bjd Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 Ok, it's not like De Niro passing away or anything but it's still very sad. He never really recovered from being a child star and spent a lot of his life in and out of rehab. Growing up when he did and with the adulation he got so early was always going to be a struggle for him to adapt when things stopped going his way. Will give the The Lost Boys soundtrack a spin tonight for sure. the movie hasn't dated well but it sure meant a lot to me when in 1988, as did Corey Haim. Lets hope he is at peace now. Death by stereo!

The Moos Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 Really sad news. How many child stars have gone the way he did? He was quite talented so it's sad that he never had a long successful career.
dkw Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 him and the other Corey (feldman?) were in a lot of films when i was a youngster so its a shame to see him die so young. RIP.
mad_mac Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 They actually had a show on out here called "the two Coreys" or something to that effect. It was sad to watch. Feldman had obviously moved on, had a nice house, a wife that was a model, and still had some form of a career. Haim was still kicking about in a leather Jacket, was off chasing some chick from England for a while, not working, crashing on Feldman's couch, and generally being a recovering alcoholic drug user with no direction. He desperately held on to the hope that there would be a Lost Boys Two, and that would signal his big come back. However, the producers of the upcomming movie contacted Feldman tos ay they wanted him to make a cameo, but were not at all interested in Haim. You could tell it just destroyed him! He was a posted boy of the 80's, and had too much too young. He just never knew how to deal with it once it was all gone. RIP Corey
