The Lost Boys (1987)

The iconic 80s vampire film The Lost Boys took place in the fictional town of Santa Carla, CA ("The Murder Capital of the World"). In reality, filming primarily took place in the coastal town of Santa Cruz south of San Francisco.

This is one that I wish I could take credit for, but  Sean Clark at Bloody Disgusting has already written an excellent article about filming locations for this movie, so go check it out!

I've taken the liberty of plugging in all of these locations as well as a couple more I found into a Google Map with the comparison photos, so check that out below.
