave scene, we lit him with a giant arc light that Michael Chapman placed directly above him horizontally. Save this for later if you’re having Chinese for lunch. “As soon as the movie started, the crowd erupted like a rock concert! I got goose bumps and my fiancé immediately nudged me and said ‘this is your next book.”ĭavis granted DAILY GRINDHOUSE an exclusive excerpt from the book, breaking down the shooting of the maggot eating sequence from the film. “However, due to the success of Beware The Moon, the publisher Gary Smart really pushed me to do another movie of my choice.” Davis and his fiancé-whom the author proposed to in the dedication for Beware The Moon-attended a sold out screening of THE LOST BOYS at the Enzian Theater in Orlando, Florida. “I wasn’t initially planning on doing a second book,” Davis revealed to DAILY GRINDHOUSE.

Lost In The Shadows: The Story Of The Lost Boys looks to be a just as in-depth look at Joel Schumacher’s 1987 tale of west coast vampires and sexy saxophone players, including interviews with the director, Kiefer Sutherland and plenty of surprises. The massive tome chronicled the making of John Landis’ 1981 monster movie and featured rare, never before seen photos as well as interviews with most of the cast and crew. Just last year, Davis released Beware The Moon: The Story Of American Werewolf In London.

The book is now available for pre-order at Cult Screenings UK. A new book chronicling the making of THE LOST BOYS is coming your way from author Paul Davis and DAILY GRINDHOUSE got an exclusive excerpt and image to sink your teeth into, even if you don’t like horror comics.
