Lost Boys, The (1987) 

The Lost Boys Starts out with  Mike, his brother Sam and mother are driving to their new home in Santa Carla. Everywhere they go, they see all kinds of crazy-looking people. When they arrive at their new house with their grandpa and get re-acquainted with him, they begin to think that he's probably up there on the list with the other oddballs in the town.

Later that night, Mike and Sam wander off to the beach where a party is being held. While they are there, Mike is seduced by a strange girl whose name is Star and chases after her.  Suddenly, a group of pale, goth guys come up, led by David, orders Star to come with him. David challenges Mike to a race, and the race ends up at a cliff near the group's hangout. Mike goes with the group to their cave/hangout and is offered a drink which he thinks is red wine, but is really blood.

In the meantime, Sam has ditched his older brother and goes into a comic book store, where he meets Edgar and Alan Frog - better known as The Frog Brothers. They shove a comic book called "Vampires Everywhere!" into the hands of Sam, who's not into horror comics. The Frogs insist that he take it as a survival guide. Then the scene shifts to Mike & Sam's mom, who's walking along the boardwalk, where she runs into Max, a video store owner who gives her a job and with whom she becomes a little bit more than friends.

The next day when Sam is taking a bath, Mike hears him from downstairs, and his thirst for blood is overpowering. He creeps up the staircase slowly. Luckily for both of them, their dog Nanook saves Sam by leaping and slashing at Mike, sending him tumbling down the stairs. Sam quickly gets his robe and rushes down the stairs. As Mike gets up, clutching his wounded arm, Sam peers into the mirror and doesn't see Mike's reflection. That is when he realizes that his brother is a bloodsucker. After Mike gets a hold of him and explains what happened, Sam knows that his older brother is a only a "half" vampire. Sam then seeks the help of the Frog Brothers, as they go on a wild hunt to find the head vampire and kill him. Once the leader is killed, all of the half-vampires return to normal.
