Fans of the film ‘The Lost Boys’ received some bad news last month about cast member Brooke McCarter who passed away. It has been announced that the cast will reunite to pay tribute to Brooke at Monster-Mania.

Brooke McCarter passed away at the age of 52 from a liver condition called alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency (AAT). Brooke played ‘Paul’ in the movie ‘The Lost Boys’. He had one of the most memorable deaths in the film, as his character was pushed into a bath of garlic infused, holy water that fried him and stripped the skin away from his skeleton. This resulted in his blood bursting through the bathtub, sinks, toilet and pipes. McCarter began his career as a model and worked on some big name campaigns like JC Penney and Levi’s. Afterwards, he transitioned into acting and eventually scoring independent films and documentaries.

In honor of McCarter’s memory, assorted members from The Lost Boys cast will gather together at Monster-Mania’s thirty-third convention to pay tribute. Those who are scheduled to appear include: G Tom Mac, Jamison Newlander, Chance Michael Corbitt and Billy Wirth. Jason Patric (Michael in the movie) is also slated to attend (this will be his first convention appearance). However, it hasn’t been mentioned if he’ll take part in the event. The convention will run from March 11 (my birthday!) to March 13, and be held in Cherry Hill, NJ. For those who are interested click on the link for more info.

Hopefully this send off will be a great memory for fans at the convention and of the film.
