Sleep all day, party all night, never grow old…teenage vampire living in the 1980’s! A sleeper hit decades before the Twilight saga, this dark comedy featured a hot young cast including Jason Patric, Kiefer Sutherland, Jamie Gertz and the Two Corys (Feldman and Haim) and, naturally, a soundtrack of pop tunes. It doesn’t get any more 80’s! (“Even though you’re a vampire, you’re still my brother.”)

The first—and for over 40 years the only—movie to win Oscars® in all 5 of the top categories: Picture, Director, Actor, Actress and Screenplay.
