Goodbye Corey
Another celebrity death on the heels of Brittany Murphy (Clueless) we have lost Corey Haim, best known ( I think) for his role as Sam in The Lost Boys. I will admit, I wasn't a huge fan of his. After all he wasn't in a ton of movies I have seen, but something about losing an actor only 8 years older than myself is a bit disheartening. I remember The Lost Boys was one of the 1st horror movies I had ever seen. I went with my neighbor Tina and some of her friends to see it at the Gothic Theatre, it was new to me, I was going with teenagers even though I couldn't have been 11 or 12 myself. It was a good movie, and I have fond memories of it. How can you not? Keifer Sutherland, Jason Patrick and the 2 Corey's as they would come to be known.

We all have demons we have to fight, and his was drugs, it's a shame, as of Feb 18th he had told reporters he was "doing well and was looking forward to future film projects". I hope he finds peace now. My heart goes out to his mom and his best friend of many many years, the "other Corey" Corey Feldman.
I am beginning to fell "old" as so many of the people from my younger days are passing away...I have fond memories of Corey Haim and his movies. I know that most of them weren't great, but I still enjoyed them just the same.
