According to Fango, "Tom Savini will appear in LOST BOYS: THE TRIBE, the makeup FX legend/actor told FANGORIA RADIO Friday night. "I'm one of the first vampires you see in the movie," Savini said of the sequel to the much-loved 1987 Joel (THE NUMBER 23) Schumacher teen horror hit. "I'm a surfer who runs into the vampires at the beginning of the film, in a sequence that is shot very Sergio Leone-style [a la the extreme close-up prologue of the director's classic ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST]. They're shooting THE TRIBE in Vancouver right now, and I'll be there September 11."

Savini also confirmed that original LOST BOYS stars Corey Feldman and Corey Haim, who played young vampire slayers Edgar Frog and Sam, will return in the sequel. On their summer A&E pseudo-reality show THE TWO COREYS, the formerly debauched teen idols openly bemoaned the fact that the LOST BOYS sequel would not be requiring their services. "Both Coreys are in it now," Savini said. "And originally it was going to be direct to video, but because of the success of their reality show, THE TRIBE is going to go theatrical."
