Michael (Jason Patric) and Sam (Corey Haim) Emerson move with their mother Lucy (Dianne Wiest) to Santa Carla, a coastal California town plagued with gang activity and unexplained disappearances. The family moves in with Lucy’s father (Barnard Hughes), a cantankerous old man who lives in the outlying suburbs of town and who decorates his house with the product of his hobby: taxidermy.

The center of town life seems to be the local boardwalk, which has an amusement park. While Lucy gets a job at a local video and electronics store run by a man named Max (Edward Hermann), Michael is fascinated by a beautiful young woman he sees at a concert. When Michael follows her, she leaves the boardwalk with the leader of the local gang. The following night, Michael finds the young woman again and learns that her name is Star (Jami Gertz). As they are about to leave together on Michael’s motorcycle, the gang leader, David (Kiefer Sutherland), reappears and provokes Michael into a motorcycle race where Michael is almost baited into going over the edge of a sea cliff. Michael punches David, who merely sees potential in Michael. David invites Michael back to his secret hangout, a dilapidated old hotel that sank underground after an earthquake.

At the lair, the gang leads Michael through an unsettling initiation involving Chinese food, culminating with a swig from a wine bottle. A concerned Star warns Michael that he’s drinking blood, but he ignores her and drinks from the bottle. Later that night, Michael joins the gang in hanging underside elevated train tracks. A train passes, and a stunned Michael watches the gang members purposefully fall off into a foggy gorge below. Unable to hold on any longer, Michael falls in as well. He wakes up in his bed, groggy and disoriented.

In the meantime, Sam meets two young brothers, Edgar and Alan Frog (Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander) – a duo who not only run the local comics store, but who are self-proclaimed vampire hunters. They give Sam several vampire comics, claiming that they could save Sam’s life. Sam is skeptical of their claims but begins to notice Michael’s strange behavior, such as sleeping all day, being sensitive to sunlight, and an episode of blood lust. Michael’s behavior gets worse, but Sam denies the Frog brothers’ pleas to kill his brother. Read more
