Corey Haim was half of the 80s hearthrob sensation team of Corey Feldman and Corey Haim. They did a number of films together, all which are instant 80s pop culture classics. But none were more popular than The Lost Boys.
Today, it was announced that Haim was found dead, likely the result of an overdose.
Corey Haim, the teen idol best known for his role opposite Corey Feldman in the ’80s vampire flick The Lost Boys, was found dead of an overdose this morning, according to the Los Angeles Police Department, who were called to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Burbank, California to investigate. Haim was just 38 years old.
This is just terrible news. I was a huge Corey’s follower in the 80s.
After seeing the reality show The Two Corey’s I was not only surprised to see how Feldman landed such a superhottie, but also a little saddened that Corey Haim was on such a distructive path. He just couldn’t seem to keep it together and had no foreseeable future.
Well they set a plan in motion and it looked like Haim was about to see a mini resurgence in popularity with cameos in Crank 2 and possibly facing off against the Frog Brothers in another Lost Boys sequel. He even took a full page ad in an industry paper. Hoping to reinvigorate his career.
Sad that won’t happen.
I’m going to to watch Prayer of the Rollerboys in tribute to this troubled soul who lost his way.
