Corey Haim Dies at Age 38

We all remember Dream a Little Dream, License to Drive and most of all The Lost Boys, one of the best Vampire films of my generation. And with that came the two Coreys. Corey Haim and Corey Feldman. The duo made pop culture history in the 1980s with screaming girls and fun slapstick films.

As of today the 1980s child star Corey Haim has been found dead in Los Angeles. He was a mere 38 years old. The Los Angeles coroner’s office said that Haim died Wednesday morning at the Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank and they are awaiting an autopsy for cause of death. Although rumors have been tossed around that it may have been a possible drug overdose.

Haim began his acting career in 1984 with the film “Firstborn” and then moved on to some of his most famous roles in “Lucas” and “The Lost Boys”. Once drugs entered the scene of his career it pretty much tanked it. And in the recent years with 80s making a nostaliga comeback, he was in some lower budget films and in the popular television series “The Two Coreys,” again with Corey Feldman.

The show lasted two seasons and Feldman declined to do another due to Haim’s drug use.

Haim was currently working on a comeback to his career with films currently in production that also starred Mischa Barton in “The Science of Cool” and “The Dead Sea”.

Overall, Haim will be lost forever to Hollywood’s often childhood tragedies and us fans can remember him as part of the Lost Boys Team.
