Oscars 2011: In Memoriam Segment Leaves Out Corey Haim And More

Posted 2/28/11 3:00 pm EST by in Commentary, Oscars


Corey HaimNow that the big show is behind us, it’s time to highlight a lesser-publicized tradition of each year’s Academy Awards: the fudging of the “In Memoriam.” Oscar producers usually explain away this not-so-glamorous custom as being a result of time constraints, honoree career technicalities, or – at times – simple forgetfulness.

We’re still scratching our heads about how – and why – in previous ceremonies, greats like Farrah Fawcett and George Carlin have been forgotten. This year’s omissions proved no less perplexing – here are four of the biggest snubs.

'Lost Boys: The Thirst' Exclusive Clips: Corey Feldman Walks Softly, Carries A Big Sword

Posted 10/13/10 6:32 pm EST by in DVD, Video


When "Lost Boys: The Tribe," the sequel to Joel Schumacher's 1987 vampire cult hit "Lost Boys," didn't get its planned theatrical release back in 2008, it seemed like a stake had been driven directly into the heart of the potential franchise. But thanks to fans' unquenchable thirst for "The Tribe" on DVD, Corey Feldman is once again sporting his signature red headband as Edgar Frog, vampire hunter extraordinaire, in the appropriately titled "Lost Boys: The Thirst," now available on Blu-ray and DVD.

With his pal Sam (Corey Haim) dead and his brother Alan (Jamison Newlander) turned half vampire, a down-but-not-out Edgar joins forces with a new crop of hunters to take down the evil DJX, who's been building a bloodsucking army by dosing people with vampire blood at raves. But enough about the plot. You want to see the clips. The first is a nice little treat in which Edgar crosses swords and trades barbs with a scantily clad vamp named Lily, while the second features Corey Feldman interviewing... well, Corey Feldman. Check 'em out below.

Do these clips make you want to see "Lost Boys: The Thirst"? And do you think the franchise will enjoy a long, bloodsucking life in the straight-to-DVD market? Tell us in the comments!

Corey Haim And Corey Feldman Through The Years

Posted 3/10/10 3:30 pm EST by in News


FROM MTV.COM: The story of the two Coreys — Feldman and Haim, the latter of whom died at the age of 38 on Wednesday (March 10) — goes back a long way. Much farther than their canceled A&E reality series, "The Two Coreys," might have you believe.

The same-aged actors first met during their teen years when they were auditioning for what turned out to be notable early roles. Both read for "The Goonies" and "Lucas," with Feldman landing the former role and Haim the latter. But it wasn't until 1987 that the duo came together for Joel Schumacher's teen-vampire classic, "The Lost Boys."

Remembering Corey Haim: An Unfinished Life

Posted 3/10/10 1:30 pm EST by in Commentary


The last time MTV News caught up with Corey Haim in July of 2007 he seemed by most accounts to be in a pretty good place. Everything is relative of course. Haim wasn’t exactly on top of the world. But he was back in the public eye, and for the first time in a long while he was clearly relieved it wasn’t related to bad news.

He was promoting “The Two Coreys,” a show that A&E was calling a reality/hybrid at the time. The truth is whatever it was, it certainly captured a fair amount of the reality of Haim and Feldman’s oddball relationship. Inextricably linked since their heyday in the '80s, the two were forever wrestling with what they meant to each other. Throughout my interview with Haim he called Feldman both a brother and a backstabber. I’d accuse him of playing up the rift at the time for the benefit of the cameras but that clearly wasn’t who Haim was. If I had to sum up the 40 plus minute interview he gave us that day in one word it would be: raw.

He was by turns goofy, melancholy, resigned, optimistic and open. His speech was odd, affected seemingly by his years of self-abuse. Truthfully it took me watching the tape afterwards to decipher some of what he was talking about (a particularly bizarre exchange involved his description of how lost so much weight, “watermelon and the disc,” he said—that’s Frisbee you see).

Corey Haim's 'The Lost Boys' Was The Original Teen Vampire Flick

Posted 3/10/10 12:49 pm EST by in Commentary


Before “Twilight,” before “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” there was “The Lost Boys.”

The seminal 1987 teen vampire flick starred Corey Haim as a confused teenager battling a band of leather-clad alterna-vampires in his new hometown of Santa Carla, California. The role helped establish Haim as a legitimate movie heartthrob in the wake of his first semi-hit, 1986’s weepy “Lucas,” and it kicked off a career-long association and friendship with fellow troubled teen actor and co-star, Corey Feldman.

R.I.P. Corey Haim, 1971-2010

Posted 3/10/10 9:30 am EST by in News


The sad news this morning is that Corey Haim, one half of "the Coreys" and star of classics like "The Lost Boys," "License to Drive" and "Lucas," died early this morning. MTV has confirmed with the Los Angeles coroner's office that the actor was pronounced dead at 2:15am at Providence St. Joseph Hospital. No further details were available, pending an autopsy and investigation. TMZ reports a drug overdose is the suspected cause of death.

Haim was of course known best -- at least by people from my generation -- for his role in the teen vampire flick "The Lost Boys," which also starred Kiefer Sutherland, Jason Patric, Jami Gertz and Corey Feldman. My first memory of Haim in film is from "Silver Bullet," an adaptation of Stephen King's werewolf novella. The title of that movie actually has two meanings, referring both to the best method for offing a werewolf and the awesome motorcycle/wheelchair that Haim's character uses. Read More...
