Thirty yr ago , end credits scene were not as common as they are today . Still , the team behind The Lost Boys planned on doing one anyway .
According to the new book Lost in the tail : The Story of The mazed Boys by Paul Davis , the original script from The Lost Boys had a unlike ending — an ending that was eventually moved to the end of the credits . After Grandpa ’s triumphant proceeds back home and the death of the heading lamia , Max , the credits would have roll and then the pic would ’ve returned to the deep-set , underground lamia den . The camera would have floated through the outer space , finally settle on an honest-to-god mural . On the mural : Max in the early 1900s , with a immense smile on his face , talking to a grouping of youthful boy .
regrettably , the scene was never shot nor was the wall painting ever created . According to the celluloid ’s production house decorator Bo Welch , because the film already had one great end ( Grandpa ’s line : “ One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could put up … all the damn vampires ” ) , the tag was never a priority . So when Warner Bros. cut the film ’s budget by 35 percent before shooting , the scene was an easy one to get free of . “ It never got beyond the give-and-take stage , ” Welch said .
But it does still subsist on the page . Davis ’ script contains the book selection and has an illustrated interpretation of the tantrum by creative person Gary Smart . Here ’s how it study , according to the Word of God .
INT . LOBBY / CAVE – NIGHT
Deserted , the CAMERA PROWLS through the Rock ‘ n ’ Roll ruins .
finally the CAMERA pushes toward the previous mural painted on the hall wall . The mural depicts a typical day on the boardwalk in the year 1900 .
CAMERA MOVES CLOVER AND CLOSER TO THE MURAL
And HOLD TIGHT on one painting figure in especial . A man in a straw chapeau . He ’s grin broadly … and he ’s most definitely Max . He ’s talking to a group of young man .
Were those young men think to be David and his crew ? Was this a prompting that Max could come back and do it all again ? Or was it just confirmation that Michael and Sam had stopped a very old problem ? Who knows . It ’s a somewhat vague scene , but an enticing one none the less .
If you ’re a Lost Boys lover , there are net ton of awesome stories like that in Davis ’ Christian Bible . It was only publish on a limited ground and is currently sold out , but you’re able to happen out more about it onTwitterorits official site .
