lol at the haircuts and clothing


Makes me think what will kids look like in 20 years and will they laugh at our haircuts and clothing.

The special effects are bad but its still a good movie and soundtrack.

..80's mullets rule! and high hair..and feathed hair :)

- hey it was the 80's and it's still awesome to see how the lost boys dressed like punks. They all looked so menacing.

- Kiefer Sutherland was just a bad ass in this and scarey too. great casting.

- and the movie's soundtrack is full of great songs, "lost in the shadows" by Lou Gramm is a timeless hit.

Totally Agree with you 1000%. I was just actually thinking, "i wonder what they did with the wardrobes".

Welcome to the 80's. I inhaled enough aquanet to put down a rhino. Try sharing a bathroom with four older sisters during the late eighties...

Funny how today it's the complete opposite of what it was in the 80's. Pants-half way down your butt and heads shaved...... man the definition of cool changes daily.

I'm lost in development hell and my map burned up!

I was a 14-year-old metalhead when this movie came out and I thought the clothes were the coolest thing ever, haha. To be honest, the jacket that Alex Winter wore:

...and the vintage military jacket and gypsy-type skirt that Jami Gertz wore (couldn't find a good pic of the skirt):

...are both still pretty badass in my opinion.

The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it.

Yes. The haircut and clothing of today is just as stupid looking as those of previous time periods, only stupid looking in a different way. The only truly cool look and hairstyles were from Central Africa around 500B.C.

I have one explanation: it was the 80's. That's really the only excuse.

Exactly. At the time, these were the coolest kids ever seen in a movie or anywhere else.

There was this fire, and I had to save it from a baby...

You're kidding, right? As in, you seriously don't think you're being laughed at right now? Kids today are absolutely ridiculous.

As someone who was a teenager when this came out, trust me that you're right. I laugh at teenage haircuts and clothing now.
