What year was "The Lost Boys" released?

"The Lost Boys" turned vampires from creepy castle dwellers into leather-jacket-wearing motorcycle punks who looked like they belonged in a hair metal music video. Joel Schumacher took the classic bloodsucker formula and gave it a serious 80s makeover, complete with fog machines, saxophone solos, and enough hair product to put a hole in the ozone layer. The movie starred the two Coreys and made Kiefer Sutherland the coolest villain this side of a Duran Duran album cover. What year did this quintessential 80s vampire flick hit theaters?
