R.I.P Corey Haim (23rd Dec 1971 – 10th Mar 2010)

This news is only just breaking so exact details are still a little sketchy, but according to a number of sources The Lost Boys star was found dead in his apartment of an apparent accidental drug overdose in the early hours of this morning. Corey Haim, aged 38, shot to fame in the 80s after a string of hits with the half of the "Corey duo", Corey Feldman.

Although he'll be remembered most for The Lost Boys, an ever growing franchise with a third installment in the works that was to star both Coreys, I always liked Stephen King's Silver Bullet, in which Haim starred alongside Gary Busey as a disabled kid who believed a werewolf was behind a string of gruesome murders in a small town. Not the best film in the world but how many times have you seen a kid in a motorised wheelchair with flames painted on it going up against a fucking werewolf? That's right, none! Gertcha!

I could cry! Not really but it's a shame really. Lost Boys is just classic and I to like Silver Bullet which to this day as Snake said is the only film featuring Wheelchair vs Werewolf.
