The Lost Boys is a multimedia franchise about vampires.

The original The Lost Boys was released in 1987 and starred Jason Patric, Corey Haim, Kiefer Sutherland, Jami Gertz, Corey Feldman, Dianne Wiest, Edward Herrmann, Alex Winter, Jamison Newlander, and Barnard Hughes.

A direct-to-DVD sequel, Lost Boys: The Tribe, was released in 2008. Corey Feldman returned as Edgar Frog, with a cameo by Corey Haim as Sam Emerson. Kiefer Sutherland's half-brother Angus Sutherland plays the lead vampire.

A third film entitled Lost Boys: The Thirst, with Feldman serving as an executive producer in addition to playing Edgar Frog, and Newlander returning as Alan Frog was released on DVD in 2010.

After the first films initial release there were plans to make a sequel named The Lost Girls just two years after with David returning as the villain but the plans never came to fruition. Scripts for this and other sequels circulated, and the original film's director, Joel Schumacher, made several attempts at a sequel during the 1990s.

There were also plans for a fourth film after the release of the third film but it was cancelled after the folding of its production company.

The original film was novelized by Craig Shaw Gardner. It was released in paperback by Berkley Publishing and is 220 pages long.

In 2016 a fanmade videogame was created for the series.

The CW and Rob Thomas are developing a Lost Boys TV series that will be set over 70 years, each season chronicling a decade starting with season 1 set in 1967 in San Francisco during the summer of love.
