I met Corey Haim during a Lost Boys video promotion in Las Vegas, late 1980s. I was very impressed by this young man and it is sad to see how his career spiraled and ended like this. I will always remember him as Lucas and the wheelchair-bound "boy who cried werewolf" in Silver Bullet.
RIP Corey. --- On Sat, 3/13/10, Greg <[email protected]> wrote: From: Greg <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [MOPO] Anyone surprised? To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, March 13, 2010, 6:32 PM Guys & Gals...in retrospect, I was coming from a place of anger regarding the death of Corey Haim, and forgive me if I assaulted any tender sensibilities. It's just that I have watched so many of my friends and fellow musicians die young, old and needlessly from drugs that I just throw up my hands in dismay and frustration at times, and sarcasm is often a deflection for me. Personally? I've almost checked out early from the Big Hotel at least 3 times from ODs, and you know what...it would have indeed been a stupid way to die, and I would have left lots of sadness & wreckage behind. I guess I was just lucky, unlike Mr. Haim.. I am so in the trenches when it comes to drugs, I work with addicts as a musical counselor, and they are lovely amazing people, but GOD they do dumb things to themselves. If I seemed less than sensitive to Haim's death, it's just that I have seen too much of it, and occasionally my brain explodes. I beg the group's pardon for being such a seemingly insensitive dick. Group hug? Greg Douglass PS-I still think LOST BOYS is overrrated. I ain't taking that shit back.
