Corey Haim was found dead this morning of an apparent accidental drug overdose at the age of 38.  It had been a rough few years decade for the guy I’ll always remember as Sam from Lost Boys.

In 2008, the Israeli-Canadian bought the full-page in Variety you see at left, hoping to get more acting work.  This was following his profile in probably the most depressing episode of E! True Hollywood Story I’ve ever seen in 2001.  Most episodes end with the subject making a comeback, Haim’s ended with him being on so many pain killers you could barely understand him, living in a tiny apartment in Hollywood where he stared out the window and played songs on his Casio keyboard.  Seven years later, the Variety ad sort of paid off, with Haim getting roles in The Coreys “reality” show, Crank High Voltage, and nine in-development credits on IMDB at the time of his death, though they were mostly B-movies.

Haim’s death marks certainly the saddest appearance of Greasy Sax Man on this site ever.  Stay tuned for updates.  So far all we know is that it was a drug overdose.  But, and I don’t want to jump to conclusions here, police seemed especially careful not to rule out the possibility of Danny Masterson.

At the hotel afterparty following the Horror Hound Weekend in Indianapolis this weekend, someone dared Corey Haim to rap, which makes complete sense considering the people there were by definition fans of things that are horrible.  Haim accepted, because what has he got to lose, and busted some rhymes.  I mean, I guess he rhymed, you can’t really hear anything he says. The guy with the guitar and his friend on the djembe sort of drowned out the vocals.  Which I suppose is for the best.  You can’t have a white-boy jam without a djembe.

Unless you’re a total newcomer to this site, you know that Greasy Sax Man video can mean only one thing: Lost Boys news.

TV writer Evan Charnov (Fearless) has been tapped to pen the screenplay for The Lost Boys 3, Warner Premiere’s next direct-to-disc sequel to the classic teen-vamp film from 1987. In addition, Corey Feldman has come on to produce and will also return once again as Edgar Frog. We’re told this film will actually focus on Feldman’s popular character (thank God). Corey Haim’s return as Sam Emerson is highly, highly unlikely at this point in time. [BloodyDisgusting]

At this point, the Lost Boys franchise is less about movies than it is a New Deal scheme to keep the Coreys employed.  That only one Corey is occupied is really a waste of investor’s money. The government needs to step in before he goes rape crazy at a petting zoo or starts rapping..

Lost Boys news means Greasy Sax Dude video.  It’s the law.

Even after Corey Haim spent thousands of his own money promoting himself and filmed a “reality” show, his hopes for a movie career still seem to be tied to continuing the Lost Boys franchise, which isn’t really a franchise.

“I’ve seen the whole movie LOST BOYS: THE TRIBE], I don’t like it, to be honest with you,” Haim tells SpookyDan on the red carpet of the 6th annual Eyegore Awards. “I’m not gonna lie to you, I don’t like it as much as the first one,” he continues, “There’s HALLOWEEN 1 and 2 and then there’s 3 that has nothing to do with Michael Myers…. We went from LOST BOYS 1 to, let’s say just like a neutralized, keep it hot and fresh LOST BOYS 2, and [now we'll] hopefully go for the LOST BOYS 3 thing, which is gonna happen.”

The Lost Boys came out in 1987.  21 years later they did a direct-to-DVD sequel.  It’s about as fresh as a Bangles t-shirt.  Point being, can someone give this guy a GD job?  If Hasselhoff still gets to be famous, Corey Haim should get something. Read the rest of this entry »
